FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY

Information about Steve’s photographic art and how you can purchase his works.

Materials used when producing Fine Art Photography works

Photographic Prints

These are professionally printed on a rich Kodak Endura 260gsm luste stock. This is a beautiful paper that provides a medium to highlight the subtlest of tonal variations across each image. Printing inks used are high quality pigment inks and in combination with the Endura, provide an archival quality print stable for 70 to 100 years to come.

Mounted or Matted Photographic Prints

You can purchase prints mounted ready for you to frame. Each image has an attractive white art matt board surround and is mounted on a foamcore backing board. This is an excellent way to have your art piece prepared and allows you the freedom to choose framing materials that suit your decor.

Stretch Mounted Canvas

The same high quality pigment inks are used to print canvas works. The canvas used is a high quality cotton polyester blend, hand stretched over a stable lightweight timber frame. The polyester brings strength to the medium whilst the cotton provides a woven texture displaying the traditional canvas character. All images are sprayed with a semi-gloss flexible acrylic sealer. The sealer, whilst adding a dust and scuff resistance to the canvas, also contains UV (ultra-violet) absorbers specifically designed to inhibit harmful light rays penetrating the surface and degrading the inks. This entire construction process adds immeasurably to the longevity of the final image giving around 80 years of life.

Other mediums available upon request

Hahnemuhle Fine Art Pearl - is a fibre-based paper with an extremely delicate lustre. This is a beautiful art medium and finished prints display a very subtle texture provided by its fibre makeup. When you’re looking for something truly beautiful this 295gsm museum quality paper will certainly please.

Acrylic mounts - a very contemporary medium where a print is mounted under a high grade ultra-clear acrylic sheet. Images look surprisingly rich in colour and display a lovely strong contrast across the subjects colour range. These are very suitable for smaller areas where a standout image is required to provide a focal point. Each mount comes with a box backing ready to hang on a wall. The backing sets the image off the wall giving it a 3 dimensional look. See ‘sizes and formats’ for available options.

Art Photography

“One of the more pleasurable aspects for me is heading out with an idea in mind and returning with images that fulfil or partially fulfil this idea.

Often I’ll return with not much to show for my efforts, but I have a sense of excitement that on the next outing or two I should have success.

Of late I’ve been venturing back into seascape sunset photography and am only interested in portraying the beauty I see in our shoreline bathed in a symphony of delicate hues as day turns into evening light.

For me, I want to capture this fleeting but nonetheless dramatic dance. I see people taking their evening strolls seemingly oblivious to this visual feast but I guess they are there for differing reasons, although no doubt still enjoying the magic!

Making a Purchase and Delivery

Local buyers

Prints, mounted prints and framed prints are available as pick up orders. Delivery is also not a problem.

Buyers outside of Coffs Harbour

Unframed prints are recommended for purchase. You then can match mount and frame colours to your surrounding decor. Purchasing unframed prints also avoids a costly freight component and potential damage to glass during transit. Notwithstanding this, if you prefer to have a finished framed art piece delivered to your door, this can be arranged without a problem.

Follow the purchase prompts after choosing your size and other details. Payments are securely managed by PAYPAL using popular credit or debit cards.

Sizes and formats available

The wall area on which you’ll hang your photographic artwork will have it’s own shape. This will, to some extent, determine what shape your artwork should be. For example above a bed head, often a panoramic format works better than square or standard. With this in mind, Steve offers a variety of shapes in his photographic artworks to help you make a choice. You’ll find one of the formats below listed with each gallery image.
