Giclée: What's in a name?

Ever wondered what our company name means?

Well - we didn't make it up, but it is a coined term originally intended to remove the "digital" connotation from the process we use. Read more here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giclée, for an overview, and here: http://www.dpandi.com/giclee/giclee.html for details from someone who knows.

We see all sorts of nonsense explanations, but we've done our homework, and these are the one you can rely on.

Surf Photography: Alan Ashworth Portfolio Gallery

If you love New Zealand coastal images - particularly those that are centred around the surfing world, then you need look no further than the current and growing portfolio of one Alan Ashworth, of Muriwai.

Alan is a well known name in surfing imagery circles both here and around the world. Please view our slideshow of the beautiful canvas prints we've made for Alan, all of which are available for sale to you. We know these images well, having personally made large prints from every single one. We have our favourites. Which are yours?

Competition Successes

It's a continuing source of satisfaction to rub shoulders with talented people. One always hopes that some of the talent will "rub off"! We like to bask in the reflected glory of their successes (even when it's not based on anything we've done!) So here are some happy tales which we pleased to share. :D

Malcolm McNeill is a client of ours doing extremely well with his photography. He has had two recent notable successes which we feel deserve a mention.

Auckland Photoday was way back in June - time flies when you're as busy as we are - it doesn't seem like very long ago we were racking our brains ourselves trying to think what to shoot for it. Of course we spent more time thinking than doing, and ultimately didn't enter this year. Hundreds of others did of course, and among them was Malcolm, about whose winning shot "Te Henga" the judges said:


"This is a cleverly composed and happy winter moment of fun obviously taken during a family’s beach trip. The son’s portrait is both a natural and positive image filled with genuine affection. Sometimes what seems the simplest image is the hardest to achieve."

No part of Malcolm's success with this can be attributed to Giclée Print Limited. We can, however, boast that this image did look absolutely wonderful printed on our textured fine-art paper, shortly after the competition.

The next item is one that we can lay claim to have played a small part in. Malcolm's image "The Swimmer" was awarded second prize in the North Shore National Salon of Photography, and was also printed by us on textured fine-art paper. Naturally, we think it looked great.

Well done, Malcolm!
