Woodstock, IL Feb 27, 2007 The Hahnemuhle booth at this year's WPPI will have four stunning images of acclaimed photographer Monte Zucker. Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag® Bright White, these images are sure to be the center of attention at our booth.

The images are part of his limited edition, hand- signed and numbered portfolio. They can be purchased to assist the establishment of the Zucker Institute for Photographic Inspiration (ZIPI) to actively help those who are looking to photography as a means of a brighter future. Monte's images are simple, direct and emotional. Monte states, "I don't photograph the world as it is. I photograph the world as I would like it to be." His work is original and makes a statement.

Monte Zucker has made an impact in the photographic industry for more than 50 years as a professional photographer/teacher studying and perfecting his photographic technique. Monte achieved almost every photographic degree that exists, and had the honor of being named Portrait Photographer of the year in 2002 by the United Nations. He created contemporary standards for lighting and composition in photographic portraiture. He has taken on a leadership role by training emerging artists who, like him, aspire to capture special moments and create memories for families to treasure for years to come.

Monte states, "Hahnemuhle's paper is the most gorgeous paper I've ever used. I know my photographs deserve the best fine art archival-grade paper available, and that's why I chose Photo Rag® Bright White when I created my special set of limited edition hand-signed prints. I love it, my customers rave about it, and you will too."

The Hahnemuhle paper mill has been producing quality artist's papers for over 420 years. Since its founding in 1584 they have developed experience and a tradition of excellence in art materials that is now been brought to the digital age, and fine art InkJet printing.
