Giclee Prints launched in multiple formats and papers
No comments · Posted by Gary in Canvas Prints
We’ve launched our Giclee prints service which is aimed at professional photographers, artists (looking to create reproductions of their work), museums, as well as a gift idea for all photo enthusiasts.
The ordering system is, as with all our other products, very intuitive. You can upload your photos up to 50mb and then crop, position and resize your images very easily.
We have multiple formats to choose from such as your standard or popular sizes as well as A sizes, panoramic and squares and multiple sizes within each format.
We have selected some of the finest quality, acid free papers for our Giclée prints. They have excellent archival properties and are capable of reproducing images at a very high print resolution.
Our Giclee Prints service should encourage amateurs to get some of their more treasured shots printed on papers and inks that aren’t available on many desktop printers. Prices start from £7 including delivery (extra for countries outside the UK). Prints larger than 12 x 16″ are sent in a tube and all prints are guaranteed fade free and will last up to 75 years.

We had a great time meeting everyone at Photovision in Windsor and it was really nice to see many of our customers face to face. We had a selection of our products on display which included our canvas prints, giclee prints, switchframes and perspex prints.
There were a couple of requests for sample giclee packs; this is something we’ve been thinking about for a while and we want to make available. The best way for us to do this is to make a sample pack available online for people to order for just £5 to cover costs. If you’re in a hurry to get one now just contact us and we’ll do our best to get one sent out asap. If you want to learn more about our giclee prints then see this section.

The very personal work of Sally Mann is currently on show at the photographers gallery in London. Here is an extract from their website about the exhibition:
The work of American photographer Sally Mann is deeply rooted in both her family, and the landscape she lives and works in. This exhibition, her first solo-show in the UK, draws on several powerful photographic series from throughout her long career that reflect these influences.
Sally Mann (b.1951, USA) first came to prominence for Immediate Family(1984 – 94), a series of intimate and revealing portraits of her three young children Emmett, Jessie and Virginia. Taken over ten years, Mann depicts them playing and acting to camera in and around their homestead in Virginia. Capturing their childhood in all its rawness and innocence, both this and the later series Faces were born out of a collaborative process between mother and child.
Changing focus to the landscape close to her home, the series Deep South(1996 – 98) draws on significant locations from the American Civil War. The photographs are ghostly lit and covered with delicate marks and drip trails – a result of using antique cameras and processes which Mann relishes – that imbue them with a sense of time suspended.
The most recent series in the exhibition, What Remains (2000-04), brings together both of the earlier strands. Facing us are beautifully realised portraits of decomposing bodies returning to the land, photographs taken at a research facility in Tennesse. Dealing directly with the social taboo of death, Mann treats this subject with sensitivity, encouraging us to reflect on our own mortality and place within nature’s order.
The Family and the Land: Sally Mann at The Photographers’ Gallery is an edited version of a touring exhibition, conceived by Sally Mann in collaboration with Hasse Persson, Director, Borås Museum of Modern Art, Sweden.
