FAQ
Are your images 'Photoshopped'?
Yes. Any digital photographer who says that they are not using editing software to make their photos ready to print is probably not being truthful. The amount of data collected by a digital camera is huge, and the RAW files often look flat and colorless compared to what is seen with the naked eye. Using digital software today is analogous to using a darkroom decades ago. What I do NOT do is add objects or textures to images that were not part of the original photo file.
Are your photos 'AI'?
I do not add any objects or textures to any of my pieces, including by the use of artificial intelligence (AI). I do use some sharpening software that is technically AI, but it is only removing slight lens or motion blur.
Is that your photograph/art? I have seen it somewhere before...
All of the photography and art for sale is 100% original. Any similarity to another artist's work is coincidence. A common cause for similar photography is shooting a popular subject like Mount Rushmore. Similarity in art can be attributed to using techniques or styles developed by another artist, but the subject matter and resulting piece is 100% original, such as painting a flower in the style of Georgia O'Keefe.
Are your photographs/art prints limited editions?
The photographs are NOT sold in limited editions. All of the handmade art prints are produced in limited editions, and they are numbered and signed accordingly.
Are your photographs/art prints signed?
The photography is not signed, because I am not a fan of signatures on the face of photography prints. The photo prints are not signed on the back because they are shipped to you directly from the printer. If you would like to have a signature on the face of the print, include a message on the order or contact me before ordering and I will add a small, feint signature for you.
All of the handmade art prints include edition number, title, and signature at the bottom of the piece. Some prints may have my 'chop' symbol in place of a signature.
