Our fine art metallic prints start from Tango drum scanned transparencies or high resolution digital captures, and are printed on state-of-the-art digital enlargers utilizing Kodak Endura paper. Unlike conventional enlargers that make use of lenses and negatives, the digital enlarger uses high-intensity lasers to expose digital files onto photographic paper with no generational loss of image quality. After exposure, the paper is processed in standard color photographic chemicals. The resulting print is indistinguishable from its analog cousin - except that its quality and sharpness is usually superior. Each print is matted and signed by the photographer. Our limited editions are also numbered, and come with a certificate of authenticity.

We additionally offer all of our images as dye-infused aluminum prints, fine-art giclées on recycled sugar cane paper and as gallery-wrapped, canvas giclées, in sizes from 8X10 to 30x45. All of our giclées are made on state-of-the-art, pigment-based, giclée printers in our studio. After drying, we apply a UV coating that ensures fade-free viewing for 100 + years. The sugar cane images are then hand deckled and matted and mounted. Our canvas images are then stretched completely around hardwood bars so the image actually "spills" around the sides for a three-dimensional effect. Because of this gallery wrap, there's no framing involved -- just hang the print on the wall. Each image is signed and numbered by the artist, and comes with a certificate of authenticity.

For the ultimate in image fidelity and longevity, our Alumination® prints combine aircraft-grade aluminum and specially-formulated, dye-based inks in a process utilizing extreme heat and intense pressure. The result is a near-3D image that is so life like, you'll swear you can walk right into the image. Our Alumination® prints are available in very limited editions.
