A monochrome photographer and printer, I discovered lith printing a few years ago at a talk given by Tim Rudman. Cue large-scale purchase of selenium toner - Delphiniums is a multi-coloured selenium toned lith.

I make lith prints because they are so beautiful. Warm, creamy highlights and rich, dark shadows create such mysterious picutres. I particularly love the old emulsion Kentmere Kentona paper which gives beautiful reds and pinks in mature developer. Tewkesbury Tomb is an example of an exquisite plaster pink from this paper.

Kentmere produces most of my favourite papers: Art Classic and Kentona in particular, but I also use Paterson Acugrade Warmtone.
