IMAGE REPRODUCTION

Owing to photo chromatic anomalies caused by a combination of certain dyes and materials, especially in man-made fibres, it is sometimes impossible to record on camera the exact colour of materials as perceived by the human eye.

All images will be retouched using our professional judgment and when processing images we will endeavour to achieve a pleasing overall balance based on natural skin tones, realism and standard colour settings. All our prints are fully calibrated to achieve an optimum finished product. Due to the custom nature of photographs, retouching and printing, we can't guarantee any particular outcome, we reserve the right to have the final say on whether a product/print is deemed correct.
