Because all prints are made to order, I’m unable to accept returns or exchanges. Please double-check sizing and details before placing your order. If the print arrives damaged, please contact me within 7 days of delivery with photo proof, and I'll send a replacement at no additional cost.

I take the utmost care to ensure your order arrives in excellent condition. Prints are sealed in protective sleeves and carefully packaged for safe delivery. Smaller prints are shipped flat in rigid mailers with reinforced cardboard backing to prevent bending. Larger pieces are gently rolled and shipped in heavy-duty tubes or boxes for maximum protection. All packaging is sourced from recycled or eco-friendly materials to help reduce environmental impact.

A film print begins as an analog photograph, shot on 35mm or medium format film using a traditional film camera. The negative is developed in the darkroom, then professionally scanned at high resolution and printed on premium photo paper using modern printing technology (inkjet/Giclée). The final print preserves the unique grain, texture, and tonal richness of film — qualities that digital cameras can't replicate. Each piece is made to order and printed at a top-tier lab.

Handmade entirely in the darkroom, these black-and-white prints are created directly from film negatives using a traditional process that was the standard throughout the 20th century. After the film is developed, the negative is placed in an enlarger, which projects the image onto light-sensitive paper coated with silver salts suspended in gelatin. During processing, the silver salts are transformed into fine metallic silver particles embedded in the gelatin layer, forming the final image. The result is a rich, timeless print with depth and character. Each Silver Gelatin print is a one-of-a-kind object — no two are exactly alike!

Yes! I’d be happy to create a custom print just for you. While all prints are typically sold unframed and unmatted, I can accommodate special requests — such as framing or ready-to-hang options — especially for gifts. Feel free to send me a message through the "Request Custom Order" button, and we can work out the details together.
