• For VIP clients who wish to contract the production of a series of art gallery level prints in a limited number of pictures, these can be produced at a price per picture which may vary according to the number contracted. Genuine fine art analog pictures are generally produced for VIP clients and the photographer may use a number of his classic cameras including Hasselblad V series and Mamiya 645 in formats 645 6x6 and 4.5x4.5 y Mamiya 645 and “35mm medium format” Hasselblad Xpan Panoramic pictures. It is to be stressed that analog photos are of a high artistic content and can include film grain, paper textures, sloppy borders, film edge, chassis edge, brush strokes from application of emulsion by hand, signs of washing and drying by hand and other elements related to their hand-made nature. These pictures have been finished to archival quality but should be stored in a sensible and appropriate manner which will include not placing them in direct sunlight, excesses of temperature or humidity and that any mounting or framing materials that come into direct contact with the photo should be acid-free. The fine art fiber based prints have received archival standard washing, natural air drying on professional fiber drying screens and pressing in a press between acid-free blotting paper during minimum 24 hours but sensible measures should be taken to maintain the flatness of the photo including not rolling it too tight in transportation tubes and mounting it professionally in a way that helps to maintain flatness.
• Digital cameras with full frame sensors, high ISO capabilities and super-fast f1.2 lenses allow the photographer to obtain photos without the use of lighting, flashes or strobes and thus the capture of natural real looking shots. In the case of analog photography low ISO films may be used and fairly slow lenses particularly in the case of medium format wide angle or tele lenses. The photographer may compensate for this by the use of between 1 and 8 separate sources of continuous light, CFL or tungsten or flash heads or strobes fired simultaneously by radios. This has its advantages and disadvantages. The photographer will take what he considers in his opinion to be the best artistic and photojournalistic decisions.
• If analog color pictures are produced during the photography session they may be produced by hand by the photographer using C41 processing for color negatives and Xpro cross processed slde transparencies or E6 technology for slide film available in hand made prints produced by the photographer on Kodak Supra Endura or Fuji Crystal Archive paper using Tetanol and Kodak RA-4 chemistry
