Platinum Printing Workshops

David Chow is a fine art photographer based in Cambridge; he studied photography at degree level and printmaking at master’s level at the Cambridge School of Art.

David started his career by producing striking black and white portraits of flowers, he has since turned his eye to alternative printing techniques used by the old masters of photography and is now well known in the U.K for his exquisite Cyanotype prints of flowers. He is passionate about using such techniques as they not only have an ability to capture an expansive tonal range and luminescence but each print is a unique one of a kind print. He is one of a very few practitioners in the country to be teaching alternative photographic printing processes including cyanotype and platinum/palladium printing and has been doing so for the last 4 years. He also teaches students at colleges and universities an 'Introduction to Alternative Photographic Printing Techniques ' which provides an overview of a number of printing techniques including, Cyanotype, Kalitype, Photogravure, Platinum and Wet Plate collodion.

David is represented by a number of galleries in the U.K and U.S and has exhibited his work widely and is included in numerous private and corporate collections. His main photographic website can be found at www.dcfineart.net
