About the Prints

​

Both film and digital cameras are used and the prints are created using the very best modern photographic printing methods available.

The photographs are custom printed using state-of-the-art techniques that yield unequaled sharpness, color fidelity, tonal range, and archival stability.

The only adjustments made to the images in the “digital darkroom” are those also available using traditional darkroom techniques that correct for color balance and contrast. No objects have been added or removed, no color filters have been used, and the photos are taken without the use of any flash. Any adjustments in a particular image are always done to give an accurate rendering of the subject, color, and lighting at the time of the exposure.

Please note that these low resolution, compressed images on this website are not able to convey the beautiful color and detail of the actual photographic fine art UltraChrome and Fuji Crystal Archive prints.

Fine Art Printing Process and Display

​

All prints are on high quality archival paper.

Prints up to 12" x 18" are available using pigment-based UltraChrome inks. Prints 16” x 24” and larger are Fuji Crystal Archive prints.

The pigment-based UltraChrome inks used are stable and archival, and the prints should last for about 71 years or more before any noticeable fading will occur. The Fuji Crystal Archive prints are also archival and should last at least 60 years before any noticeable fading.

To protect your prints they should be matted and mounted under glass or plexiglass. Display them away from direct sunlight.

Image Sizes

​

Images are offered in a variety of sizes as specified in the large image descriptions in the galleries. We also offer images larger than 24" x 36". Please note that not all images are offered in all sizes. Please contact us by phone or email for information on availability and price for images larger than 24" x 36".

 

Matting and Framing

​

You can order prints in three formats: print only without matting or framing, matted, or matted and framed. All matted images are matted to fit standard frame sizes. Images are matted with acid-free white rag mats, and framed with an off-white or gray quality metal frame. The photographer's signature and the limited edition number will be placed on the mat. A glossy finish gives more saturated colors and greater detail, whereas a matte finish reduces glare and gives a softer quality. All UltraChrome prints are printed with a glossy finish. The Fuji Crystal Archive prints have a glossy finish.
