Frequently Asked Questions

Here are the answers to the questions we are asked most often;

What type of paper are the photographs printed on?
Our photographs are printed on professional Kodak photography paper, the Kodak Endura Paper. This is 200 year archival quality paper printed in a professional Digital lab with some of the best equipment in the world. The photographs are made to last even though they shouldn’t be placed in direct sunlight as this may shorten the life of the photograph.

What type of print finish are your photographs?
All our photographs are printed on the Kodak Endura paper using a matt finish. A matt finish tends to stop the reflection of the photograph especially when it is behind glass.

Do you print the photographs yourself?
No, all our photographs are printed in a professional digital photographic lab. The photographs are printed using what is known as one of the best printers in the world, the Kodak LED II machine producing top quality prints.

Are the photographs taken using a digital camera?
Yes, all our photographs are taken using a high resolution digital camera.

What format do you shoot your photographs in?
I mostly shoot in RAW format.

Is the print the same photograph as the mounted one?
Yes it is exactly same photograph as the mounted one the only difference is that Ben’s signature is on the photograph with the print.

When we buy the print in the tube do we get Ben’s signature?
Yes, each photo has a digitally enhanced signature on the photograph when it is printed.

Can we put a pot on the Art Blocks?
No, the Art Blocks are for enjoying visually only. They are not pot stands and can not withstand heat on them.

How do we care for the photographs on the art blocks?
The Art Blocks are photographs so please handle the blocks with care. Pick the blocks up by the sides or the back to prevent finger marks on the photographs. If you do however get a mark on them or need to wipe the photograph to remove dust please use a microfibre cloth or something similar such as a sunglass cloth. They are soft fibers and will reduce the risk of any scratches on the photographs.

How can the art blocks be hung?
The blocks have a small hole at the back which you can use to hang the blocks by using a small nail. The nice thing about the blocks is they are wide enough that they can also stand on a mantelpiece, windowsill or bookshelf so don’t need to be hung.
