Reasons To Order Prints From A Professional Photographer

Reasons To Order Prints From A Professional

Many times clients ask why purchasing prints through their professional photographer is a much better choice than a do-it-yourself option that may cost less. These days there are many, many low-cost options for non-professionals to have their digital images printed in a variety of manners; but before making a decision on how you’re going to print your images we hope you will consider these thoughts!

The Perfect Crop

Many times we go to order prints without giving thought to the cropping of the image. Most of the time, standard print sizes are a different aspect ratio, or width-to-height ratio, than the actual photograph coming out of the camera that you see on your screen. This means that parts of the image’s top, bottom, and sides will be clipped off in the final print product. There is a great art to cropping a photo for print, especially to retain the intended composition! When you order a print from us, you may rest assured it will be cropped with great care in preserving the artistic value of the image.

Color

Believe it or not, when editing your images we spend an incredible amount of time working to get the perfect color we had in mind for each photograph. It’s a painstaking process, but worth every moment! Additionally, we’ve spent considerable resource developing a strong relationship with our print lab of choice to understand the in’s and out’s of their materials, printing process, and how the colors we see on the computer screen translate to colors in their physical prints. Prints ordered from our studio are tweaked and calibrated to preserve their color from screen to print – something you won’t experience with consumer-grade printers!

An Artist’s Promise

As artists, we take each step in the process of delivering you a beautiful printed image with great care. From snapping the shutter to cropping, coloring, recommending a specific material choice for a specific photo, and double-checking your prints before handing them to you, every step is taken with the immense love and care of an artist. Nicola Borland Photography stands behind our finished prints and will not allow a sub-par product to be delivered in your hand. We promise you a stellar final product. Period.

Production Quality

There are many consumer-grade printers out there eager for your photo, canvas, or press book order – it’s true! However, at Nicola Borland Photography we order from a printing lab which specializes in crafting products specifically for professional photographers; a tough crowd to please! The attention to color, craftsmanship, archival quality, and guarantee behind the product is unparalleled. Although it may be more expensive to purchase initially, it will last for decades and present each image at its very best.
