Frozen Moments

Richard C. Miller

0/5 ( ratings)

Carbro printing, now regarded as arcane and one of the many "obsolete" color photographic processes, remains one of the great examples of natural color photography. This book attempts to broaden the appreciation of the beauty and understanding of the mechanics of this extraordinary process through the work of photographer and master printer, Richard C. Miller. The images are moments frozen in time and permanently captured in pigment prints. This implies both the magical moment that the photographer snapped his vision and the more mundane fact that pigment prints preserve that moment permanently. The photographs included are both commercial projects as well as those images that Dick made for himself. The texts of the book include the history, description and making of the carbro print. This representation displays the steps involved, including the three negatives, resulting bromide prints, the pigment papers, combined layers, mirror image and a final print. The two pages of small "centerfold" images represent a variety of types of material, including magazine covers which resulted from carbro submissions, or the images Dick made into carbro prints. In addition, there is also a chronological biography of Richard C. Miller, a description by Dick of the fine points of the process, and finally, notes on the individual images.

All of Richard C. Miller s carbro prints displayed at the J. Paul Getty Museum exhibition of Paul Outerbridge, Command Performance, from 31 March 2009 until 9 August 2009 have been represented in Frozen Moments.
