Northern Light is a company specialising in the production of high quality photographic images and is based in Cambridgeshire. Rod Corston, the photographer, tends to favour Landscape Photography and his work reveals time spent in Yorkshire, Cumbria, Scotland, Newcastle on Tyne and the North Northumberland Coast.
Like so many other photographers, Rod began his career using only traditional 'wet techniques' and every photograph was hand-printed, to exacting standards in his own darkroom. However when faced with increased costs and the very real difficulty in obtaining 'traditional materials', he moved on to incorporate digital printing systems into his work.
Whilst he still uses film cameras, Rod supplements his film images with those shot on a Nikon digital SLR camera.
The advances in digital photography and printing have been nothing less than phenomenal in the last few years. However in the past, one major limitation of digital images was their poor resistance to light and their tendency to fade. Many images produced on ink-jet printers displayed good print quality, but were let down by their poor quality inks and printing paper. In fact, some of the best inks boasted a life span of only 5 years before noticeable fading set. All images supplied by Northern Light Photography are printed on Epson Heavyweight Matt Archival paper, using an Epson Stylus R1900 Printer. The inkset is Epson’s own UltraChrome Hi-GlossT (TM) pigment inks. These inks have been tested for colour permanence and are claimed to show no loss in quality for over 80 years.
