Las Memorias; sitting on a rocking chair in Viñales watching the sunset and thinking of life.

The wife of a tobacco farmer, a strong woman of generosity and humour lost in thought while enjoying a hand-rolled Puro (cigar) and a glass of rum.

Palladium platinum prints are the choice for serious collectors of black and white photography.  They are the ultimate expression of bespoke craft printing.  In the hands of a master printer they can provide a unique register of tones and effects bringing unexpected nuances from a negative.  Prints created in this way have an ethereal quality with incredible detail, enhanced by the way the chemicals soak into the fibres of the paper.  They are also light fast and therefore not subject to any form of fading over time. James Sparshatt’s platinum prints are produced by 31 Studio, the UK’s leading exponents of this art.
