The photographs are printed on a rigid aluminum sheet with a white base and a semi-gloss finish.
The semi-gloss provides the best of both worlds for the type of images I offer. The colors are vibrant and full but the surface is not so reflective as to be distracting with reflections of room objects, lights and so on.
For me, metal prints are the best option for the images of reflections of Venice, especially the abstract reflections.
But this depends on the environment in which they will be displayed. The metal works very well for any modern, contemporary decor.
There are several ways to mount and hang metal prints.
Smaller prints can be mounted with an easel on the back so they can stand on a table or other surface. This is available for prints up to 10” x 10” or 8” x 12”.
Metal brackets are the default option. They are sturdy and give the print the appearance of floating 3/4” off the wall.
An Inset Metal Frame is a very easy and sturdy mounting option. The frame is black, inset from the edges of the print and has a depth of 1 5/16” which gives the print the appearance of floating.
The Float Mount has a pre-cut hole at the top for easy hanging and also gives the print the appearance of floating 3/4” off the wall.

Metal prints are shipped with the default mounting of metal brackets for sizes 8”x8” and larger. This is included in the price. If you require another mounting option, then you should contact me before you place your order and we can adjust the price. The Inset Metal Frame is slightly more expensive.
NOTE ON SHIPPING METAL PRINTS: At this time, I can only ship metal prints within the USA. If you are outside the USA and would like to purchase a metal print, please email me and I will let you know how much the shipping will be. The cost of shipping metal prints outside the USA is usually quite high. But there may be alternatives, so if you are in Australia or the UK or Canada or somewhere else outside the USA and you have your heart set on a metal print, please get in touch.
