Choosing a Fine Art Photography Paper

May 15, 2023  |  Melbourne, Australia

Printing our landscape and nature photographs can bring a lot of joy and can provide tremendous opportunities for making money from your artwork. There's a lot to decipher before you start. What paper do you use? How do you calibrate your monitor? Why are my prints so dark?

Fortunately, resources exist to make this process easier for you to figure out.

Choosing a Fine Art Paper for Landscape and Nature Photography - A Conversation with Les Walkling on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast.

As such, I was excited to record this week's podcast! On today's episode, I sat down with the legendary Australian print-maker and fine art educator, Les Walkling. Dr. Walkling has devoted his life to the arts, and taught contemporary fine art photography and history at RMIT University for many years. He is perhaps more well-known in the landscape photography community for his excellent YouTube videos that compare and contrast various fine art papers for printing. On today's podcast we talk about his research, how to evaluate and choose a fine art paper, and tips for monitor calibration.
