Terms & Conditions for Purchasing a Photography Print

 

Important Information for Buyers

Introduction

These terms and conditions govern the sale and purchase of photography prints. By placing an order, you agree to adhere to these terms, which are designed to ensure clarity, fairness, and quality. Please review them carefully before making a purchase.

NB – When it comes to purchasing photography prints, one important aspect to consider is the potential difference in colours between what you see online and the final physical product. This discrepancy often arises due to two key factors: colour calibration and the backlighting of screens.

Screens, such as those on computers, tablets, or phones, are backlit, meaning the colours you observe are illuminated from behind, making them appear brighter and more vibrant. In contrast, physical prints rely on reflected light, which can subtly alter the perception of colour and brightness.

Another contributing factor is colour calibration. Every screen displays colours slightly differently depending on its settings, hardware, and even age. Photographers and print professionals typically work with calibrated monitors to ensure their colours are as accurate as possible. However, unless the viewer's screen is also calibrated, the colours seen online may not perfectly match the final print.

To mitigate this, photographers often use standardised colour profiles, such as sRGB or Adobe RGB, to maintain consistency between digital and physical formats. Even with these measures, factors such as the type of paper, printing technique, and ambient lighting conditions where the print is displayed can influence the final appearance.

Understanding these differences ensures buyers have realistic expectations, leading to greater satisfaction with the artistry and quality of the purchased print.
