Waltzing the Arctic
Arctic
visions as fine art: Photographer Ragnar Th. Sigurdsson captures
the essence of the arctic and the lure of the north in one-of-a-kind
quality prints for sale in limited numbers.
Far from the standard arctic photos, his work portrays the wilderness,
the people, the Northern lights and the warmth of the North in a
fascinating way.

Each
of Ragnars prints starts with the original transparency as created
in the camera, with Mamyia RZ67, Mamiya 7, Fuji GSW690III, Noblex
6x12cm panoramic or Cambo wide cameras with variety of lenses.
To insure the highest quality scan each transparency is scanned
at high optical resolutions using a Scitex, Ever Smart Supreme
scanner to capture every detail and nuance.
After the scan is done, the digital image is loaded into high-end
Macintosh workstation with a calibrated monitor to retouch all
artifacts (dust and traditional flaws) and to do any
fine tune, color adjustment in Adobe Photoshop.
When Ragnar is satisfied with the image on the monitor the digital
file is exported to a Cymbolic Sciences Lightjet 5000 digital
enlarger. The image is then exposed onto Fuji Crystal Archive
color paper using red, green and blue lasers. The result is an
exquisite archive quality print with a clarity and color gamut
that, until recently, has not been available to the photographer.
The archival quality of this photographic medium is phenomenal.
Your limited edition print will have deep rich colors and incredible
sharpness that will not fade or dull at all in 60 to 70+ years.
Crystal Archive has a beautiful glossy finish that makes a stunning
finished product.
Each print is signed by Ragnar Th.
