The “Entwined” print by Almos Lataan (https://almoslataan.com) arrived back from Printolino. It is 10×8 inch print, from a 5×4 Large Format Negative. It’s actually a recent edit. There was a print version of the photo used in an exhibition at The Glasgow Gallery of Photography which was was still a little dark, so some edits for print were made.
Printolino are great for the quality of the print. However, I used to use Loxley Colour, who also produce fantastic prints, and I would say that their packaging of the prints is a little better, with two extra stiff pieces of card on either side of the print, minimising the chances of damage in the post.
As to paper choice, Hahnemühle William Turner 308gsm was chosen.
The AlmosLataan project itself is meant to be a celebration of life.
Two souls are entwined in pregnancy, beginning a relationship of love, beauty, and pain, symbolised by the roses.
Initially part of a sister project (at https://almoslataan.com), I am showing on this site as I’m not really updating my other site at the moment, but I may do at a later point. I would define this particular piece as representative of a more serious approach to photography which I would like to explore, along the lines of celebrating life, in an age where life itself is being rejected in a very real sense. I hope that this photo helps capture the beauty of what is the incredible birth of a new person into this world, with all the wonder that accompanies welcoming them, and seeing them grow.
