A print is the ultimate expression of a photograph. While browsing images on a computer monitor is nice, the true beauty of a photograph can only be realized by viewing it as a fine art print. Your investment in our prints transcends the fleeting satisfaction of viewing images on a computer or mobile device; a large fine art print provides viewing pleasure for you and your guests for years to come. If you like what you see on your computer monitor, a print will have you mesmerized. Especially when paired with acrylic, our prints have color so deep and dimensionality so real they have to be seen to be believed.

Our printing involves a chromogenic process in which no inks are involved: the papers, which are light sensitive, are exposed to a projected image of the photograph via an LED light. The exposed paper is then sent through the chemical process (developer, bleach/fix, water baths, and dryer), very much the same as traditional wet process darkroom printing, resulting in a true photographic print. This process has been around much longer than inkjet printing, and is every bit as archival. Our prints are truly exhibition quality prints, whether for the gallery in New York, or in your home!

When purchasing a print from Exploring Light Photography, you can expect amazing color and detail as you would enjoy in a fine art gallery. Turnaround time is 2-4 weeks. This is because unlike automated print services, I prepare photographs to print for each order individually. This is a time consuming process which involves making changes in luminance, color and contrast based on the paper used, as well as sharpening for the final output print size. All of this takes time, but ensures that you will be thrilled with the final result.

Limited Edition prints (LEPs) are exhibition quality, gallery prints produced strictly and exclusively in editions of 200 or fewer. When the edition is sold out, no additional prints will ever be made. These prints are highly limited, and very exclusive. Limited Edition Prints are registered and shipped with a hand signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity (COA), which guarantees the original work. LEPs are priced according to the number remaining in the edition, with prices increasing in tiers of 50. Edition numbers 1-25 are Artist Reserves, and will be released at my discretion when the edition has sold out.

These are not prints you would expect from the photo lab around the corner... we use only the highest quality professional paper and press available, and adhere to the highest standards for printing in the industry. Fine Art Prints are printed on FujiFlex SuperGloss professional paper, with a unique polyester base that gives it an incredible gloss and creates a depth and dimensionality with colors so rich and deep, they have to be seen to be believed. FujiFlex SuperGloss is unmatched in terms of color, contrast, and vibrance necessary to bring the landscape to life. In the proper lighting conditions, the colors really jump off the print! Black and White prints are printed on Ilford Galerie Silk paper, long regarded as a top choice for monochrome prints. Canvas prints are printed on Luna Artist Canvas 340, which far surpasses the usual Giclee canvas print.

Most prints are shipped flat using only archival packing material and reinforcements. Many large canvas and acrylic mounted prints are shipped in a custom crate.
