In Gary Auerbach's site it is claimed that:

"My specialty is portraiture, specifically large format platinum portraiture. With less than fifty photographers in the world working in this medium, I find satisfaction in educating a public that knows little about platinum photography and the platinotype."

(site address: http://www.garyauerbach.com/)

Are there really less than fifty photographers working with platinotype / palladiotype? Or he's trying to say "less than fifty professionals"?

Regards,
Loris.
