FAQ

The ownership of fine art photography is an art form in and of itself. Thus, understanding the nuances of acquiring, collecting, and maintaining fine art photography is crucial to ensuring the longevity and vibrancy of these pieces. The following are essential tips from the world of curators, collectors, and museums to guide you through the process of making informed decisions about your fine art photography acquisitions.

To ensure the authenticity of the artwork, you will receive signed certificate of authenticity (COA) from me, the artist. I provide a COA for all of my work.
Each COA includes provenance information detailing the creation of each print. This will be essential when the time comes to resell a piece of artwork.

All my prints are signed within the border at the lower right hand corner of the artwork. Limited-Edition prints will also include the edition numbers

I custom size prints to the optimum aesthetic value of the artwork. I quote the overall size of the print, which is the size of the actual image, plus a white border of 5 cm (two-inches) on each side for easy handling and framing.

Fine art photographs often come in Limited Editions, which means only a certain number of prints are made. Knowing the size of the edition can help you understand the rarity and potential value of a photograph. A single print may come in several sizes, and each size is an edition.

Substrates—the proper name for the paper upon which images are printed—are an important consideration. In all cases, I choose certified archival substrates that provide a tactile quality and faithful tone for each specific image. These museum-grade papers not only offer superior visual depth, but ensure your investment retains its original condition for generations.

I do not provide frames. We have found that our art buyers and collectors prefer to select frames for personal display and aesthetic reasons.

Proper care is crucial to preserving the integrity of your artwork. Handle your prints by the border edges, and it is best to use cotton gloves to avoid depositing oils from your skin, which may mar the beauty of the artwork. Frame your work, display, and enjoy.

While the primary motivation for purchasing fine art photography should be personal enjoyment and aesthetic appreciation, it's also wise to consider the potential for appreciation in value. Limited edition prints may appreciate in value more than open edition prints due to a greater potential scarcity.

Your artwork will be packaged with care to ensure it arrives in excellent condition.
