VIDEO DESCRIPTION:
Here’s another one of them “Making a Fine Art Photography Print” videos I like to do. But you know what I don’t like? The term “fine art.” Lemme grab my ascot and pipe because I be getting all sorts of pretentious dropping “fine art” to describe my own work. “Oh, this photo I took? Yes, it’s art…FINE art.” Bleh. Yuck. But what am I supposed to do, call it “average art”? You can see the dilemma I’m in here.
Whatever you want to call it, I love making framed prints. It’s the best. I don’t get a chance to do it very often, so when I do get the chance, you bet your ass I’m going to make a video about it. And this one’s extra fantastic because I actually made TWO fine art prints this time. Huh? What? No, can’t be. TWO? That’s more than any one photographer can handle. It’s impossible.
I’m telling the truth, friends…TWO PRINTS. And you know what’s even better? One of them is a pigment print on Hahnemühle photo rag paper while the other is a c-type print on Fuji Crystal Archive Pearl Paper. So we’re going to look at how these bad boys compare. Two different printing technologies, two different papers, one 6x17 negative on Kodak Portra 160 film.
Let’s dive into it.

SUPER IMPORTANT UPDATE. I lowered the monitors an inch and raised the print an inch and a half. I can now see the whole thing when I'm sitting at my desk. Crisis averted.
Thank goodness. That was eating my brain.
I could see that coming!
Yep. First thing I wanted to shout was “Too low!”
Thank god, I was talking to you saying 'it's too low!' Love it though man!
I can sleep tonight thank you
No yelling/fast talking, crazy edits, text everywhere and yet this is an extremely entertaining video. Love your work Nick. One day I will have one of your prints hanging on my wall. Keep it up 🤘🏽
Thank you! I may be a little too slow-paced and dry for some folks, but I'm glad a few people are cool with my video styling.
@@nickcarverphoto Not dry at all and so funny that the hardest part was hanging the dang thing!
Never change! Your style is wonderful.
Wow, I had no idea how many steps there are in the film-to-print process! I love seeing how things are made so this was really fascinating!
Was not expecting to laugh out loud at a woodworking saw joke coming into this video.
Awesome work!
When I yell "HARBOR" you yell "_________"
two of my favorite folder collection in youtube, one is called ''photography'' where i add photography videos, and another folder called ''funny'', i usually add your videos to both 😂😂👍👍
Just a normal guy making prints that you just want to look and stare at. It makes you feel that what you are doing is exactly what you should be doing. Love it man, great job!
The amount of knowledge you just casually drop makes my head hurt. God I’m impressed by you.
I noticed some Polaroids on your desk in this video. I don't know if you'd find this interesting or not Nick but last week, while going through a box of old photos I came across one I'd taken with the original Polaroid SX-70 at their introduction/training event in LA making that photo (I believe) 50 years old this year. Polaroid had set up different subjects to shoot. I picked a bowl of fruit and some beaded jewelry. The fruit image showed colors that are still saturated with brilliant yellows and reds with deep blacks.
Would love to see a scan of that polaroid. Would be cool if you upload it to a photo sharing site for us to see!
Brilliant. My self I like the way gloss paper makes the colours look
I appreciate the good info you give Nick - I enjoy seeing how much skill you have acquired in your life and have gained much from watching you.
I respect so much that you share it this way rather than as advertisement or as a "25 film tips to make you a professional photographer" or in other words... your videos have as much character as your photography does.
cheers to you and what you do! - you are an inspiration sir & I wish to at some point buy a print from you too.
I also enjoy all the drink recommendations you give!
Thank you very much for the kind words. The lack of "25 film tips" videos may be to the detriment of my channel's growth, but I'm quite happy to hear some viewers appreciate my aversion to that style of YouTubing.
I made a book a few years ago with a bunch of images I took in three days and it's one of my favorite projects. The images were fun to take (if you want enough photos to fill a book in three days you have to abandon any sense of perfectionism) and the book was really satisfying to put together.
Your Bauer joke sealed the subscription. Very nice info too. Love the subject.
My God, the technical value of this videos documenting of the many processes, is exactly my thing.
👏 💯
Hey Chris
I love watching your videos on my TV. When you display the print image you should use a 15% gray background instead of white to better see the image.
Even though the white border is not that prominent it can impact the way your eye sees color.
When viewing images, it’s always best to look at them against a neutral gray background.
Thx Nick.
Haha man some people are just made to be in front of the camera. You got the gift. Sick print too. 👌🏻
I'm old enough (70) to remember when Kornelius started to pin his panorama's to the store's walls. I saw his printing business grow and grow. His shop is still there while dozens of others in OC bit the dust. I think his store must be coming up on it's silver anniversary soon.
As a person who just had twins in December 2022, I appreciate the *cough* analogy *clears throat*. Thanks for the entertainment today. I was thinking about this photo over the weekend, and now another video of yours featuring this photo. I'm all about this photo. I watched the video of you taking it, and I've still got questions. Thank you.
Thank you. And congratulations on the new additions!
Not only did I learn a ton, but your personality really comes through in these videos in a way I feel like it didn't used to. Thank you!
i can't believe that every time you pint one of your photos to hang on your walls, i get just as much excited as you, IF NOT MORE.
unbelievable
tnx for the great videos man you have no idea what you mean to us around the world
Please make a book! Wonderful shot in every way.
I would absolutely adore a Nick Carver photo book!!!!!!
Beautiful print mate, looks great on the wall. I'm sure we'd all be on board if you put out a book!
Right.
Excellent. A perfect blend of art and entertainment.
WOW. I'll stick with your last comment, “ Go get yourself some prints... you need it and you don't even know it..“ You make me remember why I chose to be a photographer.. I fully agree with Joshua Rhea's comment about it's a good day. Saludos desde Mexico City.
I love these printing and framing videos.
Congrats on 100K subs 🎉
Damn this looks amazing! Never saw your youtube channel before and now instantly fell in love with your work. Keep it up man!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this process!
Laughed my way through this video, needed to replay it to actually learn something. time enjoyed wasted is not wasted time.
Great vid Nick. Your enthusiasm and knowledge shine through. Both those prints look amazing and really capture something both simple and complex at the same moment. Thanks for uploading this.
I love that photo! I prefer the matte finish too.
You've got a lovely studio. I caught a glimpse of some oranges in the background in one shot. That's really cool that you have your own mature fruit trees.
Thanks! And yeah that tree is older than me. Makes for fantastic orange juice.
BEAUTIFUL! Really love that photo. ❤
Love that intro! 😂
Wow ❤️ amazing, both you and winner 👍 awesome story and cool story... Massive respect to both of you 😀
Beau travail photographique et d'encadrement, superbe!!!
prints are where they are at!!! never did digi my whole life but now that I can do digi negs and make darkroom prints...I AM ALL IN...got to love prints!! Thanks for sharing.
I definitely need to print my stuff out. Your vids are inspiring to get my act together thank you!
Love how you turned what could be a very dull topic into a fun, entertaining and informative video. Nice work man
Thanks for sharing. I learned about printing. Bonus, I remember the video when you made that photo so this finished the story for me.
Always a good day when you post. I totally agree with you about printing. Blessed to have a bessler 45 beast of an enlightener chilling in the basement
Thanks for showing us your process and thoughts about. I learned a lot. Keep them coming. Love the print also.
I am always inspired watching your videos. The print looks awesome!
You just gave us a clinic, Nick. Outstanding... and the French "Je ne sais quoi" aptly descibes that indescribable feeling you captured near video’s end, however briefly it remains. As good as the original video was when you shot the image, this was icing on the cake. Thank you.
Very very enjoyable video Nick -it’s your fault I’m going to perches your model 6x17 camera you have taken many great photos but the other one in your office is my favourite.
Excellent video Nick! I love seeing your process. Thanks for the video.-super funny too as always!
This image along with " The Liquor Store " are my favourite Nick Carver's photographs.
I just so connected to what you’re saying at the end of the video, seeing a print of your own work is just satisfying. It is so satisfying I invested a 44inch pigment printer at home. And just sharing my prints with my friends. My work is just not meet the standards to sell😂 but still, just so satisfying. Love your work! Another great frame 🖼️
Absolutely love these photo to print to hanging on the wall videos. Useful, informative and entertaining segment and an absolutely Gorgeous photograph and Sumptuous print. Beautifully done.
CZcams gets me. New Nick Carver video? Top of the list in the app. “Why, yes, CZcams, I do in fact want to watch this video before finishing that Thomas Heston video. Thanks for asking.”
One of my VERY favorite recent images/ prints from you. Absolutely stunning.
My favorite standup :D
Beautiful...just beautiful...
Beautiful! Love the image, love the framing. This is where great images belong.
Love your art and your energy Nick. Keep it comin man!
Lovely work Nick. That image, printed, is (makes that French-style 2 finger kiss thing) sweet. I second what you say about getting prints made - it's the ultimate proof of the pudding, and so damn satisfying to see your best work writ large.
Love the expertise! You are a artist
Said it a million times, but this is my favourite channel. Never stop!
I love seeing my images printed too. I recently bought a Canon pro 200 to start printing my images, that's gonna get interesting (and expensive). I always appreciate you videos, thanks for making them.
That's a gorgeous print Nick, Love the image, the process and the video, top stuff!
Phenomenal print. That turned out unbelievably well. You got a mighty fine eye Nick!
I love your videos man. And, your work is phenomenal. Keep it flowing.
Excellent choice! Love that image.
Great job Nick!
Nick, this is my Saturday morning routine: turn on my capuchino machine make me a Latte, sit down in front of my computer and watch your video, weekend accomplished! Thanks.
I have the same problem with too many photos and a few walls... My plan is to print 4 of my super favorites photos, hang one on the wall, and then when the next season comes, I will take down the print, and store it, put the next print on the wall. Then every season I'll have something different on the wall. (BTW, those 2 photos in this video are my favorites)
Really inspired! No words
Love it Nick, great job!

Beautiful!
Fantastic video Nick and always learn something from you.
beautiful work! really enjoyed to see the process behind it.
Love the print videos.
A great photo and a great lesson
every time i see one of your vids about printing i'm telling myself that now is the right time to finally install my printer. NOW really is the time though. :D
Always the best! Beautiful. Cheers.
As soon as I get moved and have the appropriate space, I am ordering that print. Hands down my favorite piece!
Looks fabulous and three dimensional. Thank you for sharing.
Good entertaining story Nick. Enjoyed the journey, and agree 100% with you on the intrinsic value of a print.
Ah, the satisfaction of seeing that final piece. Awesome!
Thanks for that great tip on applying the lustre lamination. I love pearl paper, yet really hate the glare that can distract from the viewing experience.
Don't think I've ever clicked off video so fast to watch yours sir. Keep up the good work!
that is an amazing looking print! love it
Great video! Love the commentary! Entertaining!
Pro tip (framer here): put a D-ring on each side of a wide frame like that and skip the wire. Then put two hooks in the wall, spaced apart the same as the D-rings, and it will never tilt or shift on you. Always perfect! You did a nice job cutting down that frame. I have a V-nailer if you need to borrow it. :)
100% agree with you about making prints, it is my favorite part of the process too - I can loose days in the darkroom working on just one or two large prints. Phones and computer screens are awesome of course but nothing like a massive physical print!
Excellent 👍😀
There’s a tee shirt logo there..
“ make Prints” 😅
Love the video and love that process for the big boy. Cracking job. I've been wondering about that framing method for ages now! I'll probably forget again by the time I get around to printing a photo though.
Watched that while print prepping and I could not agree more. Make prints of your work!
Although I don't get to do it that often, that is what I like about painting you get the physical object in your hand/on the wall at the end.
Love it!!
This was so informative! Thank you
I loved that photo the moment I saw it on the other video! I haven't printed in like a year, nothing like it!
Nice surrealistic look with these hoppers in the sky 😊
Amazing skill with an artistic eye.
Great print Nick!! Thanks for the video.
Great video Nick. Informative and entertaining. Love your work Sir.
Excellent stuff - thanks
That print is wicked cool! It looks like a piece of art deco furniture.
Great video with a lot of helpful information. Inspired me to make some prints with my 6x9 negatives using your scan to print techniques. cheers
Beautiful print Nick
Impecable, gracias !
I went on a road trip across the US with my brother (Miami to Seattle). I got a 4X6 photoalubum made up and it's one of my prized possessions. Seeing you do a proper book would be amazing
