Wynn
     Wynn White is an American fine art black and white photographer and printer with over thirty years of experience. His work has been exhibited in galleries in Japan and in the United States. White learned his craft by viewing the work of others in museums and galleries and through trial and error in the field and in his darkroom. Wynn purchased his first camera to take along on his inaugural journey to Japan while with the US Navy in 1970. He has been deeply involved in photography and Japan ever since. For the past 20 years White has made his home in Chiba, Japan where he has his studio and darkroom.

     White does all of his own processing, preferring film to digital. It is important to him that his hands be involved in the printing process. He prints on conventional gelatin silver as well as hand coated paper using various historic processes including salt, cyanotype, Vandyke, argyrotype and platinum/palladium. Wynn believes that tripping the lens shutter is but one of many steps involved in the creation of a finely crafted print. At each phase of the process new opportunities for discovery and expression arise.
