Paper Chase - Ilford Galerie - page 3

TOP: The main Galerie Professional range (excluding the Studio media) in natural light.
MIDDLE: The UV-booth shows the differences in OBA loadings for the papers. Smooth Fine Art is optically dead in the UV light. Note that the Multi-use Paper has already started to show yellowing effects of OBA deterioration; there is a distinct rim around the exposed edges.
BOTTOM: The error plot for the skin tones with Smooth Fine Art shows the data points to be mapped towards the neutral base white but overall the values are desaturated and rotated anti-clockwise (ie towards red). This was still a good data set though!

FINAL WORD

These are a particularly good set of gloss and pearl media; the consistency across the range in terms of colour response is quite remarkable, meaning that you can mix and match with no problems. The art materials are a little on the lightweight side for many applications and are expensive compared to their competitors.

Photo Quote: As I became aware that all things have unique spatial and temporal qualities which visually define and relate them, I began to perceive the things I was photographing not as objects but as events. Working to develop my skills of perceiving and symbolizing these event qualities, I discovered the principle of opposites. When, for example, I photographed the smooth, luminous body of a woman behind a dirty cobwebbed window, I found that the qualities of each event were enhanced and the universal forces which they manifested were more powerfully evoked. - Wynn Bullock
