Below, you will find my price
guidelines for prints of images and for licensed
images supplied in digital format for commercial
usage.
INTRODUCTION: USING
THE GALLERIES
The images are presented in six
galleries - links above, classified by geography
and weather-type.
Each
gallery consists of a series of thumbnail
images. Mouse over them for brief captions. If
you click on a thumbnail you will be taken to
see an 800 pixel wide enlargement with a more
detailed caption plus a specific link to email
me if you want to purchase or enquire about an
image. The subject
line of your email to me will automatically
include the item number you are interested in. IMAGE LICENSING - COMMERCIAL & NON-COMMERCIAL USE
For
licensed
digital images, please contact me
giving details of intended use. Prices negotiable depending on size of publication. The
high-resolution image will then be supplied by me
in TIFF format (or JPEG if requested) at a normal
resolution of 300 pixels per inch:
supply can be by email or via Dropbox
depending on client preferences and filesize.
PRINTING
Image printing is done by Redcliffe Imaging of
Bristol onto archival-quality media using top-end
longlife pigmented inks. When an order is placed,
the lab handles the rest, including delivery.

FINE
ART PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS
Printed using the latest imaging equipment and
profiling technology with archival quality
pigmented inks onto fine art and photo-base
papers. The inks are UV stable and offer a
lifespan of 100+ years. Choose from 325 gsm
Hahnemuhle Baryte (semi-gloss finish) or 308
gsm Hahnemuhle Photo
Rag (absolute matte finish). These
prints are unmounted, as I feel there is such
a range of personal tastes when it comes to
mounting and framing pictures, and it is
therefore best left for the customer to
decide.
Prices (as of early 2015)
vary from £40.00 for an A4
print through £64 for a 24 x 16 inch print to
£125.00 for a giant 36 x
24-inch print, including delivery. Please contact me for
details.
PRICES:
FINE ART STRETCHED CANVAS PRINTS
Canvas prints on 100% pure cotton artist canvas
(340g/square metre), carefully hand-stretched and
secured over a mitred and wedged wooden stretcher
frame. Stretched canvas prints can be either
gallery wrapped, where the image wraps around the
edge of the stretcher or image flush, where the
edge of the stretched canvas shows bare white
canvas. The size of the stretcher dictates
how far the canvas will stand from your wall.
Prices
as of early 2015 vary a lot because the firms
offering this service no longer include Redcliffe
and there seem to be price-wars going on out there
so some orders enjoy heavy discounts! Please contact me
for the current situation.
PAYMENT
Both print
orders and commercial orders in digital
format will be supplied with an
invoice. For
print orders, payment in full, by cheque, by
postal order or by BACS, is required prior to an
order being printed. When paying by cheque this
will involve a slight delay while the cheque
clears. My apologies in advance for this but I
cannot afford to have an expensive stretched
canvas print made and then find that a cheque has
been returned, as I am sure you will appreciate!
Turnaround with the printers is
normally 10-15 days.
DELIVERY
For Fine Art prints, delivery is by UPS.
For images supplied in digital format, UK delivery
is included in the price.
For international enquiries involving shipping,
please contact me by email and I will make
enquiries regarding delivery logistics/costs and
get back to you forthwith.

IMAGE LICENSING: Images from the slide library are

COLOUR:
Calibration
and colour-management have been applied to the
equipment and the images throughout the scanning,
processing and printing stages of the workflow.
However, it is important to understand that many
people use computer monitors that have not been
colour-calibrated. As a demonstration of this, go
into your local electrical superstore and look at
the display of tv screens on the back wall. They
are usually all displaying the same channel but
each set has slight differences in colour, density
and contrast. For that reason, it's worth getting
your monitor calibrated if colours look a bit
"off". This is less of an issue than it used to
be, but I thought I'd mention it.
