This page contains the following in this order:
Copyright info, Silver Gelatin Prints black and white, Color prints, plus Viewing and Preserving Photographs.
All Jenny Lens photos are Copyrighted: Photographs sold from the Jenny Lens Punk Archive, regardless where purchased — this site or other authentic affiliated sites or illegally obtained elsewhere — are intended for private and personal use ONLY. Reproduction and transmission is strictly prohibited. The Jenny Lens Punk Archive retains copyright and ownership of its intellectual property.
All prints are custom and printed upon receipt of payment. Jenny personally oversees the printings and signs and numbers the front and indicates info about the photo (who, where, when). This process take a minimum of 3 to 4 weeks for printing and delivery [unless rush charges added].
Silver Gelatin RC v. Fiber: Our black and white custom prints are created from the negatives, using an enlarger and silver gelatin emulsion paper, which can be fiber or RC (cheaper). RC or Resin-Coated photo paper is coated with polyethylene on both sides. All color prints using traditional lab chemicals are printed on RC Paper.
Collectors prefer fiber-based prints for black and white which costs more than RC. At this time, I use Ilford Multigrade Glossy (a semi-gloss/matte rather than high gloss surface on heavy photo paper).
Color: digitally printed Lightjet/Lamba/Durst using archival Kodak Metallic paper. Labs cannot print from slides at 16 x 20, hence they must be digital. Lightjet prints are considered amongst the best color printing available, resulting in deep, rich colors on the metallica paper.
Certificate of Authenticity: Jenny signs and numbers a certificate for each photo! The certificate includes the file name, description, and customer name for your records.
Viewing and Preserving Photographs:
Frame your print with a matte or spacer, between glass or a Plexiglass protective covering and your photograph. Do not put photograph directly under glass or Plexiglass or similar materials. Harsh light and direct sunlight will cause photographs, prints, textiles, watercolors and a variety of media to fade. UV-filtered materials are available to further protect your print from fading. Best to hang in indirect sunlight. If storing, purchase archival portfolios, photograph holders, boxes, etc. Research the net, art supply/office supply/photo supply vendors. Protect your purchase. Jenny Lens keeps all her photographic prints in locked archival containers.
These shots were taken under the worst circumstances (smoke filled clubs, getting pushed around, low-end camera, hand-rolled film, etc. No auto-focus, sharp detailed digital cameras). Therefore some negatives require darkroom or digital adjustments for the best possible print.
Jenny Lens, 1979
