Prints, Matting and Framing
I use Fotomoto, and you should see “Buy Print” and some “Share” links below my photos on this site (if you don’t see the links, please disable NoScript and AdBlock on my pages, or specifically allow Fotomoto).
Fotomoto is an industry leader that quickly handles your printing and shipping orders for my photos from anywhere, with a million custom printing and matting options for you to choose from.
My costs for locally and personally delivered prints with archival-quality Epson Claria inks and Epson Photo Glossy paper (comparable to Fotomoto’s Fine Art print options), up to 13×19″, are:
4×6”- $10
5×7”- $20
8×10”/8½x11”- $30
13×19”- $50
Matting and framing for my locally and personally delivered prints is available. My charges will reflect a market comparison.
Delivery
Local, personal delivery in and around Denver is free of charge. A variety of shipping options are available, especially using the Fotomoto “Buy Print” links below each of my pictures on this site.
Depending on the client and particular shoot, electronic delivery may be made using an easily accessed and shared Dropbox folder that I can provide to each client, at prices less than comparable Fotomoto download pricing. If you are not familiar with Dropbox, you simply click on a provided link, and the folder instantly shows up on your desktop, ready to collaborate in and invite your family and friends to, and then automatically and instantly sync back and forth among all users. Delivery can also be made on cd or via email.
Mileage
Shoots outside the Denver-metro area incur a $0.55/mile charge by car, in accordance with current IRS standards for business related reimbursement. Other travel considerations may be negotiated.
Payment
I accept Paypal, Zelle, Venmo, cash and cashier’s checks, as well as company checks from established venues, artists, and production companies.
Copyrights and Contracts
I typically maintain the copyrights to my photos and agree to usage rights for clients. I am open to contractual agreements in accordance with entertainment and industry standards.
