My latest booklet “Rive Gauche” is available as a standard edition and a special edition with a selenium-toned silver gelatin print: “Musée d’Orsay, 2022” (pictured above). While all of the photographs in the book are portrait orientation, the special edition print—a ‘bonus’ image from the series—is in fact in landscape orientation, available only in an edition of just 60: www.kityoung.co.uk/rive-gauche-special-edition

 

"Kit Young’s series Rive Gauche is an ode to Paris that unreservedly encapsulates the feeling of being in that city. Even if you’ve never been, you’ll instantly be transported to a little café, watching passersby scurrying about their day.

 

Much like his predecessors André Kertész and Louis Stettner, Kit Young is a guest to Paris, invited in, time and again, to effortlessly capture the subtle glints of light and life that the city provides..."

Again a lith print was used as a template for a Kallitype in order to achieve a grainy result.

On the way back home I stopped at Rocky Mountain National Park. It was still winter up there last May. I got a few shots before the snowstorm began in earnest and chased me out of the high country. I don't post too many heavily manipulated images, but I liked this monochrome in selenium tone... there wasn't much drama in the color version. Somewhere in my archives I have a slide of Longs Peak in color that looks quite a bit like this...

 

Longs Peak rises to 14,259 feet (4,346 m) above sea level, the only fourteener in Rocky Mountain National Park.

My hardy wine plant produces lots of 2 m (+) long branches every year and multiple bunches with small grapes. The wine leafs are beautiful, but the grapes not so tasty (sour and contain a lot of seeds).

The same procedure as the previous one with additional Iron toning.

I toned the original print in selenium toner diluted @ 1:200 for about 2 minutes. It's not easy to see on screen, but the print has bleached slightly, the contrast has reduced a little, and the tone has become less red. I like the colour.

In this series the emphasis will be more on architectural shots and combining this with long exposures.

 

Some may question if this is architecture, I think it is, anyway it is man built.

This one is dedicated to one of my Flickr friends Joshua Wyborn. Although only being 17 he's already shown a high level of depth and maturity in his work that other more experienced B&W photographers can only dream of. His understanding of light, contrasts, tonality, mood and all of the finer skills in B&W photography is amazing for someone his age. My word, the world will hear more of him in the years to come. So check out his work.
