Sunflowers (2017) Fotografía por Richard Eugene Puckett

Richard Eugene Puckett announced early in 2012 the Texas Chrysotype. This printing process finally achieved Herschel's vision from the earliest days of photography: grainless, gray scale, true continuous tone photographic images in pure gold. In rapid succession, Puckett announced the Ultimatype Supreme -- an impossible combination of gold and platinum -- then dry print out palladium and platinum. In 2016 he announced the Rhodiotype. A documentary about how he invented this entirely new printing process in rhodium, Magic Iron Rose,  garnered a Remi at the 2017 Houston WorldFest International Film Fesitival. The Auridiotype -- a combination of gold and iridium --followed in 2017.

Puckett's processes for printing with noble metals have been published in View Camera magazine, on unblinkingeye dot com, and alternativephotography dot com. In October 2013 he presented the Texas Chrysotype at the Alternative Photography International Symposium in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Puckett maintains a youtube channel with his documentaries and short videos demonstrating many of his processes, including the award winning Magic Iron Rose.

New prints are in production as of October 2022. Puckett has largely abandoned printing on paper, choosing to print instead on toile and silk. Palladium and palladium-nickel are his primary media for printing on fabric. There is no particular reason for this choice of metals other than that he has so much palladium on hand.
