Platinum printing, devised in the 19th century, yields a rich, deep yet warm black or dark brown print that is the exact size of the negative.Description
Andrea Modica uses an 8 x 10 in. view camera to produce portraits of people in their environments. The camera’s technical requirements slow down the shooting process and necessitate the development of a relationship between sitter and photographer. In this sweet celebration of nature and the discoveries of youth, Modica shows a young girl spreading out her luxurious hair in the sunlight.- {{cite web|title=Croton-on-the-Hudson, N.Y.|url=false|author=Andrea Modica|year=1988|access-date=14 December 2025|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
