The Art of Printing and Selling Your Art
It has been said that the print is the ultimate expression of the photographer’s art. Truly great prints are the result of a convergence between technical excellence and strong artistic vision. Having someone else print your work means relinquishing a portion of the technical and artistic control needed to realize your vision, unless you are prepared to spend hours, or days working collaboratively with a truly good commercial printer. Assuming of course that you can find one willing to take the time to work with you to help you realize your artistic goals.

Everyone knows you can photograph events like weddings in a series, but can you also create an exciting series from everyday moments? YES, you can!
In photography we often focus on getting that one perfect shot. You know, the end-all-be-all image that encapsulates everything that happened. In Authentic Photo Stories we take the opposite approach…by celebrating the many “real life” moments to create a series of images that captures how it felt to be there.
