PURCHASING LIMITED EDITION FINE ART PRINTS

All Prints in the gallery are available as "EXCLUSIVE LIMITED EDITION" Fine Art Prints. No more than 50 signed and numbered prints of each piece, (all sizes combined) will ever be produced. This will give a higher value to your investment compared with prints that are available in much larger quantities. The first 10 prints are available with a fixed price noted under each photograph in the gallery located in the “Experience the Beauty” section. When the first 10 prints are sold, the price automatically goes up and thereafter every 10 prints sold until it reaches 50. The sooner you purchase a print, the higher the value of your investment will become over time.

Price BreakDown
01-10 Original Value
11-20 1st Price Increase
21-30 2nd Price Increase
31-40 3rd Price Increase
41-50 Final Price Increase
(Last prints available before it becomes “SOLD OUT” from the gallery ).

Once a print becomes “Sold Out”, it will be impossible to purchase it directly via our online store. If you are interested in one of our "Sold Out" pieces, please contact us as we may have an edition displayed in a gallery or business somewhere.

 


Artist's Proof
Di Fruscia also produces what is called an “Artist’s Proof”. Artist Proofs are very exclusive and only 2 will ever be produced per photograph. They will be signed, Initialed “AP” and numbered from 1 to 2. They can be slightly different from Limited Edition Prints and can also be personalized if desired. (Please contact us for more info). Artist Proofs are priced twice as much as Limited Edition Prints due to their extremely limited nature. Additionally an artist's proof has special value because of its extra rarity and its possible differences from the "standard" print, factors that are often reflected in its price.

Custom Sizing
They are presently only the 3 most popular sizes available via the shopping cart (16x24 - 24x36 - 30x45) We are able to offer custom sizing on nearly all of our pieces. Please contact us at sales@difrusciaphotography.com for your requirements and prices. The sizes given in the drop down menu are approximate.

Real image sizes can vary, due to the aspect ratio of each image. If the aspect ratio of an image is considerably different than the one stated in the menu, you would be contacted to approve the purchase.

“PRINT-ONLY” LIMITED EDITION FINE ART PRINTS"

All the "Print-Only" orders are now printed on Premium High-End luxurious gloss paper resulting in incredibly vibrant prints. Di Fruscia produces high quality colorful work and needs a media that can transmit that to the perfection. He finds that nothing else transmits the full dynamics and gamut of colors his photographs posses than the paper he has finally chosen.

He will always strive to create the highest-quality prints possible, and produce artwork that will decorate your soul for years to come. Again, you can order prints directly from each photo's page in the “Experience The Beauty” section. All Prints are signed, numbered & carefully shipped in a durable high quality environmental friendly tube and come with a pair of cotton gloves. We highly recommend that you wear the gloves if you need to handle the art for any reason.

CAUTION:
We highly recommend that you do not handle the print yourself unless wearing the cotton gloves included and being extra careful. The prints are very fragile and fingerprints can literally ruined your investments. The High-End luxurious gloss paper also creases very easily especially when printed in large format...always be safe and let an experienced framer handle it.

FINE ART ACRYLIC-GLASS FACE-MOUNTING

DI Fruscia highly recommends this method of framing. It greatly enhances the depth of color, contrast and saturation creating a finely crafted masterpiece.

What is face mounting?
Face mounting is when the front of the print is bonded to the reverse of a high gloss acrylic sheet. This preserves the Total size of the print and raises the bar for extraordinary image quality, with a vibrant clarity of colors, deeper darker black tones and a luscious depth of contrast. This method is available in "Ready to Hang" floating version or "Ready to Frame" version. (please contact us for detail and pricing). This, without a doubt creates the ultimate viewing experience. The finest way to truly Experience the Beauty of any Di Fruscia Photography Fine Art Prints.

Ready to Hang floating version:
The Limited Edition Fine Art Print is professionally mounted face-first onto 1/8" Acrylic-Glass (Both Reflective and Fine Art grade non-reflective are available) and backed by a 1/4" black dibond/sintra. An Aluminum inset-hanging frame is then attached to the back with a U hanging system. The final result is simply awesome, appearing like a high gloss, high saturation HD image floating on the wall.

Ready to Frame version:
Identical to the “Ready to Hang” but backed by a 1/8" black dibond/sintra and NO Aluminum inset-hanging frame. This version requires you to bring it to a professional framer to have it matted and framed to your liking.

  

This is definitely the Di Fruscia preferred choice of framing. Having a face mounted image carefully matted and framed results in the Ultimate Piece of Art that will definitely be the center of attention in any house, office or gallery.

CAUTION:
Acrylic-glass mounted prints are susceptible to scratches. As with any other piece of art, extra care needs to be taken in handling and cleaning your investment. Every print purchased with this method will be supplied with a pair of cotton gloves and an anti-static micro fiber towel.

MUSEUM QUALITY FINE ART FRAMING

We do not currently offer fine art framing at this time, due to shipping complications. We truly believe that this final step should be taken seriously and talked about with a professional framer to make sure you obtain quality work and material that will increase both the value and enhances your investment. Again if a print is purchased as Print-Only, we highly recommend that you do not handle it. Let a professional do the entire work for you. Always make sure they use Archival - Acid free material to protect you art for years to come.

IMAGE QUALITY AND PROCESS

These are all “REAL IMAGES” from REAL LOCATIONS. These images have not been created, partly created or generated by computer. All images have been taken with professional high quality digital cameras, lenses & filters on location around the world. Unfortunately, even with today’s technologies, the camera does not see the world as clearly as the human eye does. The dynamic range of today’s professional camera is still not capable of rendering details in both the Highs and Low Tones of some specific scenes. Due to this limitation, some of the images have been created using several exposures of the same scene (Some exposed for the high tones and others exposed for the low tones). These exposures are then combined carefully using a technique called Luminosity masking. This technique provides a dynamic range that is extremely close to what the artist witnessed with his own eyes while capturing the scene.

The exclusive Di Fruscia post processing treatment is applied to all images. In his film days, Di Fruscia would have chosen a highly saturated slide film like Fuji Velvia 50 to achieve similar high gamut, colorful results. Nothing is added to or subtracted from any of the images. On occasion the removal of minor distracting elements might occur (ex, piece of discarded paper in the composition, plane in sky etc.).

COMMERCIAL OR EDITORIAL USE -

All high resolution images will be sent using "yousendit.com" (the No.1 digital delivery company serving business and individuals on the Web today) If you cannot find what you are looking for, please contact us as there are many more images in our database.
