Unique Prints

When I took up photography, I accepted the prevailing norm, which was to print multiple editions of individual images. My idea about that has changed, and what I want to do with unique prints is transfer as much benefit and significance as possible to the collector.

The unique print edition is twofold, consisting of a 1/1 edition and an artist's proof (A/P). The A/P exists so that if your print is included in a show, the series from which it comes and your print have the possibility of becoming more valuable by association.

Editions

Unless explicitly stated, each print will be part of a limited edition. Editioning ensures that the number of copies of an image is limited. In doing this, the value is ensured by maintaining scarcity.

Artist’s proofs (APs) are prints which form a legitimate part of an image’s edition. They are generally test prints that have been produced in the run-up to printing the final versions of the edition.

As editions of an image sell out, the price of the edition generally increases.

Photographs will be signed on the front if there is a white border, and on the back (verso) if there is no white border.

Paper and Printing

Unless otherwise stated, prints are made on archival papers, such as Hahnemühle cotton rag and baryta. The paper, printing process and size of each work are listed on its product page.

Artworks that derive from the broadsheet MEMORY CARD SEA POWER are typically printed on newsprint, as per the description.

Framing

Some works are sold framed, and the framing (for example kiaat, black aluminium, DIASEC or museum glass) is described on the product page. Unframed prints can be framed on request. Please contact me for options and prices.

Paying in Instalments

You can pay for a print in two or three parts. Please contact me to arrange this.

Sizing

120 x 100 cm framed artwork.

The longest dimension listed in the buying options refers to the print’s longest dimensions, even if the print’s orientation differs from the listed length/width dimensions.

The dimensions listed are as accurate as I can make them within the software's limits and very slight crops occur from time to time.

Where you see the International Standard paper sizes(A1, A2, A3...) listed as buying options the print will fit, maximally, within the dimensions listed to the left.

So, for example, if you choose a square image at A1 size the print would be

594mm x 594 mm. Please contact me if you have any queries.
