Really Bill? That could explain the similarity - why do you know that?

I know both, but have not been in contact with Rolfe for some time now. If you can't tell from his work, Rolfe used to work for Michael. He may still do the Website, I am not sure.

Several other really good shooters have worked for Michael. William Scott and Jason Langer come to mind. Both very good in their own right like Rolfe.

Whow that is a complicated and expensive way to get your prints, but maybe it would be hard or impossible to get those results in a conventional way.

I knew David back in the mid 90's and, iirc, he used to contact print platinum and moved to his current workflow for the improved control and repeatability it gave him over the finished print.

The thing is Kenna's style is very distinctive and is HIS. The use of a similar style is immediately noted and commented on. I personally quite like his work but find something insubstantial about it.....sometimes I feel I should love it but cant. I am happy to know how he does it without trying it myself. He has absolutely nailed that style to the point of trademark!

Gotta admit when a person has a style so distinctive, whether you love it or not, you have to admire it!

Seeing Kenna's prints in 'real life' is a treat. I have a couple of his editioned books. Just marvelous images.

The other links too are ones to more fantastic photographers. I was just introduced to Rolfe Horn's work a few weeks ago, literally. Have I missed out all those years!

This thread has some really nice links. Keep'em coming.

Regards, Art.

If you like Kenna and Horn you definitely should try Hoflehner's books, those are perfectly printed and a small edition only:

http://www.josefhoflehner.com/publications.html

I got most of them and love them - and they are of they same high level like Kenna's books.
