"Having worked closely and built a relationship with the printers at Spectrum over the years, we speak the same language. They understand the look I am trying to achieve and I know they will get the best results from my images using the latest technology and their years of experience. Now that my files are archived at Spectrum my galleries can order prints while I'm shooting on location, and they'll be waiting for signing on return from my assignment."  Simon usually shoots 5x4" film, then scans and prints digitally on C-Type photographic papers, but has made the change to a Phase One digital camera and has chosen to print Giclee on our state of the art Epson 9900 for the first time in his career. He worked one to one with our printer using our Supervised Master Printing service ensuring the best results, before we mounted them to Dibond ready to be framed. In October 2010, Simon Norfolk began a series of new photographs in Afghanistan, which takes its cue from the work of nineteenth-century British photographer John Burke. Norfolk's photographs reimagine or respond to Burke's Afghan war scenes in the context of the contemporary conflict. Conceived as a collaborative project with Burke across time, this new body of work is presented alongside Burke's original portfolios. The exhibition takes place in conjunction with an earlier complementary exhibition in March 2011 at the Queen's Palace in the Baghe Babur garden in Kabul, supported by The World Collections Programme and the Aga Khan Trust for Culture, which resulted from a series of workshops with Afghan photographers, featuring work by Fardin Waezi and Burke alongside Norfolk's own work. |
