I’m not really big on selling print products, as a photographer. It’s mostly because I’ve worked in photo sales at a few different jobs in the past and it gave me an aversion to selling, period. Personally, I think photographers who prioritize selling and force their clients to pay super high costs for prints cheapen their art. So I try to be as fair and reasonable as possible with all the prints that I offer through my galleries and – though I think my printer does an excellent job (and a whole lot better than say Walgreens, etc.!) – I am not going to say they are the best in the world or hold hostage the images I’ve taken for a client. I know others do it differently, but that’s what I’m most comfortable with, so it’s how I do it. :)
With all that being said, I recently came across Plywerk bamboo photo mounting and their products are – in my opinion – the best! They are beautifully crafted, created in a eco-friendly way (in Portland, OR – yay!) and they are the first products that I would fully endorse for printing, compared to anything else I have seen. Not that there aren’t other great options (I also like canvas prints, for example), I’m just saying that this is my favorite. And I’m not getting paid a penny to say any of this. :)
As a photographer myself, I don’t print nearly as much personal work as I’d like to so, when Kelly and I stumbled upon Plywerk, we decided it was finally time to print a few images of our kids. Here’s a glimpse into our latest photo wall:
And in case you’re a client who is interested, I am now offering a few of their products through my galleries! It will cost you a few extra dollars if you order it from me, but I’ll do the legwork and it all goes back to those cute little kids above. :)
