Silvio Maraini Photographs

The landscape photographs presented here were made with medium and large format cameras. For a couple of years I have almost exclusively used my Phillips Compact II 8x10 camera for landscape photography. This camera, combined with Rodenstock and Schneider lenses, delivers 8x10 negatives of exceptional sharpness and a large tonal range. For the panorama photographs I use a split darkslide to get two 4x10 exposures on one 8x10 sheet. I use Ilford HP5 plus or Adox sheet film, developed in Pyrocat developer. The prints are made with a Durst Laborator enlarger on Forte warmtone fiber base paper. All prints are toned for permanence with selenium toner.
