The final printed image is the culmination of my journey in creating a piece of artwork that represents my view of the world around me. I take a great deal of pride in every print I produce; I want you to be equally happy. Signed Fine Art Giclée prints of my photographic images are available exclusively through this website, including framing options.
No matter how often it happens, I still get a thrill in knowing a customer has chosen to hang a piece of my artwork in their home or business. This page is set up to inform you about every facet of how I produce my prints, how they are matted and framed; right down to the care I take in packaging and shipping the final piece to you. Visit my gallery to find all of my Landscape and Fine Art photographs of Ireland and around the world.

Hi John, I felt compelled to send you this note! Six months later I still find myself getting lost within the image, which hangs in my study over my computer. I find it incredibly relaxing just leaning back in my chair and staring in to that enchanting landscape.
Not only do I take great pride in the photographic pieces I create, I take equal care and pride in the final print. From paper, printer and ink selection, to matting and framing materials, everything is done with the sole purpose of ensuring my artwork is displayed at its best. Every component used has been carefully selected for its archival qualities to ensure maximum print longevity. Every print is personally inspected and signed by me. I personally Matte and Frame every single print and only when I am 100% satisfied do I carefully package it and ship it to you. Yes; I am obsessive about the quality of the final piece that arrives in the hands of my customers. Call me crazy but your satisfaction is really important.
I work closely with my local Fine Art Printer who has over 20 years of experience serving the printing needs of the Fine Art Photographic Industry. We choose from only the finest Hahnemühle papers and select the best paper finish for each individual print. Every print is produced on state of the art Epson Inkjet Printers using only original Epson inks. The combination of light fast pigment inks and heavy-weight (285~325gsm ) fine art, archival papers ensure that the print will provide lasting enjoyment and pleasure for decades to come. Each print is personally inspected and signed by me prior to shipment.
Daler Rowney “Snow White” mount board is used, which has a clean white, slightly textured finish that adds a real dimensionality to my prints. Each board is lignin-free, alkaline-sized, pH neutral and is calcium carbonate buffered to enhance its useful lifespan by minimising the effect of atmospheric pollutants. I use archival quality acid free mounting tapes and fixtures to mount my prints. In fact my mounting process ensures no adhesives touch the print itself, again maximising print longevity. I personally matte every print to ensure the highest quality is maintained. You can find out more about how I matte in this Blog Article
I use bespoke solid wood frames that have a wonderful subtle wood grain texture. Each frame is finished in a mid-brown or black colour depending on the print. When offered a chose the vast majority of my customers always select a natural wood finish. Each frame uses industry standard 2mm Optical Glass and backboard. The back of each frame is finished in a brown kraft paper, with piano wire hangers and cork bumpers to add the final professional touch. I personally frame every print to ensure the highest quality is maintained. You can find out more about how I frame in this Blog Article
I offer 5 print sizes, namely Companion, Artist, Studio, Gallery and Master. You have the option of purchasing the print alone which you can then frame yourself, or I can look after everything for you including the matting and framing of the print so that it’s ready to hang on your wall. I can also offer bespoke options such as Acrylic, Floating and Block mounting. Please contact me for details
Hi John. Thank you again for such a speedy delivery. The couple absolutely loved the photo of Glendelough. It was the right decision to go with the larger print, and it now hangs pride of place over their fireplace.
The image of Lough Tay was beautiful on your website, but it did not prepare me for how wonderful it is in print. It’s a real conversation starter as it hangs in pride of place in our living room. Thank You.

All artwork purchases from me are covered under my 100% “take 90 Days to decide” money back guarantee. If you are not satisfied with your purchase you can return it in new condition for a credit, refund or exchange for up to 90 Days from date of delivery. Some limitations apply, essentially to prevent internet fraud which, unfortunately, does happen. See the section on Returns below for details. Please note this refund does not include the cost of shipping.
I package and ship a great many prints each year without problems. However sometimes the unexpected happens; I will replace at no charge any print damaged in transit. No questions asked, just return the artwork to me and I will ship you a new piece right away.
My museum-grade prints, using archival paper and inks, are expected to last at least a century. All artwork comes with my exclusive Fade Free Warranty designed to protect your investment; if your artwork was to fade I will replace it at no charge for as long as you own it. No questions asked, just return the artwork to me and I will ship you a new piece right away.
If you purchased your artwork framed from me, and if your framed artwork was to get damaged because of my framing, I will reframe it or replace it at no charge. Sometimes the materials used by framers such as tape, matte-board, etc, can damage your artwork. To prevent this I use only the finest archival materials, and I guarantee that my framing will not damage your artwork in any way. However, if for some reason something was ever to happen, you are 100% covered.
While the Printing, Matting and Framing of a Fine Art print is critically important so is the way it is packaged. I ship prints all over the world and I apply the same level of care and attention to detail to ensure every print arrives to you in perfect condition.
Smaller prints are sandwiched between wrapping tissue and two rigid pieces of cardboard. The cardboard sheets are at least 2 inches bigger then the print to ensure it is protected while in transit. Larger prints are carefully rolled in wrapping tissue and placed in a rigid postal tube. I add my own custom shipping warning labels to ensure the postman or courier knows to handle with care, not to bend or get the package wet. This approach ensures the safety of the package during transit, and that it arrives to you in pristine condition.
For a framed print I follow a similar approach by sandwiching the frame between two pieces of rigid card board at least 2 inches bigger then the frame all around. The space between the cardboard and the frame is filled with a bio-degradable void fill to protect the frame, and then taped using heavy duty clear tape. This package is then placed inside a box which is again at least two inches larger then the package all the way around. The box is filled with the same bio-degradable void fill. Finally I add my own custom shipping warning labels to ensure the postman or courier knows the package is fragile and contains glass, and therefore should not be dropped or get wet. This double-boxing ensures the safety of the package during transit, and that it arrives to you in pristine condition.
As soon as I receive your order I will begin working with my Fine Art Printer to select the perfect paper and begin the printing process. I always aim to have your order shipped within 3 days, 5 days for the larger prints.
I offer some guidance on shipping charges in the table above, but for accurate costs please review your shopping cart at checkout. To help manage shipping costs I am able to package several Prints or Framed Prints together. Depending on your order and your location I ship either via registered insured mail which typically takes a week to 10 days to arrive, or by Courier which typically arrives in 5 days or less. I will provide you with a tracking number as soon as your order has been shipped. You can see from my Packaging section on the left that I take a great deal of care with each shipment to ensure its safe arrival.
In a rush? I can accommodate fast shipment options at an extra fee using FedEx, please contact me for details before placing your order.
