Each image in Smid's 'Light on our Land' collection has been meticulously printed by hand on Ilfochrome classic paper to achieve the finest photographic prints possible.

Ilfochrome prints offer the maximum in depth, colour purity and organic beauty unlike any other printing process. No digital imaging was used in the creation of these prints. Each image is mounted on aluminum and is signed and numbered by the artist along with a certificate of authenticity.

What is an Ilfochrome? (formerly known as Cibachrome)
This extraordinary medium was developed in the 1960`s by the Swiss company Ciba-Geigy to produce the highest quality photographic prints possible from colour slides. With the advent of cheaper digital technology however, Ilfochrome printing has declined significantly worldwide. It is now reserved to traditional photographic purists who continue to work with the material for various personal and aesthetic reasons.

Unsurpassed Beauty
Due to the Azo dyes incorporated into the paper emulsion Ilfochrome prints emit a life like appearance unlike any other modern day photographic paper. Azo dyes are legendary for their incredible saturated colour, sharpness, archival stability and iridescent three-dimensional realism unmatched in photographic art.

Ilfochrome is Archival
Ilfochrome has been commercially available since 1963 and has proven itself as the medium of choice for museums, art galleries and discerning collectors of colour fine art photography worldwide.

Limited Edition
All photographs are limited to a 25 edition only and no more will be produced once this number has been reached. Each photograph comes mounted on aluminum to retain its mirror like quality once framed and comes complete with a Certificate of Authenticity.

Each Ilfochrome is hand printed without the use of a computer using conventional darkroom methods to create unique, one of a kind art pieces for investment and personal value.
