Fritz Liedtke

Hand-printed by the artist Fritz Liedtke, a select few of her limited edition set of photogravures
I chose Fritz originally because I was so drawn into the stunning images and highlighted features and details of the subject's faces. After I read into her I am very much interested in experiencing this process of alternative printing so I'm able to make beautiful portraits while also detaching myself from the retouching technology I use often, and really appreciating each print for it's one of a kind blemishes/"beauty marks"

"While many people view freckles as an aberration or blemish, my response is the opposite. I find them enchanting, unique, even exotic. More than once, while photographing for this series, a model thanked me for making something beautiful out of what they often viewed as a flaw." -Fritz
