Making Big Large Format Prints and Displaying them in a gallery.

[@RandyPollock]

When I see Todd post a video, I wait until I can focus 100% on it ... never disappointed. Wonderful work by Mr. Speer wish I could have enjoyed them in person.

Hi Todd, Trev from Australia again. Great video, magnificent photographs, and a great philosophy regarding photographing any site. Paraphrasing, "photograph as you found it, leave it as you found it". I will always have a deep passion for large format black and white, but Steve Speers explanation of framing and presenting took it to another level. Thanks to both

[@toddkorolphoto]

Thanks, we have to act responsible when we are out taking photos. Steve is a class act.

[@quickwateroutdoors7301]

Beautiful work. Interesting choice in paper with William Turner.

[@toddkorolphoto]

Yea I don’t think it works for everything but for this is was nice.

[@discojelly]

Very cooool Todd! That detail in all of those prints.. makes you feel like you can walk right into them!

[@eltinjones4542]

Fair play to you, drawing attention to the work of another photographer 📷👍

[@toddkorolphoto]

Thanks, for me it's all about the work.

[@krishartsphotography5643]

Awesome prints & Photographs :) & a nice episode :)

[@toddkorolphoto]

Thanks, hope to do more.

[@lensman5762]

I still print some of my photographs with my Epson 3880. No one else sees them but me, but I feel that a printed photo has some qualities that ca never be appreciated on a screen.

[@toddkorolphoto]

Yes indeed.

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

It's not a photograph until it's printed. (My philosophy about prints).

[@magnusa.5599]

ok. that's it. i'm dusting off my 4x5. then i'll buy another house to hang all those future prints. :D beautiful work by mr. speer!

[@toddkorolphoto]

Yes, get that 4x5 out!

[@LScott97]

Excellent interesting video! Well done!👍👍👍

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

Really enjoyed this video, Mr. Korol. Didn't't know what to expect but was hoping to hear some emphasis on the framing as well as the photography. I was not disappointed. Framing for a show is so expensive and time consuming and such a major part of the show that it can't be passed over lightly. It takes a bit of thought and time deciding on format size and aspect ratio, matt size and type, etc. You did a magnificent presentation. I shot 4x5 b&w for many years and loved the process. I got used to living in the darkroom like a mushroom, but I never did a show of my 4x5 work. I resisted digital right up to the end but when it got to the point where I no longer had a darkroom and couldn't conveniently buy film I went to digital. Now I would not willingly go back to film. I just finished a successful show of 60 of my wild bird pictures that I could never have done with film and I'm still getting orders for them. I'm 80 years old now and bought my first camera in 1961and I still get excited when I see a good image coming together.

[@toddkorolphoto]

That sounds wonderful, would have loved to see that show. Although I still love film, I do hope people understand that for me it's all about the final image that is displayed, not how it was taken. That is great you are still out there taking photos!! I sure hope I am.

Hi Todd, could you pop the auto English captions on please chap? Thank you.

there is something in the air or the water in alberta that produces amazing photographic artists. there is an honesty that captures the magic in alberta of who we are as canadians. zen billings

[@toddkorolphoto]

Yes there is a really good community here of landscape and art photographers.

I am thoroughly impressed AND inspired after seeing these images. Thank you so much for sharing! I, too, began my photographic career in the early 1970's, buying my first Hasselblad in 1972. Now, with the X1D, and expecting a new X2D to be delivered anytime soon, I'm looking forward to displaying new large prints in this manner. I can only print up to 24" wide, so not quite as big, but still big enough. A couple of questions, when you've got the time - 1. Steve states these are 30x40". Is that the "image" size, or the outside matted size? 2. Does Steve use glass or acrylic? Thanks again for this video. I have enjoyed following your You Tube videos. I love the "openness" you show of Alberta, and especially the remnants of years gone by. Just the opposite of my home in Tennessee - all greenery & trees. Lots water falls and more trees! The Appalachian mountains are a different "breed" of mountain, compared to the Rockies. Trees cover the hills completely, with the tallest mountains being a bit over 6000', while humans have inhabited these "hills" since day one. Lots of culture!

[@toddkorolphoto]

The X2D looks great. The prints are 30x40” and he does use glass.

[@toddkorolphoto]

I have been to Tennessee one time I would love to go back and take photos!

[@cliftonwhittaker260]

@@toddkorolphoto Very heavy and storage is a problem for me.

[@JohnKorvell]

Now that he's moved from 4x5 to digital, can he make prints as large and still get that beautiful print quality?

[@toddkorolphoto]

Good point , not with the smaller cameras he uses. Plus the film has a real lovely look to it.

[@JohnKorvell]

@@toddkorolphoto They are stunning!

No digital camera today can copy that large format look. The part your missing is part of the client or viewer connection maybe cause it has that film, large format look, digital cant produce that look.

[@toddkorolphoto]

Yep I still haven’t found a look that comes close to large format film.
