What is Giclee?
Giclée is a fine art archival reproduction process which is based on digital technology. 'Giclée' is a French word meaning "to squirt or spurt." The Giclée printer squirts approximately 4 million microscopic droplets of ink per second onto cotton canvas, paper, or other media. |
What is Acrylic Canvas?
Acrylic canvas, an award-winning concept in Europe, utilizes acrylic as a canvas to create a Giclée on acrylic media. This technique is beginning to shape the design industry due to it innovativeness and broad appeal. The semi-transparency of the acrylic allows light to interact with the image creating a highly contemporary and stunning photographic display. This technique is especially dramatic for flora photography, a specialty of Elinor Schoenfeld. The photographs of Elinor Schoenfeld are some of the first to appear in a United States gallery using this innovative technique.

What is an Aluminum Print?
We offer two types of Aluminum Mounts - Classic and Silver Brush. In this process, an image is printed onto classic inkjet or silver paper, respectively as a Giclée print, sealed with a 'metallic' texture-effect laminate for an authentic look and feel, and then mounted onto a 3mm rigid aluminum panel. The photos are mounted at the back with a pair of 2"x1" wooden battens to create a floating mount when hung. |
What are Darkroom Hand Prints?
Using 35mm negatives we go into the dark room and create a one of a kind black and white print using an enlarger and photo paper. Because of the artistic nature of the process, each print is a unique interpretation of the negative. |
