All photos in the FutureAngels.com Photo Gallery are available for purchase. The actual images are much sharper than what you see on-line, which were scanned at a lower resolution to deter unauthorized use.
The Photo Gallery has two sections:
Film Media — I used film to capture photos until July 2002. The prints and enlargements you receive from film media are exact unaltered duplications, which means they are susceptible to imperfections which can't be corrected. I do my best to ensure that all the film photos displayed on the site are of high enough quality that you'd want to collect them.
Digital Media — I switched to digital photography in July 2002. Unlike film, digital images can be altered by me with software such as Adobe Photoshop. This means that imperfections can be corrected before the media is sent to a photo lab for printing/enlargement.
All photos are printed by a professional photo lab on high-quality Fujicolor Crtystal Archive Paper with a glossy finish. If you would prefer a matte finish, please write that request on your order form.
The charge for a single photo depends on the size of the desired print:
- 4"x6" — $1.00
- 5"x7" — $3.50
- 8"x12" — $8.00
- 20"x30" — $30.00
The photos were originally shot using the 2:3 aspect ratio of 35mm film. Such an image when enlarged would be 4"x6", 8"x12", 20"x30", etc. Print sizes not in 2:3 dimensions are cropped to fit that size. For example, the popular 8"x10" photo frames typically display photos that were 8"x12" but were cropped at the top and bottom to remove 2" inches so the photo would fit.
That's why I ship you 8"x12" enlargements instead of 8"x10". 8"x12" frames can be found in most frame shops, although they usually have far fewer choices. If you would prefer your 8"x12" photo cropped to 8"x10", please write that request on your order form.
Please be aware that as photos are printed larger and larger, imperfections are more likely to be evident. Among the imperfections may be fuzziness if the original picture was out of focus; or graininess, especially if the photo was taken at night. If you're thinking about ordering a 20"x30" poster-size photo, it's strongly recommended that you e-mail home@futureangels.com with the ID number of the photo so it can be examined in advance before you order.
