Subjects On This Page:
Bookbuyer’s Special Discount:
Photograph buyers who have purchased books direct (online via this website) can have the cost deducted from the purchase price of limited edition photographs ordered direct.
Please note:
- The cost of one book purchased can be deducted per photograph ordered.
- This offer only applies to full price sales (not discounted stock).
- The deduction can only be made within 24 months of online book purchases.
- The deduction must be requested by you when the limited edition photograph is bought because no cash or retrospective refunds can be issued.
Book buyers number in the thousands and unfortunately there is no room in my memory for a complete record of buyers, hence the offer is limited to online buyers, and there is no administrative time spare to sort out retrospective claims.
This special discount has to be calculated manually so please arrange and pay for your photographs by email, phone, fax or by mail if you would like to claim the book buyer's deduction/refund. Or do it the simplest way - order your photographs online and send me an email on the same day requesting the credit for books purchased, and I will refund the cost of books back onto your credit card straight away.
Administration records are checked prior to issuing refunds so I need the full name & contact details used when the books were ordered.
Layby Service:
Photographs that are printed and framed especially for you, can be put on layby. It is not always possible to layby stock in current exhibitions nor stock on special; this can only be arranged in some circumstances.
A deposit is required with layby orders:
- 40% of order total; however the initial deposit made must be at least $300
- plus a $30.00 administration fee per layby (up to 6 photographs)
Photographs can be put on layby for up to 3 months. Regular payments are not necessary however laybys must be paid in full within 3 calendar months of the date of order or the layby deposit is forfeited (please refer to the date given on your layby receipt). As photographs are printed and framed when ordered, no refunds can be issued due to a change of mind. Photographs put on layby are sent to purchasers as soon as possible after payments in full have been processed.
Laybys are also very useful if you don't have anywhere to store a surprise present purchased in advance.
Laybys have to be organised manually (rather than online) so please arrange and pay for a layby by email, phone, fax or by mail.
Delivery Time:
Quality takes time to create and these photographs are not mass-produced. Each photograph is unique. I may have the photograph you want already printed and framed, in which case it can be sent to you within a day or two. However the majority of photographs are printed when they are ordered. Ordinarily it is necessary to allow 2 weeks for printing and 2 weeks for framing, plus travel time. It gets very busy in the lead up to Christmas so Christmas orders should be made by mid October to ensure delivery on time. It is usually not possible to provide photographic prints during December & January, and during other extra-busy periods (eg. during book production). If you have placed an order and there will be a delivery delay of more than six weeks, you will be notified. If you have a specific deadline please ring me to discuss delivery times.
Colour Variations:
The colours of the photographic prints are more subtle and accurate than those you see on your computer screen, in books and other publications.
Image Sizes and Variations:
The sizes listed are the traditionally standard photographic paper sizes, they are not the exact size of the printed images. This is because the proportions of images taken on 35mm film are slightly different to the standard photographic paper sizes. Also, some images have been cropped so that they are narrower or shorter than the original image size.
Some photographs can be printed much larger, for an extra cost — please enquire if you are interested.
Photographic Printing:
Watermark:
The watermark logo does not appear on the photographic prints. It is only visible on the web page images to assist identification of unauthorised copies and to deter illegal copiers.
Limited Edition Art:
All photographic prints produced are limited editions. Once the full number of prints in the edition has been made, no more will be produced. Once printing has commenced, edition runs are sometimes reduced, but they are never expanded. A reduction in the size of an edition run increases the value of all photographic prints of the image concerned (because the scarcity value is increased). Most images are editions of 15 or less - and some images are printed as few as 3 times. The gallery states the maximum number of photographic prints that will be made of each image, and it also lists the price that applies to the current edition number. Prices rise toward the end of the edition.
Certificates of Authenticity:
A Certificate of Authenticity can be mailed to every photograph purchaser who has provided current contact details. The certificate lists the photograph details such as the title and edition number and it is hand signed and numbered. Please note that these are original documents that cannot be replaced if lost, and they are only supplied to purchasers who can provide proof of purchase - including the image titles and edition numbers.

Specials:
Occasionally some limited edition photographs are available at special prices. Sale stock is usually framed exhibition-quality work, discounted simply to reduce the amount of storage space required in-between exhibitions. There may be a minor mark or two on the frames however these marks would not be noticeable when the artwork is hung on the wall and do not detract from the value or appearance of the photograph. Previous buyers of full-price photographs usually receive a larger discount. If time allows, people on the mailing list are notified when there are specials available, however to avoid missing out, it is best to regularly check the 'news' section on the home page, or the Specials page.
Please note - sometimes limited edition photograph specials are not listed online, and this means they can't be paid for online (as the website will charge the price listed on the website). Special prices quoted directly to you must be ordered and paid for by phone or fax. When there is a sale on, it is best to ring as soon as possible to avoid missing out, because there is generally only one of each available at the reduced price.
