I went to a photography exhibition today, I saw some interesting illuminated photos, backlit and the photos themselves were more opaque in the dark areas and more transparent in the bright areas, very high quality images at that.
Can anyone tell me when method could be used to achieve this type of print and a few places that might do it in the UK?

Just to be more clear, the photos were positive prints on film...

I thought you were talking about lightening (and its not just about general photography on strobist, hence the name strobist)
Do a transparency transfer of your film, much like xray films.

Actually, your jackass fucken answer is rather annoying. Why dont you fucken find out for your own rather than bitching to someone who is trying to help you.

How big were these photos? Could the have been large format slide films?
20x24 inch is the biggest film I have seen used.

Duratrans is a Kodak material that's used for backlit prints. There are other similar materials, but "duratrans" is what people call it, like "xerox" is what people call photocopy...

http://www.displaycraft.com/sale…Note that you should know how it will be backlit before you make the print, otherwise too light/dark, and color may be off....
There is also inkjet duratrans, it will require a lot of testing and calibration to make it good, but you can use your own printer...
