Instead of the picture being on paper, each one is incorporated with a metallic silver, brass or copper.
By using a metallic backing instead of paper, photos will not fade, breakdown or crack. This a patent pending process.
The Metaltone process uses old darkroom technology with a film negative. Each one is exposed and developed by hand so that every print is an original work of art.
One of the many distictions of Metaltones is the 3D effect that the metallic incorporation provides. It also gives the luminosity of a lighted picture to each print.
Thom Coffman has compiled several Limited Edition Print series that have been offered in fine art galleries throughout the Western United States. Just a few of those galleries are hosted in locations such as Aspen CO, Jackson Hole WY, and Bend OR.
Because each print is done one at a time by hand, Thom Coffman intends to stay as exclusive as possible to ensure the fine quality and value of each print.
