Purchase Information

All of the photographs on this website are available for purchase as fine-art prints. The photographs are printed by the artist himself with the utmost attention to detail and quality on selected fine-art, archival-quality papers using high quality pigmented inks.

Although great care has been taken to accurately represent the fine-art prints, colors and brightness of photos presented in the online gallery and portfolio may differ from the actual photograph due to individual screen settings and color accuracy of your monitor.


Gallery Edition

All gallery edition fine-art prints are individually numbered and hand-signed by the artist on the back of the print and are only available as a limited edition of 25. With your delivery you will receive a certificate of authenticity stating the serial number of your print. A tamper proof hologram is placed on the back of the print as well as on the front of the certificate ensuring the authenticity of the limited edition fine-art print.

The photographs are printed on 420 × 594 mm (16.5 x 23.4 in) fine-art paper, leaving a white border for your convenience to ease matting of the prints.

Matting and Framing Options

Blueskies Photography uses only archival-quality mat board and backing from Nielsen. The fine-art prints will be matted with a neutral white mat and are ready to frame. The front of the mat will show the number of the print and the artist's signature.

The mat size is approx. 770 x 590 mm (30.3 x 23.2 in) depending on the orientation of the print with a minimum border of 110 mm (4.3 in) at the bottom and 80 mm (3.1 in) at all the other sides. All mats with the same orientation will have matching heights by varying the bottom border for a pleasing viewing experience if you choose to place prints with the same orientation side by side. The mat height of square prints will match the mat heigth of landscape oriented prints.

We offer two frame designs with up to six different colors. The matted photographs are framed using Nielsen highest quality aluminum frames and ClearColour® PLUS UV glass for UV protection with true and brilliant colors unimpaired by reflections.
