Most images displayed here and in archived galleries are available for purchase. Prints can be purchased for personal use or licensed for editorial or commercial use.

 

Prints are available in a range of sizes and finishes. Sometimes images will need to be cropped for certain print sizes (see diagrams below) or modified for a particular print finish. For this reason images are prepared individually and specifically to order.

 

All prints are made at a Professional Lab on traditional photographic papers.

 

Montages and posters are also available to order. Other products such as books, gifts, keyrings, travel coffe mugs can be arranged.

 

Please contact hotrodmattimages.com regarding any images you wish to acquire.

 

 

Print Ratios

One of the reasons I like to individualise orders is to ensure that the best possible image is achieved for desired print sizes. Not all standard size prints have the same proportions. The diagrams below show how much of an image can be lost if a print ratio that doesn't suit the image is selected. In most cases, the image can be edited/croped to suit the desired print size.

 

The first image shows how a photograph that has been shot to fill the frame would appear in prints such as 4x6 inch (10x15 cm), 8x12 inch (20x30 cm), 12x18 inch (30x45 cm).

The second is the same image on a 5x7" (12.5x17.5 cm) sheet.

Again, in the third image you can see the ratio difference on the 6x8 inch (15x20 cm) image.

Lastly, the ever popular 8x10 inch (20x25 cm) print.

 

Most print ratios are compatible with all but the most tightly shot images. I am always happy to crop an image to show you how the final output will fit the print.
