Fine Art Prints

I am pleased to offer high quality photographic prints of the images on this website. Prints can be ordered directly by contacting me using the contact form here, or by clicking on the contact link at the bottom of each page.

Prints are available in a variety of sizes, ranging from 12" x 18" up to 60" wide. The size options for a given image depend on both the aspect ratio of that image (e.g., whether it is a standard 2x3 ratio, like a typical 35mm image, or more of a panoramic format), the capability of the camera at the time the image was made (sensor technology has improved tremendously in the last decade!), and other circumstances related to the image capture itself. I will only print images that are consistent with the high levels of quality and image detail that I expect, and will let you know if, as a result, certain sizes for certain images may not be recommended.

Fine Art Prints. My prints are museum-quality, made with archival inks, and printed on fine art photographic paper. They show amazing detail. Prints are available unframed, leaving you the flexibility to have them framed to best suit your taste and decor. I am also happy to discuss framing options and pricing, or even the possibility of printing on other surfaces (metal or acrylic), if that would be of interest.


FINE ART COLOR PRINTS

Traditional fine art prints are created using a premium fine art photographic paper made by Canson Infinity, such as Canson Platine Fibre Rag, which is a luster paper with a semi-gloss surface that helps to preserve details and display vibrant colors. It is my favorite paper for a broad variety of color images. The prints are made on professional Canon printers, using a twelve-color Lucia Pro pigmented ink set that covers a wide color gamut and ensures the prints will last for many, many years (assuming they are well cared for and displayed away from direct sunlight).


BLACK & WHITE SILVER GELATIN PRINTS

Black & white images are typically printed by Digital Silver Imaging, a fine art photographic printer in Massachusetts. The DSI Digital Silver Prints® are real silver gelatin (silver halide), black & white prints, on a baryta fiber based paper, or a premium RC based paper. DSI Digital Silver Prints® are made from the fusion of modern digital technology and traditional exposure/chemical printing. The printers use a photographic laser printer to expose light sensitive Ilford silver gelatin paper; the exposed paper is then processed in traditional liquid photo chemistry. These prints have a great neutral image tone, without color cast, and proven archival superiority. They yield beautiful rich tones and shadow detail, and in my experience this process is the best available in the market today for black & white images.

    Although the printing process starts with a digital image, it is quite different from the ink jet printing that is typically used today -- indeed, it is best to think about this process as the modern equivalent of the traditional darkroom process, but using a digital negative. The process itself involves more time and effort than ink jet printing and is therefore more expensive and takes slightly more time.


    SATISFACTION GUARANTEE

    I am confident that you will be pleased with the quality of your fine art prints. Each is produced with the finest printers, papers and inks available today, with great attention to detail, not only in the making of the image itself, but in its printing and presentation.
