Carlos Barrantespresented the main results of his research at the University on June 19, 2012 and delivered a report that, in the future, will take the form of a publication or other support that will allow the dissemination of his findings.

Underway since 2005, in collaboration with the Fondo Fotográfico del Museo Universidad de NavarraThe project aims to put in a contemporary context the 19th century photographs held by the Fund, updating the theoretical, practical and methodological aspects of artisanal techniques in the making and obtaining of the photographic print.

The study also sheds light on how to apply current techniques and technologies to obtain facsimile copies of the historical originals of the Museum's photography collection, and raises the need to establish a common and consensual terminology to determine and name the different techniques, procedures, methodologies, steps, etc.

In addition, this research has developed a prototype and a procedure that could be eligible for registration.

In 1993 he founded his artisan photographic workshop , initially specialized in platinotype and other historical and alternative photographic processes (photochemical) to which he has added the digital pigmentary process Giclée/Digigigraphie both in B/W and color, and specializing in traditional photographic papers (barite fiber).
