Looking for England - Don McCullin (2019)

Sir Donald McCullin, CBE, Hon FRPS (born 9 October 1935), is a British photographer... the video (link here) runs just under one hour and I found it an interesting look behind the curtain... revisiting locations around England, telling stories, working in the darkroom, and of course taking photographs using (for the most part) medium format film... what looks like a Canon 5D also gets some play...





Enjoy,
Casey

... how he prints his B&W digital images. We see him shooting film and printing in the darkroom. But unsure how his digital prints are made.

I could not find any reference to digital printing on the Canon UK site (or elsewhere)... We do know that McCullin shot the 2017 "Kolkata" project with a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV ( documentary link ). In general there are at least two commonly used ways to pr...
