Why would you ever bother printing your photos? We take you deep down the rabbit hole of fine art photographic prints, how to display them, the challenges, the costs, and how NOT to trim these precious works of art.
Will Amanda master the guillotine and will Dean Mcleod spill some fine-art trade secrets while I relentlessly grill him for a 'tell-all' interview?
How many times can I plug the link to my print sale? Did my camera survive last week's tragic fall from the top of my brand new Canon ImagePrograf Pro 2100 printer? There is so much to reveal in this video that you really should hit play immediately!
There's also a chance to win a signed 24x36 of some delicious landscape photography as well as a signed copy of my book - but you've gotta watch the whole thing. I'll know if you don't!
Thanks for watching

When Dean said it is a shame that many photographers go take pictures and never print their images. Ugh. Stab me in the heart! Stop talking about me!

@Brock_in_the_North 3 года назад

I found that when I started printing, my composition started to improve because i was always thinking how would it look on a wall. I'm a Macro shooter but the principles still apply. Even my landscapes started to improve a bit more but I don't shoot landscape often. I'm here for the journey and the laughs 🤣🤣🤣

I sell at art shows. I sell mostly wall art at the 36x54 or 40 x60 size, a little less the 24x36 to 32x48 and panos are good too for those with short walls (8feet high) but need the length. That's were the money is. The small paper prints for me are just filler sales that cover costs (18x24 matted under $100). People pay money to hang a center piece over a couch, dinning room, bedroom etc. in my experience. Small prints are almost not worth it. Great video. Printing one's own paper and canvas is very doable, dye sub on metal is more challenging. I bought a 30x40 heat press for aluminum, but its a pain and it's better just to pay a lab to do those. One mistake and you have a expensive waste of metal. Paper and ink are dirt cheap comparatively and canvas too, but varnishing is a pain. I love watching your videos!

@do-not-reply461 3 года назад

So good! Thanks for posting. I'm glad I'm already on the mailing list. I would love, if you are willing and it doesn't give away too many secrets, to see a video that covers what you do differently to an image in preparation for printing. Thanks for the interview of Dean. I had not come across his work. The lesson there seems I have heard many times, if you can target the high end, your market never goes away. Thankfully, for me, my camera does not have to pay for itself. Looking forward to hearing your vibrato. Cheers.

@simonbarnes7124 3 года назад

The flimsy material below your printer is called the print collection tray so it falls smoothly without damaging your precious prints. You will inevitably walk by your printer and kick by mistake as I do in our lab. Yes the printer inks can cost the price of a weekend stay at the Waldorf Astoria with an unlimited mini bar, but it’s worth it. You can get a great framer to put museum glass into your framed prints with no reflectione whatsoever. Costly though and best to sell some of the equity in your home to get it. I jest. It’s not that bad. Great video and that microphone made you look even more professional than Adam Gibbs with his squilian dollar Fuji medium format camera.

I clicked so hard on this notification, I almost broke my mouse. I have a brand-new Canon Pro-200 printer (not up to your monster machine, but pretty good) but I hadn't used it to actually print photos until today. I'm pretty happy with my "test" 8.5" x11" prints, and I'll redo a couple in 13" x 19" (A3+, the largest my printer can do) for the apartment. Maybe you could soon do a video on how to actually print one's own photos properly, like doing soft proofs in Lightroom and setting up appropriate print profiles for your printer and paper. Thanks as always.

@philcampbell5827 3 года назад

Great video Gavin!! I enjoy printing my own prints at home for the same reason of having control over the whole process. A little tip (literally) is to print small while trying to get the settings right and once you nailed it then you can print your the big ones. Saves a lot of $$$$ on ink and paper :)

@fototripper 3 года назад

Yeah I learned that the hard way many years ago. I have lots of tiny photos on the corners of blank pages.

@Highdepthfilms 3 года назад

Great Vlog Gavin. Especially since I am now printing my images. It’s been a lot of fun, albeit expensive to ship Fotospeed paper to Northern California. One thing Dean mentioned was to outsource images and compare to your own prints in your own studio. I was happy to hear this and will try sending some Images to White Wall and compare. Lots of work getting the Webpage set up, images ready for print etc, but to me there is nothing so humbling as to have a customer hang an image I have made in their personal space. Again thanks for the videos, always fun watching them.

I found printing improved my photography considerably. There is no substitute for a print you create yourself. 22 inch format printers are great today and can fit on a desk easily and give great results. Paper selection gives you another great way to give a print it's own unique personality. Printing is the ultimate way to present an image. It is the best way to improve your photography.

@hamalot100 3 года назад

Boy was this video ever an inspiration. Great interview. Never heard of him and I actually grew up in Saskatchewan, now in Vancouver. I used to be an animator but am looking into photography as a new creative outlet. It’s good to know prints can be so beautiful. Cheers

@Kev5565 Год назад

I was totally immersed in this one, your art is truely awe inspiring but Mr Mcleod's is beyond awe and I can only imagine what his pictures look like in print. Maybe when I'm not being such a tight Yorkshireman I'll buy a print or two of yours.

@breyton490 3 года назад

I am just getting started in printing.. Bought an Epson XP 15000 - mainly because of the lower entry cost and ability to refill cartridges - if I go that route. Definitely, a lot to learn to get my prints to come out as I want... Seeing a print on a wall is Sooooooo much better, more rewarding than on a screen. Love the YT channel... I LMAO almost every video..!

@thomastuorto9929 3 года назад

Smart move going with the less cartridge printer to start off with. You can always go bigger if you are printing consistently good on Epson papers , can afford it &, have some experience printing on 3rd party papers which I don't suggest you do rite off. Happy shooting & printing!

@breyton490 3 года назад

@@thomastuorto9929 I was watching so many printing videos, I almost convinced myself to go with the Canon Pro-1000 right of the bat.... Glad my big brain kicked in and slowed my roll down a bit... :) Like you said, lets see how this goes before taking the plunge off the deep end.

@thomastuorto9929 3 года назад

@@breyton490 Hey, if you can afford it, I say go for it. I got the Canon Pro 100 back a while ago when they had the rebate with paper for $150.00. I just started messing with Canson-Inffinity & Red River papers. I have a long way to go before I'm ready for the Pro 1000. If I ever step up, I would like to go even bigger than that but, cost wise for what I print=sending them out would make more sense. Still, to be able to print that big myself would be more satisfying.

@michaelclar3066 3 года назад

@DougBaxterMusic 3 года назад

Always inspired by your vids Gavin. It's encouraged me to get back out there with my Pentax 645D, review the way I approach my photography (focus stacking/blending) and improving my technique. I guess that's the value of watching a pro at work. I have an A3+ Canon printer, and the best shots will find there way onto a space somewhere. Thanks for what you do!

@davidcox9295 3 года назад

Definitely recommend printing your stuff and I have used whitewall for all my prints and find them great, I mainly printed my stuff as gifts for my mum. When she finally put them up the memories they invoked were incredible it was like I was back there. Lighting is key and not all pictures will perform the same under the same lighting conditions. I have a picture of an Aurora display and I always thought it was took dark. We hung it anyway in a corner with the light at an oblique angle and the image just lit up.

@mourneswanderer1767 2 года назад

We have our house covered in framed prints taken by ourselves. I consider photography an art form (drawing with light) and, therefore they deserve to be lovingly displayed.

This is the video I needed. I'm at the point where I want to print my images, and even had a couple of people wanting a print too. I did a couple of test prints at a local London Drugs to find out they are much darker then what they seem on the screen. Once I get the edit correct I sent it to a place on Denman Island who does amazing printing.

@WriterandPhotographer 3 года назад

I always used metal channel-type frames that could be bought in whatever lengths you need along with double or triple matting with acid-free mats and non-reflective glass. For exhibitions, I double matted in white and often used off-set mat openings. Prints were adhered to a substrate. Always looked good. Back then, used Fuji Crystal Archive paper. Still have many prints on the wall from many years ago. All look like they were mounted yesterday.

@RikFreemanPhotographer Год назад

Excellent subject and topics. I found out the hard way with regards what I see on screen may not be how it "actually" looks. I was hooked, spent a lot of money on high end graphic equipment, camera's, lenses, monitors etc and it has taken years to do so. I now have my images printed onto large canvas frameless prints and my God, they look absolutely stunning. I realised that for every penny I spent investing in what I considered to be the best it really pays off seeing them in print. Just had some canvas prints delivered from a company I use a lot and again, totally blown away more so because the printed images look exactly as I see them on screen. I am totally blown away with the results so much so I am confident now to start to sell my images (if there is any market for it) and knowing the clients will be getting nothing but the best. Oh, I am not in any way rich, a truck driver during the day and have had to scrimp and save over the years so no, nothing handed to me on a plate, no help given in my quest and totally self funded bringing up 4 kids and also paying off a mortgage. 🙂

Great video, only thing to maybe add is if you're ordering from a remote shop, get proofs. Most shops offer them, they aren't free, but they're a lot cheaper and the iteration is valuable education. Make sure to save a tga export of every file you send so that when it comes back you can do A/B comparisons and get a feel for where things change and where the tones need adjustment.

Also, interesting concept of removing the glass from the frame for better viewing and cleaner look. Great idea that I have never considered.

@rebeccamoore4177 3 года назад

I got a pano printed of a shot I took from Artmill. It isn’t acrilic or metal. It’s more like printed on a board with a sweet Matt finish. So there are other options out there.

My favourite images are the ones that have been printed. They aren’t necessarily my best images as such, and sometimes the reason for the print is more circumstance rather than this epic shot. The way in which photography as an art form has developed has changed the way we interact with the works created, which is a shame. Good point about whether or not glass is necessary, I’ve spent a fortune on “posh” glass which appears invisible… better off without any glass and spend the change on more prints 😂
