Process
Imaging
“If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.” – Vincent Van Gogh
The fascination for beauty drives the idea of an image. Technically, DF’s FineArt only uses high-end cameras and lenses dedicated to the specific image idea to achieve the high standards. However, most projects require not only photography expertise. Several other abilities, such as diving or interaction with apex predators, are the basis for most of the imaging processes.
Acrylic Composite Print
Acrylic composite prints are reproduced in a special composite mounting way. First, a high-quality fine art print is produced in one of our cooperation laboratories in Germany. Second, the fine art print is mounted to a stable plate (typically, Alu-Dibond). Third, the fine art print is compounded with an Acrylic Glass plate. This plate has a reflective finish. A matte finish is also available after personal contact.
This process guarantees stability and longevity. Thanks to the brilliant colors and sharpness of details the final product is of excellent gallery quality.
Fine Art Paper Print
Fine art paper prints allow for maximum flexibility in regard of carrier material or substrate, which can be added by a professional printing service of your choice. The fine art paper material depends on the subject and is chosen by the artist. After personal contact individual materials are available.
Other Print Options
If you wish an individual way of reproduction or framing, don’t hesitate to contact us under info@DF-fine.art. For example, direct prints on Alu-Dibond, water resistant metal prints and many more are available. Simply contact us and we will do our best to fulfill your individual vision.
Shipping
Immediately after your order the production process starts. Within Europe you can expect your order to arrive within 3-4 weeks. Worldwide the delivery process takes more time. Typically, you can expect your order within 5-6 weeks.
Authentication and Integrity
Minimizing the risk of reproduction and ensure the integrity and authentication of DF’s products is essential. Hence, you are receiving a separate signed certificate with the specific and unique serial number of your fien art print. The same serial number will be attached to your product. Depending on the Edition the security levels do increase up to a DNA-based signature (for security reasons details are not presented here). A copy and detailed protocol of your certificate, serial number and further security level is documented and secured safely.
