When Paul Caffell photographer established 31 Studio in 1988 it was the first dedicated platinum print workshop to be set up in England. Caffell recovered a photographic process that had been hugely important at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th centuries, but which had gone into decline and seemingly been forgotten by the 1920's.
31 Studio has become the foremost specialist in hand-crafted Platinum - Palladium prints, earning a worldwide reputation. The studio performs an important role for the history of photography, restoring to our attention some of it's greatest images, and working with the greatest skill and delicacy on precious and sometimes damaged negatives.
