It's in the details.... custom photo prints

Are you interested in having your own personal photos printed on canvas? I think that it's better to have them done by an artist, instead of a corporate photo-hut or retail chain store. Here's a few reasons why:

Quality and Care.
As an artist, I take great pride in the prints that I create - whether they are based on my own works, or somebody else's custom photo print. I look at each photo as if it were my own art piece - how would I crop it to maximize the composition? what adjustments would I make to the contrast, highlights, saturation, white balance? I don't just think about how I would adjust each photo, I go ahead and do it. I then show both images (basically before & after), and let the client decide which they prefer. Not only do I get to provide the option for a 'better' quality image/print, I get to practice and delvelop my skills, and also receive instant real-world feedback. It's definitely a win-win.

Supporting the Arts.
Individually printed & stretched canvas prints allow artists (who have invested in the equipment for themselves) the ability to earn additional income by utilizing their skills for your benefit. Technology has provided visual artists with a new opportunity.

Price.
Comparing quality & price vs. quality & price, you are going to receive better value from a small studio based artist with low overheard, than from any type of costly retail store. I use very high quality materials and do not 'maximize my profits' by reducing the quality of my custom prints (I would never do that for my personal art prints, why would I do that for a clients?). As far as I know my price of $60 for a custom photo 11" pigment ink, UV protected, stretched canvas giclée, is quite low - the only way that I can offer this price (while retaining the quality that I demand) is by having few overhead costs.


I will be posting some 'before & after' photos to demonstrate my visions.
