Large Format Printing

Using a HP Z3100 professional 24″ wide printer, I do all large format printing in-house.  Utilizing a variety of materials to produce inexpensive posters, fine art color, museum grade cotton rag B&W prints, vinyl banners and canvas prints, I can provide you with the utmost in personal service and quality at rates below what you find online – with same day service in most cases!  Prices start as low as $5/sq. ft. with quantity discounts.

Camera & Monitor Calibration

Working professionals, whether they simply edit and send to a lab or go through printing themselves, absolutely need to be utilizing properly calibrated equipment.  It’s a little known fact that cameras and monitors all vary from the factory, some much more than others, when it comes to image and color accuracy.  I provide full calibration services in your office to ‘zero out’ your camera and monitor, letting you work with a 100% accurate picture in both color fidelity and brightness.  Have you ever received prints back and they did not match what you see on your screen?  Call me!  Service starts at $50 and takes 1-3 hours depending on your equipment.

Photography Instruction

I have been a trained instructor going on 20 years, covering everything from intimate office groups to 200 member classes.  I offer completely customized instruction to meet your exact needs.  Are you simply an eager casual shooter that needs to learn how to use your new camera better?  Do you have specific area you want to improve on such as getting better shots of your kids playing sports, or perhaps you are taking a vacation and want to get the most out of your pictures?  Are you a working pro that wants to learn new techniques or perhaps you want to grow in a new area?  I offer hands on training showing you how to meet your goals.

Camera Sensor Cleaning

Digital SLR cameras have one drawback and that’s dust, dirt and grease getting on the sensor.  The disadvantage to having a removable lens is that every time it’s removed, stuff gets in.  Some cameras have a measure of anti-dust control built in but none can fully prevent it from accumulating!  If you are a working pro, you know how critical it is to be using a clean camera.  Time wasted on editing out dust spots costs your bottom line!  Even if you are just shooting for fun, it’s certainly no fun to see a great shot with spots all over it.  I offer my professional cleaning services, using the latest dedicated cleaning tools and solutions to get your camera back to day-1 spotless.  Service is $60 and is done while you wait.
