The Legacy - STAGE 3
The Final Fine Art Print
Master's of the wet process work in a darkroom lab environment will also control the output tones and sizes of the final print using the film enlargers.
Specialized papers are used too.
Either silver gelatin, fibre, gloss, matt and other types of available papers, depending on how artistic the Master wishes to get with the photograph.
The most highly priced photographs sold in the art markets are mostly printed on silver gelatin or fiber papers, although if the subject is important (like a celebrity, world event, etc) or if a specific Master's style of photography is in demand, then the paper make's little difference, although some Masters will only print their One Edition on silver gelatin or fiber papers to convey the uniqueness of the print.
The Master normally signs and number's the edition, which is then recorded for authenticity purposes and verification. Some Master's provide a special Certificate of Authenticity and record the information via a third party facility (usually the artist's trust, agent or auction house).
The entire process from stage's 1-3 can take anywhere from one to two days of dedicated application by the Master.
Some Photographers insist on 2-3 weeks if they are also involved with the final framing and presentation of the artwork.
The fine art photography collector must remember that they are acquiring not only a special photograph but a piece of art. The price will reflect this.
