More Choices

I've been working on a new, additional website this year that uses Millers Photo Lab.  I like their "true black and white" papers and choices for metallic and canvas fine art.

So it's ready for viewing and purchases at https://jenigrayphotography.shootproof.com/ .  But I have also added the html for viewing from right here on the blog, on a new page called "Specialty Papers" (note tab above).
You can click through the images but I am not exactly sure how it will process for purchases, might take you back to the main site.  Mostly I've added it here so you can see what's available on both websites in one place.
Let me know in the comments if there are any problems with the functionality.  I did notice that it wasn't exactly centered, but I didn't want to start fiddling with the html code as my knowledge is too rusty.

What you'll notice are price differences.  Millers is very reasonable which allows me to charge less for retail.  I believe most of their shipping is free too.

Thanks for following along!

New Photo Shop Open!

Finally!  The time has come and all the stars aligned to have time for this project.
I opened "Jeni Gray Photo Studio" today, April 6th, 2019.  You can visit now here .

I have the first five images uploaded, described and ready to sell.  These are unique, small, and feature my latest work from the coast to the forest.

 

I toiled over paper types, and tried samples of everything.  I decided on three paper types and two sizes to start.  5x7 for standard framing, although the images are often full frame, the paper will always be reliable 5x7 with white borders.  Then there are the square ones, 5x5 with white borders but also square images.  These are great with Instagram folks, and fun for small spaces.

So here's the line up of papers.
Moab Slickrock Metallic Pearl is what I chose for a glossy metallic, rich black and white paper.  It really makes the driftwood and high contrast images pop!
Then there's the artsy Hahnemuhle Matte Fine Art Albrecht Durer, a heavy, textured matte paper that makes images look like a painting!  Only some images will be using this paper, it needs a special kind of artistic print.
Then my standard Matte will be on Epson Premium Presentation Matte.  It's got enough guts for contrast, but still soft enough for a romantic feel.
This way there are several choices for customers.

 I'll be adding new images to the store throughout the month of April.
Also, there are introductory specials happening and Free US Shipping all month!

Update 12-2019:  Closed this shop, sorry to get your hopes up!  Some things have changed and I'm taking a step back.
I do have some new images that are all available on my main website at www.jenigrayphotography.com/   .

I'll be back to blogging here early next year, meanwhile I have been blogging about my photo trips over at Huckleberry Hollow.

I'll have this all sorted out shortly!  Thanks for your patience.
