Process:
Late Afternoon was captured digitally with a Nikon Z7 Mirrorless Camera. It was then post-processed in Adobe Lightroom Classic and Adobe Photoshop with the intent of giving it a pictorialist look, emulating some of the early pictorialist photographers such as Leonard Misonne.

A digital negative was then made of the image. The negative was then contact printed on paper hand-coated with an emulsion of platinum and palladium. It was then exposed to ultraviolet light in a UV exposure box, for a predetermined period of time. Then it was placed in a developer to bring out the latent image left on the paper after exposure.
