Recently many people asked us why we no longer offer a *digitals only* package and as to why we are transitioning to an artwork-at-home platform.
This has been our creative goal from the beginning. As such, we are incredibly excited to introduce our three Signature Art Collections this coming February.
In this blogpost, we want to share with you some of the reasons why we are passionate about pursuing this new direction.
If you invested in getting beautiful images captured, you will not only want the digital photographs, it is likely that you will want a few of these photographs printed and enjoyed in your living space. In a world full of different options and price points, you might wonder “why pay your photographer more for prints?”. Well, we are here to give you not one – not three – but eleven important reasons why you should always get your photographs printed and framed from your professional photographer.
1. Professional Quality
For the most part, professional photographers really care about the quality of their work. This is our job, our creative purpose, the intrinsic driver of why we do what we do – we want to create meaningful art for others, for you. At Pooch in the Park Photography, we believe the creative work we put out into the world deserves to be fully finished with high quality printing and custom framing. We have hand picked premium products that showcase the style of our work in large print. To upgrade our services further, we invested in a professional grade printer and materials for our small prints and cards. Investing in our services in this way allows us to ensure every print ordered is finished to a high quality standard.
2. Expert Editing and Colour Correction
Any good professional photographer we know will spend hours (let’s be real, many hours) scrupulously editing their images to ensure all elements are perfect. This creative process is different for every photographer and results in a multitude of unique styles and aesthetics. In addition to editing, photographers are highly skilled in ensuring digital images are sent to printers in a format that renders the most accurate colour. We account for variations in photographic elements that are often not considered when ordering prints from a generic printer.
3. Long-lasting Prints
Professional prints and frames use archival-quality paper, inks, frames and UV protected glass. What does ‘archival-quality’ mean? It means the materials used are designed to last for decades without fading or deteriorating. It means your photographs and memories are protected against damage from mould caused by accumulated damp in the environment, ensuring your images remain beautiful for years to come.
4. Custom Sizing
We are all different. The art work and decor we choose for our home should reflect our personalities. Our services provide custom sizes that fit your specific needs and space, ensuring that your print is perfectly suited for your home or office decor. Your memories done your way.
5. Wide Range of Finishes and Materials
We are focused in offering high quality materials and fine art framing to our clients. Within this framework (pun intended), we offer all clients options of finishes, glass and framing materials. We take time to go through the details of each material in our ordering appointment. You will also be able to see and feel real samples. This allows you to choose the best option that enhances the aesthetic of your photographs.
6. Attention to Detail
Professional photographers are meticulous – borderline obsessed – about every aspect of the shooting, editing and printing process, from the image resolution to the final presentation. We would argue you have to be a little obsessed to do this work well.
7. Service personalized to you
When you order prints directly from us, you will get personalized service. We can advise you on the best prints for your space, and you can have direct communication about any custom requests. During the viewing and ordering appointment, we carefully listen to your preferences and personal style.
8. Fine Art Prints
We offer fine art framed prints that are not only photos but works of art. They add a touch of sophistication and elegance to any room. The additional benefit of having a frame is to protect the print for much longer.
9. Unique pieces of art
Every order is unique. The wood used for each custom frame is made to order and slightly unique in it’s colour, so you walk away with a unique frame and print.
10. Time Saving
We handle the entire process—from shooting, editing, printing and delivery—saving you the hassle of navigating printing services yourself. We also hand deliver all pieces within the Vancouver area at no additional cost once your pieces have arrived.
11. Support the Artist and your Local Creative Community
Ordering directly from your professional photographer ensures that they receive a fair share of the payment for their work, supporting them in continuing to create and share their art. At Pooch in the Park Photography, we go the extra mile by working with an experienced local custom printer and framer who works with professional photographers and artists regularly. By investing in us, you directly invest in the creative talent within your own community as well as choosing the most environmentally friendly option.
