How do I purchase a print?
To purchase a print you simply visit the Purchase Prints page and choose the print, size and quantity you would like to buy then add to cart. Once you have completed shopping, proceed to the check-out from your cart. You will then be re-directed to Paypal's secure online payment gateway to make payment.

What is the quality of the print I am buying?
Prints are gallery-quality on high grade archival photographic paper. Each print is available as either an 8 inch x 12 inch (20cm x 30cm), 10 inch x 15 inch (25 cm x 37.5 cm) or 12 inch x 18 inch (30cm x 34cm) reproduction. All prints are printed on matt (lustre) photographic paper.

Original transparencies have been digitally scanned with a professional scanner at the highest resolution and all scans are printed to the highest standards at a professional photo lab.

Due to variations in different computer monitors, the colour and sharpness may vary to that of the print you will receive. The print(s) you will receive greatly exceeds the quality of the images shown here on the web. I guarantee that the colour, sharpness and clarity of the print(s) you receive will meet your highest expectations.
