Photographing Hexriver Valley De Doorns


The Hexriver Valley in De Doorns is one of those photographic hotspots that like the Namaqualand flower season must be planned well in advance to be able to capture just at the right time. It was also one o f my photographic target locations for this year. I say planned because one can also only plan to a certain degree depending on one’s work commitments and the weather. Being a professional photographer however makes this easier as one can at the d...

Why should limited edition improve the value or quality of Photos

March 9, 2014
The ethics of limited editions.

Guy Tal exactly describes my feelings without exception so why try to re write my feelings. Please read.

"Some time ago, I referred to photography as a field “fraught with cognitive dissonance.” One such example, in my mind, is the strange practice of limiting print editions. Try as I might, I cannot reconcile the notion of edition limits with what to me are some of the most compelling and advantageous reasons to pursue photography as art, or art via photogra...

Print on Perspex - Acrylic glass

February 11, 2014

Acrylic Glass – Perspex.

Reverse printing onto Perspex gives images a high gloss finish and an almost 3 dimensional look. Four layers of ink are printed on the reverse of 2mm thick Perspex and when the white ink option is turned off with Perspex printing, it allows the white areas in the design/image to be transparent. It is a more affordable way to display images than the diasec method.

Hanging mechanisms are attached to our Perspex prints for easy hanging.

Diasec

February 11, 2014

Probably the most impressive way and most popular to  display colourful images is as diasec in my Kleinmond photographic gallery.  There various options to frame a diasec. All my images are available in diasec.

Print on Metal -aluminium

This print of a wild fig tree species on the oldest and first main route out of Cape Town by early settlers in the Caledon area onto aluminium is a relatively new way of displaying fine art and other images. It works particularly well when the images are carefully selected to compliment the photo. It particularly enhances the artistic feel of images captured specifically with this method in mind as an end product.

 When printing onto Aluminium the white ink option ...
