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...

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...

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

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.

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

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?
