Photo Direct invites specialist photo retailers, pro labs and camera club members attending this year’s Digital Show to discover more about the award-winning, Fotospeed range of new roll media and cut sheet packs.
Fotospeed is the paper of choice amongst those who value emulsion performance, feel, weight, longevity and above all, image quality. But don’t just take our word for it, read these testimonials:
“Landscape photography is much about discovery and photographers can only fully relish the rewards of their efforts when seen in the form of a print. The paper used for that print has to be as carefully considered as the image made. Paper technology changes with time and ongoing advances mean that photographers need to look regularly at their paper choice, rather than automatically playing safe with an old favourite. Discovering Platinum Etching 285 has been a revelation to me and has proved a vital tool in my ongoing quest to match pre-visualisation with end result.” – Charlie Waite talking about Platinum Etching
“I aim to crystalise the endlessly varied light, colours and texture of nature in my landscape photographs. At the end of a chain of photographic processes, the print is the culmination and fulfilment of that effort and the paper is critical to the success of the print. Fotospeed’s Smooth Cotton 300 is my paper of choice.” – Joe Cornish speaking about Smooth Cotton
