Production Facilities:
We are proud of the fact that all print production is done in house to ensure we’re producing the finest quality portraits.
Our clients orders go through strict quality control, ensuring every portrait is refined and distinctive.
We finish our carefully crafted portraiture by printing to hand picked fine art papers using archival materials and large format professional fine art printers, specifically designed for ensuring artworks not only look their best but also last a lifetime.
Our production team is lead by David Haddy. His vast experience in hand printing photographs in the dark room era translated to bringing this expertise to the digital age. His skills, knowledge and refinements in print making techniques all contribute to creating our fine art portraiture.
David’s craftsmanship and mastery has placed him as an industry leader, who has consulted and printed for Australia’s top photographers.
From another well respected photographer colleague recently…. “Everyone can print but David has always made them sing”.
