Platinum Palladium Prints

35+ years documenting vanishing cultures across Mexico. Eight years. 56,000 miles. 300,000+ images.

Hand-coated with precious metals using an 1873 patented process, watercolor toned by Suzanne Birrell.

Each print lasts possibly a thousand years or longer—if the paper survives, the image never fades or discolors. Theoretically forever.

The Alchemy of Permanence

Unlike everyday prints born from inks and dyes, platinum palladium prints are a testament to permanence. Platinum and palladium—metals more precious than gold—are embedded directly into the fibers of 100% cotton Arches Platine paper.

There are no dye-based inks to fade, no chemicals to react with the environment. Only lightfast, pure mineral-based colorfast pigments and noble precious metals.

Each print is guaranteed for the artists' lifetime against fading or discoloration. Limited edition of one.
