Bertagna Photography - owner 2004-present

I have a deep curiosity for old photographs and have developed a custom printing process exclusive to Bertagna Photography for preserving old family photos & recipes/letters, newspaper articles, etc. Using silver leaf & custom made "paper", I hand transfer edited photographs onto wood panels giving them new life. This unique process enhances the final image and ensures no two are made exactly the same.

Photo Shoots, Installations, Custom Framing, Book Making, and Art & Design consultations are also services available by inquiry. For commissions or inquiries, please email [email protected]
