Can you get sizes not offered on the pull down menu?

Yes, as a special request. Just send an email with your desired size and medium and I will reply with availability and price. For example, for Fine-Art prints, 8 x 8, 8 x 10, 11 x 14 are possible, however the photo will need to be cropped and and not all photos would look perfect.

Can I order a print from outside Canada for delivery outside Canada?

Not at the moment. Only Canadian shipping locations possible.

Is it possible to see samples of the photos in the various mediums and frames/Hang systems in person?

Absolutely. If you are in the Ottawa National Capital region, you are welcome to visit my home Gallery to see samples up close. By appointment only. and for anyone who is not from near here, I will be happy to set up a short ZOOM call via which I can show you the samples and answer any other questions you may have. Go to the Contact page to email me your request.

How can you decide whether you prefer a fine art print, a metallic print or a canvas print?

Canvas Prints:

Best For:

• Classic or Artistic Look: Canvas prints offer a traditional, textured appearance similar to a painting. This makes them ideal for portraits, landscapes, or any photograph where a softer, more artistic presentation is desired.

• Warmth and Depth: The texture of the canvas adds depth to images and creates a warm, inviting atmosphere, which is perfect for home decor.

• Versatility: Canvas prints are highly versatile and can complement various interior design styles, from rustic to modern.

• Non-Reflective Surface: The matte finish of canvas is non-reflective, making it a good choice for brightly lit rooms or spaces with natural light.

Considerations:

• Less Detail: The texture of the canvas can slightly soften the details in a photograph, so it may not be the best choice for images with a lot of fine detail or sharpness.

• Durability: While canvas prints are durable, they can be more susceptible to scratches, dents, or damage if not handled carefully.

Metal Prints:

Best For:

• Modern and Sleek Look: Metal prints offer a sleek, contemporary finish with vibrant colors and a glossy or matte surface, making them ideal for modern spaces or high-impact images.

• High Definition and Detail: Metal prints bring out the fine details and sharpness of an image. The printing process enhances color saturation and contrast, making them perfect for vibrant, detailed photos, such as cityscapes, abstract art, or wildlife photography.

• Durability: Metal prints are incredibly durable, resistant to scratches, fading, moisture, and UV rays, making them suitable for outdoor display or high-traffic areas.

• Reflective Surface: The glossy finish can reflect light, which might be desirable for a striking effect, but it's something to consider based on where you plan to display the print.

Considerations:

• Reflective Surface: The glossy surface of metal prints can create glare or reflections, which might not be ideal in very bright or naturally lit spaces.

• Cold Appearance: The sleek, shiny finish can sometimes feel cold or less personal compared to the warmth of a canvas print.

Fine Art Paper Prints:

Best For:

• High-Quality Reproduction: Fine art paper is designed to reproduce images with incredible detail, color accuracy, and tonal range, making it ideal for professional-grade prints.

• Texture and Aesthetic: Fine art papers often have a subtle texture that can add an element of depth to your photographs. This is especially good for black-and-white photography, detailed landscapes, or artistic portraits.

• Archival Quality: Fine art paper is typically archival, meaning it’s designed to last for decades without fading or deteriorating, making it an excellent choice for collectors or for framing.

• Matte or Semi-Gloss Finish: Fine art papers come in various finishes, from matte to semi-gloss, allowing you to choose the best look for your image without worrying about reflections.

Considerations:

• Fragility: Fine art paper is more delicate compared to canvas and metal, requiring careful handling and professional framing to protect it from damage.

• Display Needs: To preserve the quality of a fine art paper print, it’s usually recommended to frame it behind glass or acrylic. This adds additional cost but ensures the longevity of the print.

• Less Vibrant: Compared to metal prints, fine art paper may not be as vibrant in color saturation, especially in glossy finishes. However, it offers a more natural and refined presentation.

Summary:

• Choose Canvas if you want a classic, warm, and textured look that complements traditional or artistic photography.

• Choose Metal if you want a modern, vibrant, and durable print that emphasizes sharpness and color intensity.

• Choose Fine Art Paper if you seek a high-quality, archival print with excellent detail and color accuracy, especially suited for framing and preserving.

The choice between these options will depend on the style of your photograph, the environment where it will be displayed, and the aesthetic you want to achieve.
