Owning and Enjoying Fine Art Photographs

Meet The Artist

When someone chooses one of my fine art pieces, I want the experience to feel deeply rewarding. Owning a beautifully printed photograph is very different from scrolling past an image on a phone or computer—it’s something you live with every day. A fine print brings presence, depth, and emotion into your space, becoming part of your life and your story.

I often describe my work as visions beyond documentation. While I begin with a camera, the process goes further—through careful post-production and creative choices—so that each image becomes more than a picture. My goal is for every piece to carry an emotional range that speaks to you long after the moment of capture.

To help you enjoy your artwork for years to come, I’ve created an ART FAQ, a simple resource with practical advice drawn from curators, collectors, and museum professionals. It covers best practices for caring for fine art photographs, so your prints remain as vibrant and enduring as the day they arrive.

Whether you’re adding a piece to your home, building a collection, or curating a professional space, the most important factor is always the same: your personal connection to the work. That connection is what transforms a photograph into your artwork—something that resonates with you and continues to bring meaning over time.

Art FAQ

Ensure the authenticity of the artwork by obtaining a signed certificate of authenticity (COA) from the artist. I provide a COA for all of my work. This features a serialized hologram to verify genuine artwork or a signed certificate.

Each COA includes provenance information detailing the creation of each print. This is essential when reselling a piece of artwork.

All my prints are signed in the lower right-hand corner of the photo. Limited-edition prints will also include the edition numbers on the left-hand corner.

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 to 2 inches, depending on the image selected, 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 be available in several sizes, and each size constitutes an edition.

Fine art prints are also available as open editions, where the number of prints of an image is not limited. Consequently, the acquisition value of these images is usually less than that of limited editions. Open Editions are an effective way to own great art for your home and office décor needs.

Substrates, which are the proper name for the paper upon which the images are printed, are an important consideration. In all cases, they should be certified as archival, which means they will provide superior visual depth and longevity, but also ensure that your investment retains its new printed condition over time. I choose certified archival substrates that provide a tactile quality and tone of faithfulness for the image I’m printing.

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

Regular maintenance 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 can mar the artwork's beauty. Frame your work, display it, 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 their greater potential scarcity.

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