PRINTING IS THE FINAL ACT

A photograph can live its whole life on a computer screen, but it doesn't truly arrive until it is printed.

I recently had several of my images printed by Gak Stonn's Taos Print and Photography Services, and the results are incredible. The tones feel intentional. The blacks don't collapse into mud, and the highlights are not brittle. It is the kind of print that makes you step closer, then step back again, just to see if it is really doing what your eyes think it is doing. Don't worry, it is.

It made me think about how important printing is to the art of photography. Printing matters as much as technique and eye.

If you buy a print from me, Gak will be the artist behind the printing. That matters, because he isn't just running jobs through a machine. He understands that a print isn't just a copy. It is the final form of the photograph. The finished piece. The final image that you will live with.

Taos Print emphasises that they use only archival surfaces including fine papers, canvas, and metal. They also note that they use custom ICC profiles for their printers and media to achieve a very wide color gamut, which is exactly the kind of behind-the-scenes-photography-geek-magic that makes a print feel alive instead of close enough.

What all of this means for my customers:

• Better color accuracy and tonal depth

• Materials designed to last

• Prints that look like art, not a poster that is pretending

So going forward, when you order a print from Jennifer Cartright Photography, you are getting:

• One of my images

• Printed by Gak

• Using archival processing and high-quality materials

If you are interested in ordering one of my images, just shoot me an email or give me a call and we will choose the size and surface that fits your space best. Then Gak and I will make sure the final piece lands exactly how it is meant to.
