The Fine Photographic Print:

The fine photographic print is much more than a reproduction of an image. It is the culmination of years of experience in refining a photographer’s vision and developing the technical ability to achieve that vision. No other form of image creation can convey the subtleties, the detail and luminosity which can exist in a fine photographic print.

One of the unique advantages of photography is that multiple prints can be made of the same image, with tremendous creative interpretation possible in the printing process. The fine photographic print is the final step in the photographic creative process which conveys to the viewer the essence of what was the visual intent of the photographer at the moment the image was captured.

The photographers represented by FourbyFive Gallery of Photography are a diverse cross section of the ‘photographic pool of talent’ which exists in Calgary and all have been working for many years refining their craft. The images on display represent a wide range of photographic styles and techniques from 35mm to extreme large format and digital capture, and from traditional darkroom, silver gelatin and alternative processes to laser and archival pigment output.

All work in the gallery is created to archival standards and is presented with care and attention to detail.

I look forward to seeing you at the gallery.
