Prints

My prints are beautifully luxurious, I personally make each one to a standard that does justice to the image. Prints can be made on fine art cotton rag papers - the surface and tactile feel is wonderful - or canvas. My printing process, pigment inks on archival media, is as good as it gets today. Some people call this giclee printing.

on Fine Art Paper

Prints are made on 100% cotton-rag art papers from Hahnemühle or Canson. 

They are finished in a plain white mat, sealed in a clear pack, ready to put in a standard 16x20 (40x50 cm) frame, $250.

For larger sizes, up to 1m wide by several metres long, please ask me.

on Canvas

Textured cotton canvas is printed with pigment inks and then stretched over a wooden frame (‘gallery wrapped’).

The finished print is laminated to provide a fade-free, moisture resistant canvas.  The result is ready to hang, made to the highest archival standards.

As a rough guide current prices are approximately $270 for small prints (around 26x40 cm), $375 for mid sized (around 40x60 cm) or $575 for larger prints (100x32, 50x80 cm). Even larger prints available, most sizes possible.

Ordering

Because these are not mass-produced most people talk to me directly then I print to suit. Just contact me with details of the photograph you are interested in and I will give you a firm price and delivery time.

Shipping

I have shipped prints all over the world without any trouble. Small prints ordered via Paypal will have a small shipping charged added, for larger prints I'll include the exact cost in your quote.

Perspectives ~ the book

bill irwin landscape photography bookPerspectives Mid Canterbury is a 64 page hardcover A5 sized book of landscape photographs around the Mid Canterbury region of the South Island, with a recommended retail price of $29.

Mid Canterbury has diverse scenery. Half the county is in the foothills and beyond; untouched high country lakes and mountains. Within the landscape there is much detail, from an old barbwire-encrusted strainer post to patterns in the land only visible from the air. Crop farming is a big part of Mid Canterbury and the abstract patterns produce mesmerising images. This book is a perfect size to mail. Locals buy it to show others where we live; people passing through buy it as a reminder of their visit. Some people just buy it for the collection of landscape photographs!

Where can I buy the book?

The book is stocked in Mid Canterbury book stores and iSites. You can also order directly from me, I will send it anywhere in the world. You can use Paypal, send a cheque, or direct credit.

Bulk Purchases The book is an ideal for local businesses to promote our area, or to use as a corporate gift. I can personalise the books with your company logo and details. Discounts are available for bulk purchases of 10 or more books; please contact me for details.
