I currently sell products in 3 different forms; canvas, metal prints and standard photo paper prints. Each has their own advantages and disadvantages as well as price structure, so if you have questions see below for a little help OR feel free to contact me directly at caansphotos@gmail.com to discuss. Please note that I use outside printers who will publish and send the prints directly to you. I have selected the publishers listed below in an attempt to balance quality with the best price to pass along to you!
