We develop private photograph collection for interiors. This is a sample of the collection of black + white photographs developed for the interior design of Mckenna's by the Bay, a waterfront restaurant in Longbeach, California. We create collections for corporate, retail, residential, commercial and hospitality interior design. This collection focused on images with a portrait aspect ratio, but also included images with a landscape aspect ration or horizontal orientation that are not shown here.

The restaurant owner asked for a series of black + white yacht racing photographs in various sizes from 8 by 10, 11 by 14, 16 by 20 and 20 by 30 inches. All of the prints were printed on Epson series printers using the Epson 2200 and the Epson 7600 on photo enhanced paper using archival inks. This type of printing is called Giclee printing. Giclee (jhee-clay) - Derived from the french verb giclee meaning to squirt. The term giclee print typically connotes a certain elevation in printmaking technology. Images are high resolution digital scans printed with archival quality inks onto high quality archival papers. The giclee process provides better color accuracy than other means of reproduction.

Another tremendous advantage to Giclee printing is that artwork can be reproduced to almost any size and on various media, giving the us the ability to customize prints for a specific client. While our prices are in standard sizes on the web site, we can make custom sized prints. We can print most of the images in our database in black + white, sepia tone and duo tone prints. Not all photographs translate into black + white well. We will experiment and present a series of black + whites in a concept for you to chose from. We can develop a custom private collection for your interior design or you can use one of the photo series we have already developed.

We also create color photograph collections. We printed a small collection for the US. Coast Guard. Color photograph collections are available in either Giclee archival prints or traditional photograph prints on Kodak paper. We use OFOTO to print our large color photographs.
