Our standard prints are printed on the highest quality paper available. For sizes 8x10 or larger, we mount the photo on a 2mm styrene backboard which makes the photo resistant to bending. Use this form to order our standard prints or use the custom order to purchase albums and other a la carte items.

  Lewis Photography takes every measure to provide you with the highest quality prints possible. The first step to producing a high-quality print is to take a high-quality photograph. There are many so-called fixes that can be made in photoshop, but we feel that getting the shot right from the start will help down the road. The second step is color calibration of our monitor/lcd. In order to ascertain the true temperature of the light (sunlight is vastly different from flourescent lighting), you must have a properly calibrated monitor. We calibrate our monitor once a month. The last step in the process is to send the image to a professional photo laboratory--would you believe there are "professional" photographers that take there images to Costco or even Walmart to have them printed? I am not knocking those establishments, but those printing machines do not receive the regular consistency checks a pro lab machine receives.

  There are several options available to our clients with regard to printing services. Texture refers to any patterns on the finished surface of the photograph. There are four texture options available: none, linen (my personal favorite), pebble, and embassy. Linen texture looks as though the photo was printed on a linen garment. The pebble texture looks like the photo was printed onto a leather basketball. The embassy texture is a combination of the two. My descriptions do not do these textures any justice at all. I would only recommend using a texture if the print size is larger than 5x7 because it tends to make fine detail a little more difficult to see. In the past, all of the prints I sent out to clients larger than 5x7 had the linen print pre-applied. The Color option gives the client the ability to select a print in color, black and white, or in sepia. This is one of the many benefits of shooting digitally. All images are originally captured in color. However, using a digital editing program like photoshop or bibble pro gives photographers the ability to convert their images to black and white or sepia. It also allows us to make color tweaks and exposure corrections (which is done before you ever see the photos). The next option box, Finishing allows the client to select between a protective spray or metallic print. The protective spray is used on standard prints to protect them and give a nice sheen. There is a 5% surcharge, but in my opinion it is easily worth it. The other option is a metallic paper, which is a great way to really bring out the details in a photo. Metallic prints are very glossy and almost glow. They make colors more vivid and make black and white prints have a silvery shine. There is a 15% surcharge for this feature. You cannot select both a metallic print and the spray finish because they are not compatible.
