Seagulls on the beach - Choco Colombia Photography by Plinio Carvajal
"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

I was born in Palmira, Colombia, in 1945, and raised in Cali, Colombia. I have been based in this town for many years now.
I began taking pictures in 1954, at the age of nine. At the beginning I was inspired by my family surroundings; my father encouraged me to observe and photograph landscape during family vacation rides.
Starting in 1962 I lived a few years in Los Angeles, California, studying Photography and Fine Arts; latter I lived also in Montreal, Canada. These experiences gave me the opportunity to travel, photographing landscapes on film in some National Parks.
In 1968, I started working free-lance for several local advertising agencies and multinational companies in Colombia for a period of 15 years, doing professional photography for advertising, packaging and calendars, as well as professional film making for advertising.
This last experience developed my discipline to a tight composition. At the same time in 1971, I started making medium-format (2¼" X 2¼") photography with Hasselblad cameras on color negative film in order to have total control over the image in my specialized darkroom.
Having gathered much useful knowledge up to this point, I felt free to begin my artistic visual expression trough natural light color photography. Hence I traveled throughout most Colombian regions, away from big cities, searching for those magical moments with faultless natural environment light, in order to capture precious images of nature -and occasionally of the locals- through a warm and poetic vision, which makes each work unique. It is from this time up that I took the pictures I offer now restored.
In 2000 I started digitalizing my negatives and also published my first website. For some time now I have been fully committed to recovering and restoring the best images taken at that time, which I hold in my extensive archive. Additionally, digitally manipulating them so that they acquire a novel visual form resembling impressionist painting.
