Platinum/Palladium Over Gold Leaf

Burkholder pioneered the platinum over gold leaf photographic technique in 2007. Platinum/palladium is hand-coated on vellum and exposed using a digital negative under UV light and developed using classic darkroom methods. Gold leaf is applied to the back of the finished vellum print and coated with archival varnish to create a translucent surface.

​Some prints are gilded with both gold leaf and palladium leaf, producing a split-tone effect. The handcrafted platinum over gold leaf prints are presented in editions of 9 and available in two sizes.
