Digital File : The most important element of giclee printing is the digital file. We scan your original work using a high resloution digital camera to create this digital file. Camera Scan : The digital camera directly captures the image creating a hi-resolution file. Traditionally, the image is captured on film and is then scanned. However, this latter process leads to a loss of color accuracy, detail and does introduce 'noise' from the emulsion on the film when enlarged.

Listed below are some of the most frequently asked questions that I receive via e-mail. I'm sent a great number of interesting and often challenging questions every day (some of which now appear on my Online Forum page).

You can order a Fine Art Canvas print that is rolled in a tube for delivery and which you can then have mounted or framed at a framing place you most often use, or we can send you a "stretched" canvas printed and mounted on stretcher bars and ready for you to hang.

Cost: Every film shot involves film and development costs even if you don't print. If you use rechargeable batteries, then each unprinted digital shot is essentially free since the cost in electricity and reduction in lifetime battery capacity is esentially zero. Time: If you like to share your photos through email or web based galleries, it is easier and faster if you start with digital in the first place.

Your painting will usually ship within 5 business days of your order. If you choose UPS ground, allow an additional 5-7 business days for your painting to arrive, or 2 days for Fed Ex 2 nd Day Air.

I would love to create a special paintings for you. I often do commissions for people who have seen something they like on the web site but need something just a little bit different.

We strive for 100% satisfaction. That is our goal. One of the ways that make my process unique is that I shoot on a very special Polaroid film. It allows us to have an instant dialogue…there's no waiting for proofs or contact sheets. In 23 seconds, we can see the image we just took. We'll instantly know whether we are on the right or wrong track.

This can vary and is dependant on the number of commissions I am doing, the time of year and the medium chosen. I normally work to a 2 - 3 week timetable (6 - 8 weeks if in oils) but am happy to discuss shorter timescales for special occasions. The run up to Christmas is a particularly busy time of year

Certainly. On completion of your portrait I will email a photograph to you for your approval. You also have the opportunity to view your work in different stages as it progresses on my work in progress pages.
