When I take any photograph, my intent is to produce a fine print. The subtle colors and rich detail of the prints doesn’t show up in the Jpegs on this web site. I’m confident enough in the quality of my work that I will refund your money if you aren’t absolutely satisfied with your purchase. Just send it back within three months.
Most of my images were shot on Fuji Provia film, but newer work is captured digitally. In either case, I used a large or medium format camera when I made the shot. I like shooting with big format cameras because I love to maintain as much detail that I can; even in large prints.
I use a high quality Imacon or drum scanner to convert the transparency into a digital file. These files can be several hundred megabytes and are capable of producing prints rich in fine detail. I spend a lot of time using Photoshop to correct exposure, dodge and burn, set the contrast, saturation and coax the image to reveal as much of the moment that I experienced when I clicked the shutter. This process never seems to end as I always seem to sweat the details on subsequent prints.
I prefer printing using the current family of Epson pigment printers and I personally make all of my prints 16x20 or smaller on my 3800. My paper of choice is Hahnemuhle’s Photo Rag Baryta. I like the deep rich tones and color it produces and its heavy weight (315 gsm) resists rippling in larger sheets. Given that, I can also provide prints on glossy canvas upon request.
Each image is limited to 50 editions inclusive of all sizes. All prints are signed, titled and numbered and each is given a pedigree attached to the back of the mat board. Prints are shipped matted with acid free rag board. The mat is also signed and titled so your print is ready to frame and hang. I realize that the white mat may not be your favorite choice and that’s why I attach the print to the mat board using clear corners so it is easily removed from the clam shell package. That way, should you wish to use another kind or color board, the print won’t be damaged.
At the moment, we accept payments through PayPal or by check or money order. If you wish to pay by check, I’ll ship your print after the check clears. Please note that the prices listed include the cost of shipping.
