Fine Art Photography

Fine art photography of Western Australia by Richard Wheat.

Thankyou for visiting our site.

Fine Art Images can be found in the Image Galleries

Images in our fine art photography collection are of the highest quality and represent many days of creative effort. They are offered as fine art to decorate your walls.

We have many other images which are also of a very high technical standard. You will find these in our new Stock Image Library. All images on this site, including all the stock images, are available for purchase as prints in a number of different formats (see Available Formats).

To view our fine art image galleries, click on the Image galleries menu item on the left, or click here.

Images are being added on a regular basis so please re-visit when you are able to.

Prints are produced to the highest standards available using archival quality materials and pigment based inks.

Prints have an expected life of between 75 and 200 years (depending on the particular materials used - see Available Formats) if suitably protected (framed to archival standards) and displayed out of direct sunlight. You may like to browse Wilhelm Research www.wilhelm-research.com (link leaves this site) for further information.

All of our prints have Richard's personal guarantee. Contact us (details below) if you have any problems with our prints.

A word about viewing our fine art images on your monitor

Our fine art images are intended to be viewed as large (greater than A3) prints. Because of the very low resolution and small size of computer displays, you may not be able to fully appreciate our images when viewed on your computer monitor. Our images have fine detail and subtle colour and tonal variations that are not practical to view over the Internet (at the moment). They are designed to be fine art prints on your walls.

When viewing one of our large prints in person, your eyes are able to explore the image going from detail to detail around the picture. They represent a different type of photographic composition. The popularity of the Internet and digital cameras has resulted (in our view) in a prevalence of simplicity in photographic compositions. The images that present best when viewed on your computer monitor are simple compositions with minimal detail. To some extent, small, low resolution images have become the norm.

Our images are usually captured using medium format and large format cameras. When we present a 32x40inch (810x1010mm) print, the fine detail is still present. It is not an up-rez (blow-up) of a low resolution digital file. Your eyes are able to wander around the composition and explore it.

As well as these considerations, computer monitors are also unable to reproduce the colours present in our images.
