Permanent Platino type |
|||||||||
This beautiful process produces a picture finer than any engraving and lends itself to the finishing process in black and white in a way no other process in photography does. When nicely printed and artistically finished, it is far superior to the ordinary silver print and much softer in tone and altogether more effective. In addition, it has the advantage of being absolutely permanent. It will not fade in the slightest even if kept always in the glare of the brightest sunlight; the picture will last unfaded as long as the paper on which it is printed
|
|||||||||
Opals |
|||||||||
This is a process of producing photographic pictures on the finest white china. Ordinarily silver prints are supported on paper and cardboard; and the slightest impurity in either paper or cardboard or exposure to damp etc. causes them to fade. With a basis of china and nothing to absorb moisture from the atmosphere, the chance of fading is reduced to a minimum The picture is therefore practically permanent one. It possesses great beauty and is characterized by its vigour and softness. Opals form very pretty ornaments for the table or a bracket. Opals can be finished in black and white or in water colours. Miniature painting on opals gives a better and purer effect than on ivory. For this class of work we have a special artist, and those who like coloured or tinted photographs are sure to be satisfied with the result.

Opalines | |||||||||
This
is a style of mounting portraits and landscapes which we are now introducing
to the Indian public. Ordinary silver prints are mounted on the best clear
glass with plain or gilt bevelled edges. The prints being in optical contact
with the glass, the effects are to add much to the brilliancy of the picture,
to bring out the detail of the photograph with great clearness and to
render the print more permanent. The photograph is also much better preserved
from dust and moisture, by the glass in front of it.

Silver
Prints |
|||||||||
This process is the every-day mode of photography. We print the photograph on the best paper we can obtain; the prints are finished and spotted by competent artists, and everything is done to secure a pleasing and artistic picture. These pictures are more liable to fade in the course of years than platinotype prints, but as we use the finest chemicals and thoroughly superintend the various processes, we can recommend our silver prints to be as endurable as those obtainable anywhere else. They are perfectly reliable for all practical purposes as long as they are protected from moisture.

Enlargements | |||||||||
With
our large cameras we are prepared to supply portraits direct from life
either on platinotype or silver paper or as opals or opalines upto the
size of 15” X 12”. For those who like larger pictures or wish a smaller
portrait enlarged, we can make enlargements in permanent bromide upto
life-size. These enlargements can be made from any negative of our own
or supplied by the customer or from an old print, no matter how small
or faded it may be.

|||||||||
Collotype | |||||||||
This
is a process by which large numbers of photographs can be reproduced cheaply
and quickly. Portrait, landscape or building – any photograph can by this
process be duplicated, and thousands of them (if necessary) printed. Such
copies are far superior to those produced by any other half tone process;
the details are beautifully rendered, and when varnished, the prints are
equal to an ordinary albuminized print.

Hints to Sitters |
|||||||||
A portrait may be both artistically and technically first rate, and yet entirely fail to give satisfaction to the sitter. To be a really successful picture, the sitter's happiest expression must be caught. This depends almost entirely on the sitter and the mood he happens to be in at the moment. The pose, dress, accessories are more easily under control, and we venture to offer a few suggestions to our Patrons, which we hope they will accept in good part, and we in return will do our best to give them pictures they will be really pleased with. Our operator is a highly-paid and skilful artist, who has had great experience, and sitters will study their own interest by placing themselves in his hands. But if sitters prefer to pose themselves, and to take the full direction of the sitting, we shall certainly do our best to please them and ensure a good result, and in some rare cases a good result will be obtained. Sitters can do a great deal towards securing success. When practicable it is desirable to make an appointment beforehand. And a day should be chosen when plenty of time is available. This will avoid any sense of unrest on the sitter's part, and enable the operator to perform his duty leisurely and at ease, which often results in saving time. On arriving at the studio any preference as to dress, pose, or accessories should be mentioned to the operator, who will afford every assistance in carrying out any wish, and will give the benefit of his experience and make suitable suggestions. The weather need not be considered; rainy or cloudy weather will not prevent our obtaining good pictures. |

Babies And Children | |||||||||
Babies and children are subjects that require patience, care and attention to obtain a photograph that is both a pleasing picture and a true likeness. Our studio is so arranged that the strongest light can be thrown upon the sitter and that without causing any heavy shadow. We have the latest improvements in photographic apparatus, and with a skilled operator and instantaneous plates we secure good results with the shortest possible exposures. Although babies and children often occasion much trouble and require a large number of plates, we make no extra charge. |
