Photograph of the week!

On my fan page "Angela Russo Fine Art Photography", I have posted a new photograph of the week of one of my favorite places in the world: Provincetown, MA. The postings have been well received and show my diverse range of work. I print my images on 4 different pigment printers up to 60" in width, all of which are 12 color. That is CMYK and RGB all in one printer! Very many other companies try to duplicate the quality of this with inaccurate, or enhanced color output. Twelve color affords me the luxury of producing superior black and white, and also incredible color images with no "manufactured color" as in the principles of HDR printing. In that printing process the addition of green and orange supposedly take the place of natural tonality, particularly in skin tone rendition which I do not think is true. I think there is a definite "blue" or "cold" surreal cast, and a somewhat unnatural tonality attributed to this rather enhanced and odd combination of colors. It reminds me of the latest trend toward 3-D. It is interesting to view, but the glasses are somewhat uncomfortable. In reference to HDR: it is interesting to view, but the color is somewhat surreal, however the dynamic range is different. At the end of the day, it is personal preference that takes over, but I am a stickler for accuracy when it is expected.
