General FAQs
-
We offer acrylic, metal, canvas, and photo paper prints (both Hahnemühle and Canon paper).
Please see our FAQ section describing all the different formats.
-
The default options for metals, acrylics, and canvas prints are unframed but come ready to mount. Photo prints are unframed and do not include mounting hardware.
We do offer multiple custom framing options, but those choices are not yet reflected on the website. We are working to get those options online within the next few months, but in the mean time feel free to email bill@lensobjectivesphotography.com for a list of our custom framing options as well as quotes for various sizes.
If you would instead rather have us deliver your print to a custom framing company or leave out mounting hardware so you can frame yourself, please email us at bill@lensobjectivesphotography.com.

We have selected the photos on our site based on the quality and integrity of the photograph.
Some images on Instagram may not hold up when printed large, but if there is a photo you would like, please email us at bill@lensobjectivesphotography.com, and we will see what we can do.

We make every effort to ensure what you receive closely matches what you see on screen but in most cases screens can represent images with a much higher color and brightness range than physical media. That said, metal and acrylic prints get very close, with canvas and photo paper offering a more traditional look. There are also other factors such as screen calibration and accuracy discussed below.
Color Accuracy and Screen Calibration
Most consumer screens are not color-calibrated and can display images with varying brightness, contrast, and color saturation depending on the display type, lighting conditions, and settings.
Our editing and proofing process is done on professionally calibrated monitors using industry-standard color calibration tools to ensure color accuracy during post-production.
Printing and ICC Profiles
To bridge the gap between screen and print, we use customized ICC (International Color Consortium) profiles. These profiles allow us to soft-proof images providing a preview showing exactly how colors will render on a given medium before printing. This process ensures optimal fidelity in tonal range, color balance, and contrast.
Media and White Point Considerations
Different printing materials have unique characteristics that can affect the appearance of the final print, especially in terms of the white point (the brightness and hue of the material’s "white" base) :
Canvas and some fine art photo papers tend to have a warmer and less bright white point. This means highlights and whites may appear slightly muted or creamier compared to a backlit screen. These materials also absorb more ink, which can slightly reduce vibrancy but this is also what gives a canvas print its artistic flair.
Acrylic and metal prints offer a much higher fidelity to the original image. This is largely due to their brighter white point and optical quality, which provides optimal contrast, detail, and color.
Our Commitment to Consistency
Each print is reviewed for quality and accuracy. Our goal is to honor the integrity of the original image and ensure that your fine art print reflects the artistic vision as closely as possible—both in tone and detail.
If you are especially concerned about color accuracy for your space or project, we are happy to provide guidance or even test prints in certain cases.
