I currently offer prints on two fine-art archival papers: Epson Ultra Premium Luster and Fuji Crystal Archive Supergloss.

The Epson Luster paper has the look and feel of a fine-art photograph, with an intermediate texture to glossy and matte surfaces. It is an excellent choice for color, and the only choice that I offer for black and white photographs because of its ability to produce incredibly deep and rich neutral tones.

Fuji Supergloss has an amazing glass-like surface with intense, saturated colors and fantastic tonal range. Prints seem to "glow from within." It is extremely reflective and therefore particularly prone to "cockling," necessitating cold-mounting for larger prints.

All prints are from a limited edition series and signed, dated, and numbered in the bottom margin. If you prefer an unsigned print, please let me know at the time of your order.

Select from one of the follow three options for mounting your fine-art print for framed display. (Please choose the option corresponding to the size of the print that you've ordered in step 1.)

1. Traditional hinge mounting (free). Included in the cost of your frame purchase. Excellent results for smaller prints on Luster surfaces. Larger prints should be cold-mounted to prevent bulging, rippling, and sagging of the print from developing over time. [Learn more] or continue to [Framing options]
2. Cold-mounting to Foamcore board. Great for Luster prints, recommended for sizes above 12 x 18 inches. Can be used for mounting Supergloss but aluminum is preferred.
3. Cold-mounting to Aluminum sheets. Outstandingly strong and uniform surface. Recommended for Supergloss prints of all sizes, essential for sizes larger than 12 x 18 inches.

For framing, I use ¾-inch wide solid wood frames with a polished matte black finish, thick, 8-ply pure white mats, and clear acrylic plexiglass to protect your print. Alternatively, I can recommend excellent framers in the bay area if you require more flexibility in frame styles, sizes, or materials. Please choose from the following options that correspond to your selected print size.

A standard frame with a 2- or 3-inch mat will look identical to those displayed in my exhibitions. Mat width is personal preference; most people prefer either 2 or 3 inches. If you would like a wider mat border, let me know and I will be happy to provide a quote.

A recessed back frame is a great-looking alternative to the standard frame. Your print must be cold-mounted on a strong surface first (e.g., aluminum), then a recessed wooden frame is attached to the back of that material. To protect the print from scratches and dust, a thin sheet of acrylic plexiglass is placed directly on top of the print. This method gives the print a "floating" appearance since it hovers in front of the wall without a frame or mat.
