Whilst leading workshops, I have often found that while all participants thoroughly enjoy the process of making photographs, some simply don't have the time or wherewithal to sit down for hours and master the digital darkroom to a standard where they feel it would be sufficiently high in order to produce an amazing print to display on their wall. This is where I come in!
It's very simple. All you need to do is send me a copy of your highest quality image file (RAW if you have one) and indicate the size of print you would like to be produced and I will do the rest. A multitude of techniques, both within Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, which have taken years to master will bring out the very best from your treasured image. Once I am happy with the result and prior to sending the file to the printers, I will email you a low-resolution copy for your approval. I am at your service (this is YOUR photograph after all) and so if there is something you would like me to tweak then, of course, that would be no problem at all. The finished file will only be sent off once you are entirely satisfied with my work.
You might be wondering why I don't just send you the file for you to send to the printers or to do at home on your own printer? Well, I use, and trust, the same professional laboratories that I have done for a number of years, and unless your computer and printer are fully calibrated and 'speak' to one another the print will not come out as you would hope. By allowing me to handle the entire process, you will have zero fuss and zero ink and paper waste!
Or, you may wish to turn your colour image into black and white.
When only the best will do!
Once your file has been prepared I will send it to the lab where, using the Giclée process, it will be printed on beautiful, heavyweight Hahnemühle paper which not only exhibits incomparable detail and depth but due to its archival properties has a fade and colour shift resistance of between 100 and 200 years. To further personalise your artwork, two paper finishes will be available to you; the classic Photo Rag and Fine Art Baryta. Each has its own unique characteristics and I am here to advise as to which one to select. Finally, only when I have received the print from the laboratory and I am fully satisfied will I then post it to you.
