Original photographic prints are available from many of William Neill's images, including work found in his book Yosemite: The Promise of Wildness, and Landscapes of the Spirit. These photographs are signed and numbered, and are mounted and overmatted on natural white, archival museum board.
PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS BY WILLIAM NEILL
Process and Technique
Neill photographs with a Wista 4x5 SP metal field camera and Canon 35mm film
and high resolution digital cameras. To make his fine prints, his transparencies
are scanned with a state-of-the-art Heidelberg Tango drum scanner. These scans
are normally done with an optical resolution of around 2500 dpi, resulting
in a file size of around 300MB. He works on the digital file in Photoshop
using the same controls as in any traditional color darkroom, making adjustments
in color balance, contrast and density. No alternation or manipulation of
the image is made, besides standard cleaning of dusts or defects. The light
and color seen in the photograph were created in camera at the time of exposure.
Canon's
IPF8000
Neill’s prints incorporates the latest inkjet technology: Canon’s
12-color, pigment-based image¬PROGRAF iPF5000 and iPF8000 printers, which
have 17- and 44-inch carriage widths, respectively. Canon’s pigmented
Lucia inks that show exceptional color, resolution and archival qualities;
with custom closed-looped color management. The digital file is output onto
the highest grade, photographic quality inkjet or watercolor paper, which
are highly archival--nearly twice the archival durability Fuji Crystal Archive
material, and four times the durability of the Ilfochrome/Cibachrome process.
The result is a combination of color quality and accuracy, print longevity,
resolution and cost that is unmatched by any other process.
His photographs are signed, numbered, and are mounted and over-matted on white,
archival museum board. Many of his prints are available in editions limited
of 150. A small group of images are available as Open Edition Prints. Open
Edition prints are numbered sequentially, but not limited in quantity. Open
Edition Prints are made by the same process, and to the same exacting standards
as Limited Edition Prints, and also mounted and matted on archival museum
board. The intention is to provide the collector with high quality prints
with a lower price range
Technique, however, is not the artist’s central interest. Instead, it
is to ensure that the feeling of each print is true to his deeply felt experiences
exploring the wonders of Nature.
