There are two ways you can purchase prints of my work, directly from myself or from the art website Red Bubble. When you purchase prints directly from me, I produce number and sign the work but you will need to have the mounting and framing dome for you. The alternative is to purchase ready to hang art work from my collection on Red Bubble where there is a large choice of products such as posters and framed prints.

If you want ready to hang art work visit Red Bubble using the link here otherwise read on.

Purchasing Prints Directly

Purchasing my art work can be much better value than popping down to your local superstore store to buy a mass produced and framed print. If you want to make a statement to your friends and family, quality photographic art will probably do it better than any other medium.

I believe my prices represent excellent value at:

• £20 for an A4 Print (11.7" x 8.3" approx) with free shipping in the UK *
• £35 for an A3 Print (16.5" x 11.7" approx) with free shipping in the UK *

* For shipping outside the UK please email me first with your location to confirm costs

You see I price my art so that people want to buy it, hang it on their walls or give it as a gift. The more widely my art is enjoyed, the happier I am.

Payment is via PayPal which is secure, easy to use and you don't even need to have a PayPal account.

About my Prices

The first thing you must understand is that my prints are produced to the highest of quality. Don't make the mistake of using the price to judge the quality of. Photography simply doesn’t work like that and if you think it does you could well end up overpaying for something.

In most retail environments the price you pay for something is determined largely by how much it costs to produce. High quality printing using pigment inks (more on that later) and archival quality paper really doesn’t cost much. What does cost quite a lot of money is the equipment used to make the print or the camera and lenses used to capture the image.

With my equipment I have to admit I would still have bought it even if I wasn’t selling prints of my work (because I like to use the best). It doesn’t follow therefore that I should pass on this cost to you when I sell my work. What I do need to pass on is the cost of materials and my time for making and mailing a print. These costs are actually quite modest and no where near what others might have you believe. I believe that if I price my prints at a realistic level more people are likely to purchase them, which is what I want. This is my "Real People Pricing Policy".

Print Quality & Edition Size

If you decide to purchase one of my prints there are a few important points I would like you to understand:

1. The majority of my prints are made using pigment inks on high quality photographic paper to ensure they last a lifetime. Unlike many photographers selling work today I have chosen (with a few exceptions) not to produces dye based prints. Whilst dye based prints produce very vivid, saturated colours they are not as good as pigment inks for producing subtle changes in colour and tone, especially when working in monochrome. The other benefit of pigment inks is that the prints are more stable and resistant to fading.
   
   
2. My prints are what are known as Open Editions rather than the more commonly encountered Limited Edition. This means I don't place a limit on the number of reproductions I produce of a particular image. I used to produce Limited Editions where I might produce say 25 prints of a particular image but having given this some serious thought decided to opt for producing Open Editions in the future. I believe it’s important for me to explain this is it might seem a little strange. With the advancement of photographic technology and printing there is no technical reason to limit the reproduction of an image. The first image produced will look almost identical in terms of quality to the latest print. In fact it’s likely that as the technology and my skills improve, the latest images will be the best. The only reason I can currently see for limiting the edition of a print is to create an artificial shortage which serves to inflate the price of work. This goes against my Real Person Pricing Policy.
   
   
3. I do produce all prints myself. I also sign, date and number the reverse of the prints to prove I made it and when. Once I’m gone and god has limited my work for me, you might find this signature and date actually has a real value in the market.
   
   

Two Guarantees

I offer two guarantees with my work.

Firstly there is a 30 day money back guarantee of satisfaction. If having purchased one of my prints you are unhappy with it for any reason you can return it for either an exchange or refund. All I ask it that you contact me first so I can make the arrangements for the print return.

Secondly all my prints carry a 10 year guarantee against fading but you do need to care for them by following a few simple points:

1. Don’t hang prints in direct sunlight as they will fade. I should also point out that the same is true of real photographic images also. Direct sunlight will damage any image.
   
   
2. Frame your prints, preferably with archival quality materials. It’s the acid in materials that come into contact with framed images that cause them damage. Most framers will be able to advise on this. Framing with UV glass is also a great way to reduce the likelihood of damage from light and greatly extend the life of your prints.
   
   
3. Don’t touch the surface of the print. Grease and moisture from your fingers can be literally soaked up by the paper the image is printed on and can cause stains and discolouring.
