ABOUT OUR PHOTOGRAPHS
Our original, one-of-a-kind photographic prints are made from high-resolution digital images of a variety of real botanicals including flowers, vegetables and herbs. The images are printed onto specially coated fine art papers and canvas using EPSON UltraChrome™ pigment inks. These fine art substrates are similar to those used by traditional artists working in watercolor and oil paint. The papers we use are acid and lignin free and made by world-renowned manufacturers such as Innova Art, Hahnemühle and Fuji Hunt.
By using Epson UltraChrome™ ink technology, we are able to produce archival prints with outstanding color accuracy and unsurpassed image stabilty. These high quality prints are referred to in the art world as Giclée. Our professionally made Giclée prints offer collectors the opportunity to own original limited-edition photographs that capture the beauty, color, subtlety and detail of the original botanical. All edition images are signed and numbered in limited-editions of 150. We also offer open edition and "one of a kind" custom photographs. Please CONTACT US with your ideas - we can make them happen!
