Canvas Prints – Photos with a difference

Few personal possessions can be as highly cherished as a memorable photograph. From happy holidays, family occasions to sporting events, personal photographs capture a moment in time.

In the past, such memories would have been consigned to the photo album, but by transferring normal photographs into a bespoke canvas print, a memorable photograph can be turned into an attractive work of art.

Canvas prints embrace the traditional usage of canvas for producing artwork, giving the photograph texture and warmth, whilst the high quality, splash resistant canvas ensures that not only is the finished print of good quality, but sturdy enough for any minor household accidents.

Customers begin the process the process by supplying their desired photographs. A simple process, this is generally performed via email, although there is an option of posting photographs to the company.

Skilled graphic designers will ensure that the photo supplied is of the best possible quality before printing takes place, any minor blemishes are removed, along with the dreaded ‘red eye’. Colours are carefully balanced to ensure that once completed, the print is of optimum standard.

Once prepared, the photo is then printed onto the canvas. Once again, quality is of paramount importance, archival canvas (as used by professional artists) is used, and printing takes place using a range of Epson wide format printers, using the best ink available.

The final result is an attractive, sturdy piece of art that would make a great talking point for any living room, office or lounge area. A wide range of sizes are available depending on the budget, from 12 x 12 inch prints for £25 a wide range of sizes are available up to a commanding 40 x 60 inches, enough to provide a large centrepiece for any wall, larger sizes still can be provided on an individual quote.

Whilst canvas prints allow the chance for a normal photograph to be transformed into an attractive showpiece, for those with more artistic inclinations a whole world of possibilities are available. Experienced graphic designers offer a bespoke artistic service, for no extra charge photograph colours can be amended to provide such effects as black and white or sepia finishes. However, for those who want something completely different, a standard photographed can be transformed into a mindblowing piece of pop art.

Using the styles of famous pop art names such as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein, or by employing a contemporary ‘Illustration’ style, graphic designers can transform a photograph into a bespoke, contemporary piece of artwork, tailored to the customer’s wishes for less than the cost of a traditional painting.

For those who wish to do something different with their favourite photographs, canvas printing is an innovate way of creating a memorable, individual way of bringing a photo to life.

Don’t redecorate, print it on canvas!

Times are difficult financially at the moment, with people being unable to afford to pay their mortgages and even banks going out of business. This means that anyone looking to redecorate their home might have to put it off for a while as the money just isn’t there. It doesn’t have to mean you can’t make your home look better though, as re-plastering your walls and changing your carpet isn’t the only to improve your home. Instead of expensive cosmetic changes, you can simply add touches to the walls such as canvas prints.

Photos printed on canvas are a cheap alternative to expensive decorating as you can choose any of your own photos to be printed. Your holiday snaps, pictures of your family or photos from your own childhood can all be printed on canvas and turned into artwork for your home.

Canvas art makes a great addition to your walls, and when you use your own pictures it’s more customised to your own tastes than simply using canvas pictures bought from a shop.

Adding a touch of colour to your home can come at a price, or it can come cheap if you print your photos to canvas.

Canvas isn’t just for old fashioned prints

You may be thinking that printing photos to canvas is old fashioned, and is only suitable for older pictures, to be displayed in old homes. While canvas as a material has been around a long time, and artists have used it for hundreds of years, it also has a very modern style when the right pictures are printed on it.

For example, you can print an old sunset photo in a fine art style to be displayed in your grandmother’s home if you want to, but you can also have photos of yourself turned into pop-art style comic pictures such as those produce by Andy Warhol. You can take any photo of yourself in a dynamic action pose, maybe jumping out of an aeroplane, surfing or even in the garden (for the less adventurous) and have it turned into a piece of modern art printed on canvas to display in your home.

Why not utilise canvas printing to create new forms of art where you are the subject? Canvas isn’t just for old photos; it’s for any type of photography, to create any sort of art.

Turn your holiday snaps in canvas prints

When you’ve taken the holiday of a lifetime you’ll want to make sure you have something to remember it by. Typically we use souvenirs, our fading memory and photos to remind us of what our holiday was like, but souvenirs gather dust, our fading memory, well, fades and photos tend to get buried in drawers and are rarely seen again.

No, what we need to remind us of that great holiday is something equally impressive. Why not have your holiday photos printed on canvas and displayed on your wall like works of art? You can choose any photo that you want from your holiday collection and have it printed to canvas. The photo can be of yourself or your family or even of a beautiful sunrise over the pyramids.

You don’t need to bury your holiday photos anymore; you can display them on your wall with pride and show everyone just where you’ve been on holiday.

This way you’re artwork on your wall is unique to you, rather than a printed piece that is displayed on thousands of walls the world over.

Art isn’t just made by artists

When it comes to having a unique piece of canvas art displayed on your wall in your home, you don’t need to pay for an original artist’s work. Nor indeed do you need to be an artist yourself, or even know the first thing about painting with oils or acrylics, and forming a painting from scratch.

In fact anyone can create their own unique canvas print without ever picking up a paintbrush. The camera is just about the only tool that you’ll need to create a unique canvas print, so if you can aim a camera and click the button, you can make canvas art.

By taking photos of your friends, your family or even your favourite scene you’re able to turn those pictures into canvas prints by using a canvas printing company to have them printed on canvas. Any photo can be printed on canvas, whether it was taken by a film camera or a digital camera. You can have photos that exist as prints, or as files on your computer or SD card turned into unique, custom canvas prints that represent your own unique style.

Turn your photos into canvas prints and make your home look more personalised to your tastes.

Have a unique canvas print, not a production line one

Canvas prints have become very popular in the UK today; with many different shops offering canvas prints of photos. The all look great and offer you the chance to have a canvas print that looks just like a painting hanging on your wall, which is much cheaper than buying a real painting.

The problem with the types of canvas prints you see for sale in shops, such as major supermarket chains like Asda, is that they’re all the same. If you buy a picture printed on canvas in a shop you’re buying something that thousands of other people all have in their homes. It’s not unique; it doesn’t make your home stand out.

Instead of buying the same picture that thousands of other people also have you could have a photo printed on canvas that is unique to you. Choose one of your own personal photos from your collection, either of your kids, your family or something special and have it printed on canvas.

You’ll end up with a great piece of art to hang on your wall, and one that is unique to you. Isn’t that better than buying the same picture that is already hung on a thousand walls in other people’s homes?

When it comes to different ways to display your photos in your home, you have many different options. One of the options for displaying your photos is to have them printed on canvas, which makes your pictures look like works of art. What are the advantages of having photos printed on canvas over regular printed photos though?

Let’s have a look at the advantages of printing photos to canvas.

  • Photos printed on canvas don’t require glass frames, which makes them lighter when displayed on your wall.
  • Canvas prints look like works of art as the texture of the canvas highlights the colour and tone within the photo print.
  • Photos printed on canvas last a long time without fading, much longer than regular printed photos.
  • Canvas prints are far more imposing when displayed on your wall than regular framed photos.

If you’re looking for a new, interesting way to display your best photographs in your home, you can have them printed on canvas and displayed as artwork.

Brighten your home with a canvas print

In these difficult times where we’re all experiencing the credit crunch, not many of us have the money to spend to redecorate our homes the way we’d like. Sure we could wallpaper the room, re-carpet or get a decorator in, but that can prove expensive. A cheaper way to add an extra special touch to your home would be to use what you already have to make a room look better. For example, you could utilise one of your existing photographs to have it printed on canvas and hang it on your wall.

Hanging a canvas print on your wall will give your room a much needed boost of life and colour. Nothing imprints your own stamp on a home like hanging your own personal pictures, whether they’re of yourself, your family, your family, your pets or even photos that you have taken that you find interesting. They’re very personal and unique to you, so make the room like your own.

Printing on canvas allows you display your pictures in the best way possible as they look like works of art as opposed to just framed photos.

Take great photos in autumn lighting

October 3, 2008

Filed under: Photography Advice — Gareth @ 7:13 pm

Summer is finally over, which for many would mean bad news and the nights will draw in sooner, the mornings will be darker and the weather will get oh so much colder (as if that were possible in the UK). However it’s not all bad news, especially if you’re into photography.

The lighting on offer during the summer might be good for a tan, but it’s not so good for great photography. The longer shadows caused by the sun in the autumn months makes for some great pictures, with some flattering soft lighting. The colours created by nature too add to that special canvas on your photo, and in addition make for a great canvas print of your photo should you wish to have one printed on canvas.

It’s cold, yes, but for photographers the weather is just about perfect to create the work of art you’re hoping for. Make the most of nature and look for some beautiful landscapes, such as woodland where the trees are losing their leaves, and take some photos to print on canvas.
