Shira Gold

I'd like to see her prints....I wonder if they'll get to the SW... online they appear fascinating. Her work appears to advance printing over clicking and marketing over fine-art photo galleries. Anybody seen the prints or know her in Vancouver?

Her work doesn't seem to be small-scale enough to work well online and appears that she is not interested in conventional website presence.

I think "tactile" is the word for which Shira Gold was looking. Certainly digital files can make fabulous prints but digital images (every photo we see online) can't come close to good inkjet prints,(tactile) even when we like what we think we see online.

Her video of moving print-head movement depicts the reality many of use experience when we graduate from optical images to inkjet print images. In my experience I sometimes have to fiddle with printer adjustments even when I think I've come close on my monitor.

I have seen her underwater work, but only on a computer screen.

Just curious...were you aware that she exhibited big prints somewhere in Canada?

My awareness extends only to what I have seen through the internet. She certainly has been published frequently.
Her website indicates that she does exhibit publicly. Here is the Contact Page: https://www.shiragold.com/Contact/1/caption

of possible interest, these are apparently inkjet prints...

...as a dedicated inkjetter I will report that black backgrounds can be exceptional on luster/lustre paper (such as Canon's own Pro Luster or Simply Elegant's Gold Fiber) HOWEVER that photo decision uses-up black pigment at an astounding rate...the biggest disadvantage to inkjet.

The economical big print alternatives (since Ciba's demise) are digital (non-inkjet) printing by somebody (Kodak itself?) using Kodak's new process OR to avoid black backgrounds.

OR for original photography to avoid black or other mono-color backgrounds, as Shira Gold has done in other images.
