Product Details and Specifications
Selection of Images
I have selected a few of my favorite images for sale. Almost all of the images that appear on this website or in social media can be printed so if you see something you like and it is not in the shop please contact me to see what is possible. My images are sold in specific sizes, however if you want a different size or aspect ratio it may be possible so please contact me.
Professional Printing
To ensure that the finished prints are of the highest quality possible I have consulted extensively with Custom Photo Imaging to determine the optimum sizing and format for my images and drawn on their extensive knowledge and experience in the fields of professional imaging and fine art photographic reproduction. Every image purchased is subject to their rigorous professional standards.
Canson Fine Art Paper
I have decided to use only the very best paper on which to print my images. Canson paper mills were founded back in 1557 and are renowned today, by artists, photographers and printers around the world as the producer of extremely beautiful fine art papers. I am offering a choice of three different papers, all of which are, acid free, archival quality, museum grade, extremely high quality print mediums. The first is Canson Smooth Photo Rag 308gsm, a beautiful heavyweight, 100% cotton, fine art paper with a velvety smooth matte surface that has proven to be an excellent choice for photographic reproductions offering impressive pictorial depth and vibrant colour. The second paper choice is Canson Textured Photo Rag 310gsm, a heavyweight, 100% cotton, fine art paper distinguished by an evenly textured matte surface structure which adds atmosphere and a wonderful artistic touch to photographic images. The final and most traditional choice is Platine Silk Photo Fibre Rag 310gsm. This beautiful print medium has a white, silky satin finish which gives the impression of a traditional silver halide photographic paper. The unique barium sulphate coating ensures an extraordinary image reproduction with a very large colour space, creamy shades of white and velvety deep black. High colour density and brilliance guarantee impressive sharpness and detail to create high resolution, vivid images of sensational quality.
Museum Grade Canvas
My images can also be printed on canvas. I have chosen a premium, museum grade, heavyweight, cotton polyester blend canvas that is robust, stretchable, highly resistant to cracking and incorporates an advanced inkjet receiving layer that provides excellent image sharpness and optimal color graduation. Once printed the canvas is finished with three coats of satin UV archival spray to preserve the image from scuffing and airborne pollutants and is then ready to be stretched and mounted. Canvas adds a rich and vibrant artistic quality to photographic reproductions. This combined with minimalist framing and mounting techniques, produces dramatic, yet elegant pieces that suit any room. The cost of having images printed on canvas is higher than printing on Fine Art papers and consequently, canvas prints cost a little more than their fine art paper counterparts. All canvas prints are created with a two inch, mirror edge border which wraps around the frame. Prints are then stretchd and mounted on a frame and sold as a product ready to hang.
Certificate of Authenticity
My images are sold with an accompanying hand signed Certificate of Authenticity which includes a thumbnail image of the print and details the print number, the date the image was captured, camera settings, paper specifications and the detailed story behind the image.
Sizing and Custom Options
My images are offered at a large and small size. To maintain quality, there are some offered at the smaller size only. Images printed on fine art paper have a 3cm white border to allow room for my signature and various framing options. Images printed on canvas have a 2 inch (5.08cm) mirror edge border to allow enough excess for stretching and mounting. Images in my collection are cropped with a variety of aspect ratios. Large and small print sizes for each aspect ratio are listed below;
Aspect Ratio 1.5 (4:6) Large 16 x 24" or 40.64 x 60.96cm Small 12 x 18" or 30.48 x 45.72cm
Aspect Ratio 1.25 (8:10) Large 16 x 20" or 40.64 x 50.8cm Small 12 x 15" or 30.48 x 38.1cm Very Small 8 x 10” or 20.32 x 25.4cm
Aspect Ratio 1 (Square) Large 20 x 20" or 50.8 x 50.8cm Small 16 x 16" or 40.64 x 40.64cm Very Small 10 x 10 “ or 25.4 x 25.4cm

Aspect Ratio 2 (Panoramic) Large 8 x 24" or 20.32 x 60.96cm Small 6 x 18" or 15.24 x 45.72cm
The specific size options that apply to each image appear in a drop down box within the product and must be selected before the item can be added to your shopping cart. Please note that the above measurements DO NOT include the border. Many of the above sizes are standard sizes, commonly used by photographers, printers and framers and have been deliberately chosen to reduce the cost of printing and framing and allow customers to use ready made frames and matt boards available from retailers. If the sizes offered for a particular image do not suit your needs, custom sizes are generally possible, although may cost a little extra due to additional custom printing expense. If you would like a custom size or border width or want to purchase an image of mine that is not in the shop, please contact me directly on my email address at throughthelookingglassphotos@yahoo.com.au for availability and pricing.
