Additional information

Paper, print quality and finish: A4, A3 and A5 prints are giclée prints, created from original negatives, produced in-house in stylish black & white. Finished to exhibition stan-dard using archival-quality materials and heavyweight paper with the look and feel of traditional photographic paper.

All prints carry a white margin to facilitate mounting and handling. A4 and A3 prints are individually signed on the back to identify them as originals.

Prints are available in A4, A3, A5 and poster sizes. Click here for more information.

The poster-sized enlargements are printed by an outside pro-lab and carry no signature.

Prints presentation and protection: A4 and A3 prints are encased individually in archival quality polyester sleeves to protect them from fingerprints and other damage. The sleeves are the same as used by leading museums and art galleries.

Unframed A4 and A3 prints are delivered in a black portfolio box (except Q-Session). The box is manufactured to high standards of workmanship, designed to store your prints safely and in archival conditions, and as an attractive display option.

Photobook print quality and finish: The photobook is a commercially printed, bound hardcover photo album with the appearance of a coffee table-style art book. Print quality is virtually indistinguishable from that of regular books. The book measures 30x30 cm and comes with hand-sewn linen or leather cover. More ...

Two pages of the photobook are taken up by titles. The 40-page book can display up to 38 photographs. A maximum of ten extra pages can be added.

I can normally provide contact sheets within five to seven working days of the photo session plus delivery for most commissions. Prints and digital files: allow at least ten working days. If this is a rush job, please check with me first.
