Silver Gelatin Print

15 + 2AP

A silver gelatin photograph or print is a black-and-white image exposed from an analogue film negative using only optical and chemical processes. The process yields an image with deep blacks, organic texture and a timeless look.

A silver gelatin photograph has no inks or pigments. It consists of microscopic silver particles bound in a layer of gelatin. This makes for a lasting image proven by the 150-year history of the process.

Visually silver gelatin yields uniquely neutral black-and-white images with deep blacks and subtle nuances.
