Ep. 10: Jan Schlegel — Life, Travel & Platinum

“Good photography strikes the heart of the beholder and leaves him changed.” — Irving Penn

Jan Schlegel often quotes the statement above, and the sentiment is at the heart of his work. Jan is a master photographer and printer whose extended travels over decades as a photographer have led to series of art prints which capture the essence of people and animals in remarkable ways. He has spent literally years perfecting each process in his repertoire, from silver gelatin to platinum to salt printing.
