Customer Comments

"The print arrived today in good shape and you're right - the larger format is absolutely beautiful! I'm thoroughly pleased with it and plan to take it to the framers tomorrow. I've decided on a plain black frame because I'm going to put it on my mantel. Behind it will be the fireplace wall which is blue-gray stone. When I propped the picture up there today, the color of the stone brought out a blue-gray haze behind the milkweed and it's stunning. And I like the idea of juxtaposing the natural elements of stone and milkweed with the man-made elements of frame and matte."

-From a customer in North Carolina, USA

Glenn, you da man - [the print] came today. I can pick out much more detail than on-screen. What great resolution. I can't take my eye off that orange lily!

Caring for your print

Glenn's giclée prints are made on archival paper with archival inks, mattes and mounts. Properly cared for, they will last a lifetime.

"Proper care" includes framing the picture behind glass or acrylic (preferred for its greater UV resistance), with the matte separating the print from the glass. To clean the glass or acrylic, do not spray or apply cleaning materials directly to the glass; spray them onto a soft cloth or paper towel to avoid the possibility of cleaner absorption into the matte.

Prints should never be displayed in direct sunlight, which could cause colors to fade. The prints should never be touched with water or any solvent. Fingerprints also may damage the print, so the image area itself should not be touched.

About the photographs

All of the pictures in this compendium were shot with a digital camera, outdoors or in the greenhouse where the flowers were growing in northwest Ohio. Many were shot toward the end of the day, when the sun is redder and hits the subject at strongly oblique angles, casting shadows from styles and anthers onto the petals and lending a chiaroscuro to the image. In all but a few instances, the pictures were shot in natural light; occasional use of the flash was necessary in low-light situations.

Moving these natural-light pictures into the "darkroom" of my computer and painting out the background tends to dramatize even further the natural lighting effects on the blossoms. And using electronic versions of the standard darkroom techniques of dodging and burning, altering focus and sharpening certain elements enhances the intended theatricality of the photographs. The entire process is akin to portrait photography, in which the visual objective is to draw out the true character and beauty of the subject.

As I began working on the series, I soon became aware that I was unconsciously applying a particular aesthetic with each image—the practice of “corporate identity.” Years of adherence to design standards for corporate employers and clients had inculcated me with the urge to make each image have some shared appearance with the others. Thus the black background became a common element. Later, I relaxed this standard to include some of the leaves or surrounding greenery, but always muted or minimized them so that the images conformed to this standard. I believe the result is agreeable and apparent.
