With Jesse's philosophy in mind, we've
invested in state of the art equipment which allows us to provide
custom reproductions at a price that everyone can afford. These
prints are created here in our own studio, and Jesse personally
reviews each piece before it leaves to be matted and framed. If
you have any questions about how we do this and how your new print
may compare to a print you already have, please contact Sarah Elder
at (919) 932-2617 or
And to see what other people are saying about our prints, please
see our In The News page.
If you can’t find what you want
here, we can probably create it for you. Just contact us at

patented Indoor/Outdoor Vinyl and UV inks which guard against
deterioration due to direct sunlight. This has a smooth surface
with a semi-matte finish that works very well with Jesse's
photographs. This product is also easy to handle and like
canvas, rolls easily without creasing. The wall murals that
hang in Jesse's home are printed on this material. |

About Silver Gelatin Prints
The Definition
The silver gelatin process is the photographic process used with currently available black and white films and printing papers.
The Process
A suspension of silver salts in gelatin is coated onto acetate film, fiber based, or resin coated paper and allowed to dry (hence the term dry plate). These materials remain stable for months and years unlike the “wet plate” materials that preceded them.
The Quality
Silver gelatin prints typically give deep rich blacks and crisp whites on a high gloss paper. They have excellent archival properties, lasting more than 100 years without visible fading if kept carefully.
The Market
Judging from auction prices and gallery exhibitions, the fine art market seems more interested than ever in the silver gelatin print. Obvious reasons for this include its handcrafted nature, depth of image, quality of tones, overwhelming beauty, lengthy tradition, and the fact that it utilizes a precious metal.
Photography is entering a similar phase where the handcrafted object, and the properties that make a silver gelatin print unique, are taking on a new significance. This credo was made famous by the late Robert Heinecken who said,“The photograph is not a picture of something but is an object about something.”
About Giclees
The Definition
Giclée (zhee-klay) - is a French term meaning to spray or squirt, which is how an inkjet printer works.
The Process
Images are generated from high resolution digital files and printed with archival quality inks onto various substrates including canvas, fine art, and photo-base paper. In giclée printing, no screen or other mechanical devices are used and therefore there is no visible dot screen pattern. The image has all the tonalities and hues of the original piece of art. The giclée printing process also provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.
The Quality
When it comes to fine art reproduction technology, painters and photographers consider giclée prints to be a terrific medium because of their beauty, colors, and resolution. The quality of the giclée print approximates traditional silver-halide and gelatin printing processes and is widely accepted by artists of all mediums, including photographers.
The Market
The market for giclée prints is transforming. Years ago, giclée prints were frowned upon by the traditional professional and fine art photography market. Today, however, photographers are starting to issue limited edition giclée prints and the medium is gaining acceptance as an important one for photography, especially for large scale and modern art (digitally created) images.
Our Giclées
We use giclées as an affordable option for reproductions, not to be confused with our hand-printed, limited edition silver prints. In addition, the terrific flexibility of our inkjet printers allows us to print on demand and at nearly any size. Ultimately, we believe that everyone should have access to affordable art - and our line of giclées makes it possible for us to deliver on that promise. |
