Metal Prints | Product Spotlight

"Canvas is for old people", said one of my favorite clients ever to me at our ordering session. "I can't believe anyone still has these." I had sort of brought it out sheepishly at the end of showing her my product offerings, because I had one, and because it was on my price list. Who wouldn't show someone everything on their price list, right? I thought I should, even though I had never had anyone actually order one. I had kicked around the idea of getting rid of canvases, but this was kind of early on, and I thought that Professional Photographers had to offer canvas.Except that I'd never had anyone buy one.And then I showed her the metal print.When I first saw the metal print myself, swoon. It was like no product I'd seen before to offer my clients. (Um, or my own walls, frankly!) I sit looking now at one of the first photos I fell in love with from a session, a tattoo artist and his teeny girl. This one below. I just LOVE metal prints.What is a metal print, you ask?A metal print is created when the lab takes the image and through some fancy  high heat technology, fuses it onto a piece of metal.The thickness is shown below.I always get them with rounded corners, so that no one puts their eye out. (Safety first, you know.)They come all ready to hang with a float block, which pops it off the wall and requires just a single nail to hang it. You can slide it along the channel/groove, so it doesn't have to be a precisely, exactly perfectly-chosen nail, either.Just do your best, and then slide it along the channel into place.The best part about them is that it's like these were created for my images. Seriously. I love how my photos look on these. Match made in heaven.I don't offer a ton of specialty products to wade through, but I know something awesome when I see it - and then I have to make it available to my peeps.So, while canvas isn't just for old people, metal prints are definitely for awesome ones.You'll probably want at least one (wall display?) from your next session!
