Tillman Crane
Tillman Crane is a photographer dedicated to the creation of platinum prints using large format cameras. Professionally involved in photography for over thirty years, he divides his time between shooting new images, working in his darkroom, teaching his craft and creating limited edition books of his images.
Photographs are made one negative in the camera at a time, one print at a time, using a 19th century process. A variety of bellows cameras and historic lenses are his tools in the field. He brings his vision of subject and light to life through his mastery of the platinum print process. With this hand-mixed, hand-coated process, small changes occur with each print and therefore no two are exactly alike. Each photograph is to be treasured as a beautiful monograph.
Tillman has published four books of his images. He also creates one-of-a-kind books of selected platinum prints for the discriminating collector. These images are printed on fine watercolor paper and then gathered and sewn into a unique book.
He is a sought after teacher throughout the U.S. and U.K. for his fully committed, yet easy going, workshops that push and inspire his students. In addition, he is available for individual tutorials.
The Tillman Crane Gallery is located in Camden, Maine where he lives with his family. For further information visit: www.tillmancrane.com.
