New 8x10 Painted Photographs & Pigment
Prints from Nash Editions
I finally have some of Kim's original 8x10 painted photographs up
on the site. These images were first produced in his studio, then
printed in the darkroom and then painted with oil paints. They are
one of a kind images.
Also available are Kim Weston's 32x40 Digital Pigment Prints
printed on Epson Ultrasmooth Paper, 500 gsm. Mounted on
aluminum and sealed for permanence.
From Nash Editions, Mac Holbert;
"When we first saw Kim's painted photographs we knew we wanted to not only
print them but to publish them as well. Graham and I are very
selective about the art we choose to publish and we are excited to
be working with Kim."
"They are an fascinating blend between traditional photography and
painting beautifully expressed on fine art paper using
cutting-edge technology and the most permanent pigmented inks
available." Limited Edition available now.
Weston
Photography Workshops
We had a
wonderful start of the year with our traditional Wildcat Studio
Nude I. We toured Point Lobos and photographed at Wildcat Hill
with 3 fabulous models. We got to see some old friends, meet some
new photographers and have our wonderful artist dinner!
Do you want to go to Scotland in August? Let me know soon if you
do! We still have openings for the Large Format Workshop in June,
Wildcat Studio Nude II and The Platinum Workshop with Ryuijie. Now
is the time to sign up! Just send me an email or give me a call
831-624- 8111.
If you have images from the last workshop send them in and I will
post them for you. Remember I am still on dial up. I have posted
all of the Participants images that I have so far. If I missed
yours make sure and let me know. Check it out, there is some
really fine photography being made here. Certainly nice to see the
progression of work over the years.
