One-of-a-Kind

Deep Roots follows the successful 21-year run of the press that was modeled on and followed “In Steiglitz’s Footsteps” (Leisure & Arts, Wall Street Journal, 1.28.99). This grand and monumental creation pays homage to wet collodion one of the earliest photographic processes (1853) and one that hasn’t changed since. It is a celebration of collaboration at its highest level, involving 15 artisans and countless hours of hand worked procedures.
