Art prints

With tools and techniques of digital fine art photography I create
high quality art prints.

Attention to all aspects of the creative process
and working with the best of available materials
ensures that your acquisition outlasts generations.

Modern tools, no cutting corners

The workflow for digital prints still has similarities with the process in the analogue darkrooms. You need to develop a ‘negative’ in order to print a positive and only in the very end will you know how close you have come to what you were aiming for.

The particular workflow I have adopted is as precise as it is extensive. It takes skill, patience and knowledge to tick all the required boxes but the results show consistently that time is well spent.

Images out of camera improve as time goes by, but there is always a basic set of steps to complete. Besides the development to create a ‘negative’ there is also a process of proofing to create a printing profile that alters a copied negative in such a way that it becomes suitable for printing on a specific paper with a particular printer.
Preferably the proofing is done in such a way that the resulting image is printed with the least possible difference with the original (negative) image.

Printing Photos

All prints are created on demand.
I do not print batches. The opportunity to work per client adds a sense of dedication that I quite enjoy. Besides, not having a stock reduces risk of damage by storage and additional handling.

All prints come from Epson Certified Printers that employ UltraChrome pigment based inks. These machines deliver a consistent print quality that fully addresses the demands and needs of contemporary photographic art.

For any print, limited- and open edition alike,
I use the museum quality paper by Canson and by Hahnemuehle.
Choices vary per image subject and artistic intent.

A word about the photos on the web site

The web images on Photosence.com are not direct copies of the large digital files that go through the printer.
They are specifically developed as light files that load quickly on your device
and can still give a reliable impression of their printed counterpart.

Despite best efforts to create appropriate representations,
physical prints are of a different class.
An image formed with ink on paper that both reflect and absorb light has a quality and a presence that is impossible to reproduce on electronic screens.
