First lith prints — be kind

Lucy Vaughan·60d ago
Finally cracked lith printing after three failed sessions. Sharing four prints from the Usk valley series. The peachy highlights are addictive. Open to all feedback, including harsh.

The second one is stunning. That split between the warm highlights and cold shadows is exactly what lith does best. What paper?

These are lovely. The grain structure in the third is doing a lot of work. Frame that one.

Great first go. If you want even more drama, try snatching them from the developer a touch earlier and watch the blacks build in the fix.

These are genuinely lovely for a first session — the second one has that peachy highlight/gritty shadow split people chase for years. Next time try snatching 15 seconds earlier on the portrait; the face is just starting to block up.
