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.
