Q:How does printing your photography work change the experience for you as a photographer and why do you think printing your photos is essential in the digital age? A: Printing my photos has become a huge part of my workflow now that I am exhibiting my work in galleries. There is absolutely nothing more satisfying to me as a photographer to see the final product hanging on a wall in a gallery or someone's home!

“There is absolutely nothing more satisfying than holding those cherished memories in your hands, seeing my final product hanging on a wall in a gallery or in someone’s home is so validating.” — Jen Mullowney on her handmade Printique Portfolio Album. Meet Photographer, Jen Mullowney, a self taught photographer based in Bedford, New York. She photographs families, weddings, events, etc, but street photography is her true passion. Printique found her work through a LinkedIn portfolio contest, where we turned the winner's photos into a Handmade Album. Printique had the pleasure of hosting Jen at our Brooklyn Lab, to see her Portfoilo printed in real time. The images she chose were of a Women's March in 2019.

Sponsoring small businesses isn't just about financial support; it's an investment in the dreams and passions of our neighbors. Printique is proud to spotlight Sweet Sundays Cafe, a delightful Black-owned business nestled in the heart of Flatbush, Brooklyn! We discovered this gem through the talented local photographer, Aaron, AKA Underground NYC, who shared his exciting news about showcasing his work there. It felt like the perfect opportunity to celebrate both a local artist and a burgeoning small business. We believe in the power of community, and what better way to engage than by supporting the vibrant tapestry of small businesses that make our neighborhoods unique? Sweet Sundae Cafe embodies the spirit of Brooklyn, offering delicious treats and a welcoming atmosphere.

Metal vs. Canvas: A Tale of Two Textures. Today on Print Academy: Choosing Between Metal and Canvas Prints Each offers a distinct look and feel, so understanding their characteristics is key to showcasing your photos at their best. Our expert videographers weighed in, and here's their advice: "The choice between metal and canvas often comes down to the texture you want. Metal offers a sleek, modern feel with vibrant colors, while canvas provides a classic, artistic look with a more textured surface." — Artisan at Printique ??Printing on Metal: Sleekness and Vibrance Metal prints are known for their vibrant colors, sharp details, and modern aesthetic. The smooth, reflective surface adds a unique dimension to your images. Best for: Images with bold colors, sharp details, urban scenes, landscapes with strong light, and images where you want colors to "pop." ??High-Contrast Images: Photos with strong contrasts and saturated colors, like sunsets or abstract art, are ideal for metal. Detailed Textures: While metal itself is smooth, it can beautifully reproduce the details of textures within the image, like the intricate patterns of leaves or the roughness of rock. Printique Metal Options: https://lnkd.in/egz-sAi2 ???Printing on Canvas: Classic Artistry and Texture Canvas prints offer a classic, artistic look with a textured surface that mimics the feel of an original painting. This texture adds depth and warmth to your photos. Best for: Portraits, landscapes with a painterly feel, images with soft lighting, and photos where you want to emphasize texture and mood. Brushstrokes: Images that already have a painterly quality or visible brushstrokes are enhanced by the canvas texture. Fabric Textures: Photos of fabrics, textiles, or clothing gain a tactile quality when printed on canvas. Skin Texture: Portraits can look especially beautiful on canvas, as the texture softens the skin and adds a touch of artistry. Natural Textures: Landscapes featuring trees, grass, or other natural elements benefit from the organic feel of canvas. Printique Canvas Options: https://lnkd.in/eB295XaA ?? Can't decide?
