I visited a photography gallery by Peter Lik this weekend where I saw this image.

(I think it was this image. I couldn't find it on his website
This image didn't blow me away until the curator lowered the lights in the viewing room and the moon started glowing! It looked like the moon was back-lit in perfect detail. He went on to explain that there was some kind of silver dust in the paper that reflected and scattered light. It was absolutely jaw dropping.
Anyways I cant find any information on this. I was wondering if anyone knew what this technique was called or how to do it.

Might be a tip in here...

He mentions silver halide printing in the video. I was looking at that earlier. But this photo is in color. Isn't silver halide a monochrome process?
I noticed that in the photo the moon seems to be sepia monochrome. Is it possible that the moon was printed in silver halide and the rest was printed using a different method?
It was only the bright parts of the moon that were illuminated.

Clearly a composite image.  I doubt that any of it was done in the darkroom.  "Silver halide" does refer to the traditional B&W darkroom but so do "sepia" and "split toning" even though they have spilled over into the digital world.

I know this is an old thread, sorry.
OK to print on white paper, the lightest spots have the least ink on them. Would it be possible that there was a light behind the photo?

Would it be possible that there was a light behind the photo?

I did ask about that, as was my initial impression. However, they told me that the image was not back lit.

Silver halide is also used in color film.  The different layers are sensitized to different colors of light.
