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