Purchasing
I used to have an elaborate system of online shopping carts.
However, virtually all customers ended up contacting me with
questions anyway so now I just do everything by phone or email.
So, to buy photos simply contact me at (602) 448-6746 or
DaveWilsonImages@gmail.com. I can answer any questions,
including those about pricing and photo formats.
Please note,
however, that many frequently asked questions are answered below.
Most orders take 8 to 10 business days to process and ship
Most photos are sent via UPS or FedEx (although
USPS may be used in some cases).
Shipping is free.
I can ship almost anywhere in the world.
Visa, MasterCard and Discover Card sales can be
handled by phone or email (or in person if you're local).
Cash and checks can be mailed to me (or given in person)
although checks may delay shipping a few days until they clear.
Photo Formats and Pricing
Photos are available in many formats including canvas
prints, metal prints, traditional prints on paper, and more.
Prices may vary depending on a customer's individual
specifications (I can help you with that in person).
However, so you may get a general idea of cost, the
following prices reflect the most common types of orders.
Traditional Prints on Photo Paper
The prices below are for photo paper with a Lustre finish
(lustre is more vibrant than matte paper yet
not highly reflective like glossy paper).
Below are the most common sizes. These sizes
have a 2:3 ratio, which is proportional to most
photos these days including most of my own.
Below are sizes for photos with a 4:5 ratio. A small percentage of my
photos are cropped to these sizes. If one of my photos looks a little
more
"square" (as opposed to "long") it probably fits one of the following sizes.
Canvas Prints (ready to hang)
There are many ways to print photographs on canvas, with many options.
The following pricing is for my most common scenario, which includes
a giclée
print on fine art canvas, stretched over an internal wooden frame. The artwork's
sides are 1.5-inches deep and a solid color, which can be any color you wish.
A glossy laminate protects the photograph and allows it to be lightly wiped off
with a
damp cloth. A wire on the back allows for easy hanging on a wall.

more
"square" (as opposed to "long") it probably fits one of the following sizes.
The above suggested format does not require
an external frame. The canvas is ready to hang!
However, frames ARE available for canvas
prints for those who prefer them.

Metal Prints (ready to hang)
There are various ways to print photographs on metal.
The following pricing is for my most common scenario, which
includes a high-gloss print with a half-inch-deep wall mount
on the back (the print "floats" a half-inch from the wall).
No frame needed. It's a bold, clean look that's ready to hang!

More About Metal Prints
Metal prints, which are made from thin sheets of
aluminum, are one of my favorite formats and are
how most of my work is displayed at art shows.
A special heat process (conducted by a professional photo
lab) actually fuses ink into the aluminum. The final product
doesn't
look "metallic". Rather, it simply looks like an incredibly
sharp, vibrant photograph. The detail and luminescence of metal
prints makes them ideal for high-end gallery presentations.
The surface cleans very easily and is scratch-resistant.
The metal also resists fading better than traditional prints on paper.
As mentioned, most metal prints are sold with a wall mount on the back.
All you need to display the print is a single nail (or two) in the wall.
It's a bold, clean look that's ready to hang!
However, metal prints ARE available with frames for those who prefer them.

The front of a metal print looks like...well...like a beautiful photograph.
The photo below shows the back of a metal print with a wall mount.
