Yes, but we avoid sending framed artwork outside of London due to the inevitable risk of damage. You are also welcome to collect your photography print from our gallery space in central London. Framing & delivery services are subject to additional fees.
We recommend that you have your piece framed with an archival mount, avoiding dry mounting where possible and choosing AV-reflective glass preferably. The work should not be displayed in areas exposed to natural light and should be away from extreme temperatures and damp conditions.
Yes. Available in denominations of £100 and for use across our website and shows, our vouchers are sent via email and make a unique and memorable gift.
Understanding Prints
A method of printmaking used to produce high quality images from a digital source by ink-jet printing. The ink is sprayed onto a wide range of media in millions of colours utilising continuous tone technology. This method is associated with prints that use fade-resistant ‘archival’ inks.
Also known as a dark room print, this is the most common type of black-and-white photograph produced. Photosensitive silver salts are suspended and dispersed in the gelatin, which acts as a stabilizer for the chemicals. The image taken from the negative is then embedded in the gelatin coating on fibre-based paper as the chemicals react to the varied concentration and brilliance of the light.
A standard, high contrast black-and-white photographic paper print, with the blacks and whites being very sharp. The image is produced by a chemical change in the surface of the paper when it comes into contact with the bromide. The image sharpness is produced because the paper’s surface is not fibre-based.
The print material consists of at least three layers of emulsions, in which the photographic chemicals are kept stable. Each layer contains light-sensitive silver salts designed to be sensitive to a different colours (red, green or blue). Chemicals are added during printing which forms the appropriate colours in each layer, which combined together form an accurate reproduction of the colour image.
A high-quality print created by various sized droplets of ink propelled in file detail onto paper. The inkjet print is produced from a digital image file as opposed to a negative. A fine art print produced on this medium should use archival paper of a fine quality and ink appropriate to the quality of the image. An increasingly popular fine art medium, inkjet prints allow a greater spectrum of colour reproduction.
A digital print where the chemicals are handled carefully with the intent of increasing the image’s longevity. This includes handling and treating the photographic materials in a way that lessens their deterioration from ageing and from chemical reactions with other materials.
In photography, vintage prints are typically the earliest prints that the photographer makes soon after developing a negative, vintage prints are considered original pieces of art.
