As you would have seen, I have been going through a few changes, and with it has brought a new look website and some exciting new things too.
Quality over Quantity
So, the my product offering as been on a diet and slimmed down rather a lot. Rather than bombarding you with what was over 100 prints, I have drastically reduced what's on offer, focusing on my absolute best work. I take a lot of pride in my photography, and I felt that previously this never came across. And if I don't take pride in it, how will my clients, right?
The result is in a more refined but consistently high quality photography available to purchase.
I've Been Framed!
Probably the bit that I am most excited about with reducing my print lines is the ability to create a better offering. This means I am able to offer framing! Not only can I offer frames (with mounts), but your prints will be professionally fitted by my print partners, theprintspace, a leading printing and framing company. I don't know about you, but I have found framing a nightmare to sort in the past, so I'm glad I am able to offer a professional service for you.
Currently I offer three frames (Black, White & Oak). These are wooden frames which you can be rest assured are sustainably sourced. Each frame is hand made especially to fit your print, together with some beautiful craftsmanship.
Each framed print will also come with a white mount, designed to direct your gaze straight into the photo, and it also protects the print from touching the glass and causing damage in the long term.
I'm so excited to be able to offer this service for you, removing the hassle of it all and can't wait for you to see the results.
Going Global
Another thing I am super excited about is the ability to ship my prints, including framed prints, worldwide. In partnership with theprintspace, each order will be fulfilled by them, utilising their express courier capabilities, meaning that not only can I ship globally, but also it will get to you in no time at all. Currently I offer shipping within the UK, EU/EEA, United States, Canada, Australia & New Zealand. I know I have a few interested parties from these countries, so really pleased that I am able to cater to you guys.
If you are living in any other countries, please do get in contact with me, and I'm sure I can sort shipping to you too.
Exclusivity Options
As part of my quality over quantity approach, I will from time to time being releasing limited edition photography prints. These will be what I consider my absolute best photography work, and therefore giving exclusivity. In practice this will mean that I will only release a set number of prints (no more...so don't ask, ha!) meaning the opportunity to have a bit of a rarity. Alongside the top service offering, you will receive fully branded delivery with a Certificate of Authenticity documenting your edition's number. I already have some potentials in the wings which have not seen the light of day yet, so will go into these more as I release them.
Make sure you have signed up
With all these exciting changes, make sure you are signed up to my mailing list. You will be in receipt of my latest news, and also get a heads up on any limited edition prints about to drop. Maybe even priority purchasing too...
Not only that you will automatically be put into a prize draw to win a free A4 print of Sgwd Ddwli Uchaf waterfall in the Brecon Beacons. This particular print has never been sold, and never will, so it will be an absolute exclusive James Kelly-Smith Photography print furnishing your walls. I will be announcing the winner on 23rd October.
