Ordering Prints
Most of my images are available for purchase through Smugmug’s professional-quality printing services. To do this, just click the “Buy” button to
the upper right of the image as you are browsing through the gallery. It will take you to a screen where you can
select sizes and number of copies, and it’s pretty self explanatory from
there. The prints will be shipped
straight to you from Smugmug.
A few notes on the types of paper on which you can order prints:
Glossy is a standard glossy print like you’re
probably used to seeing, printed on Kodak Edge paper. It has a great color
saturation but is highly reflective so it can be hard to see if it’s in direct
light.
Metallic looks similar to glossy at first, but
it is printed on special Kodak Professional Endura
Metallic paper which imparts a chrome-like quality to the image. It looks very, very cool, especially with
colorful underwater images. This is my
favorite paper and is what I print all of my own underwater pieces on.
Lustre is
kind of a cross between matte and glossy, printed on thicker Kodak Professional
Endura paper.
It has a textured finish so it doesn’t reflect nearly as much as glossy,
yet it still has excellent color. I use
this paper almost exclusively for anything where I’m not using metallic. Mostly above-water images.
Limited Prints
On each trip I take, I select a few of my favorite images
and offer them only as finished matted, framed, signed, and numbered
pieces. These images will be noted in
the gallery by *Limited Print* directly under the image description (species) and
you will not be able to purchase prints of them via the shopping cart. If you are interested in any of these images,
please email me. I personally mat,
frame, and ship these to you.
Let's hope it gets good ones soon!
