  Over the past three decades, Photography West has maintained a distinctive position within the West Coast photographic discourse. The photographers we represent use medium/large-format film and make each photograph by hand in their own darkrooms using light sensitive papers and wet-processes. Our exhibition program supports both emerging and established photographers committed to darkroom craftsmanship.

  Photography West Graphics, Inc. of Carmel, California has been dedicated to producing deluxe first edition, fine art photography books on fine heavy text papers for over twenty years. Each elegant black and white photographic monograph features a renowned and legendary master photographer, such as Brett Weston, Paul Caponigro, Ruth Bernhard, and Don Worth. Our editions offer a visually discerning, chronological overview of the photographer's entire artistic career. In 1981, Ansel Adams directed Carol Williams to Dave Grey Gardner, the innovative and discerning printer responsible for production of his own many photography books. Ansel Adams enthusiastically declared, "Dave Gardner is the finest black and white printer in the world and can make a reproduction sharper than my original photograph!" Shortly thereafter, Williams sought out Gardner and together they began collaborating to create what today are widely acknowledged as some of the most beautiful fine art photography books ever created. Each edition used Dave Gardner's patented Laser fultone process to create facsimile quality photographic reproductions throughout. Photography West Graphics has been the recipient of numerous awards. “The Eternal Body” and “A Personal Selection” each won the acclaimed “Photography Book of the Year Award” offered by Friends of Photography. The posters have been awarded the Excellence for Printing and Design by the Printing Industry of America. Editor (uncredited) of Roman Loranc, "Fractal Dreams: Photographs from Two Decades" (PWG, 2009). Contributing writer and editor: "Brett Weston at One Hundred" (PWG, 2011).
