cUSTOM MADE FOLIO BOX

My company name is “Right Brain for Hire.” While I do mostly photography, I can’t leave behind

my history of

creativity and design. I have painted and drawn for years and I’m a maker from way back. I use

the right side of my brain during every shoot and in the products I design; presenting unique items

that no other photographer can offer. The first of which is this custom made (by me) folio box.

During your shoot I will look at your decor or ask you about your design preferences. During your

consultation/ordering session, I print out a selection of the best prints and showcase them in a

folio box. You can purchase it separately or it is included in my largest package.

I make these boxes completely from scratch. I cut acid-free book board to a custom size, the pa-

pers are hand made, silk screened, selected specifically for you. Inside are up to 25 matted prints.

The elastic ribbon closure doubles as a display option: a print can be displayed on the outside

of the box, using the folio as an easel. How’s that for double duty? Or, if you wish, I include four

self-adhesive origami corners as another display option.

This box is ideal for clients who want several prints but don’t want to be overwhelmed with dis-

playing too many their walls. It is also designed to hold images from future shoots as well.

Stay tuned for future custom products made my me:

Printing

The labs used for printing your images are only available to professional photographers. These labs

guarantee 100% color accurate, quality-assured prints and first-class finishing services. Each print is

hand inspected to be perfect. A pro lab color printing is superior to any consumer services. If you are

interested, I have a print book comparing my labs to Costco and Target.

Paper Choices

Kodak Endura paper: this is what I usually order for most prints. I recommend the luster finish for my

photos, which have incredible detail with animal fur and human skin. I find the smooth surface allows

the crispness and nuances of a photo to shine through.

Fine Art Velvet: Printed on 100% cotton, acid free paper,

fine art velvet prints look and feel like watercolor paper.

They’re smooth and beautiful. The delicate surface of the

velvet print is less resistant to scratches than other kinds

of prints. To keep these prints looking great, they must be

handled with care.

Prints

Mounting.

Regular Mounting: All prints are ordered “mounted” (unless you request prints for scrapbooking).

Each photo is backed with styrene or foam board. The prints are more durable and can even be

displayed as is on a table top easel while you decide on framing.

Standouts: The next step after regular mounted prints, standouts are images laminated to a

masonite or foam core board and edged with your choice of finish: black, white, wood, metal or

bamboo.There are so many looks achieved with this option. You can order one big print, for a

poster-like look or you can do a multi-print wall arrangement. You can layer the photos for a col-

lage-type look.

WrapsCanvas Wrap

Canvas is a stretched, frameless option. We can either wrap the image around the sides or use a border

in a coordinating colour or black. It is a nice, modern look that has a bit of a classic feel because of the

canvas. Canvas does result in a softer look because of the texture, so I would recommend it for larg-

er sizes since smaller photos get lost in the texture. You can order a wider, 2 1/2” or narrower, 1 1/2”

thickness.

Image Block

You can get the look of a wrapped canvas, but more

punch and bright (because there is no canvas weave) with

a wrapped board. It is a modern option to a canvas wrap.

Image blocks also look great in groupings. As part of my

service, I will help you make a custom arrangement for your home, if you so desire. I will take a photo

of your space and suggest a perfect grouping:

MetalMetal Prints

This kind of image is very modern looking. There are two ways to print: with a white base coat

or on the metal itself. Not all images can handle being on the metal without a base of white.

Black and white or photos with a lot of grey look awesome but need good lighting to highlight

the photo. A have an image of a grey tabby kitten that looks spectacular with an led spotlight

or placed in a bright area. For most photos, however, the white base coat option really makes

colours pop. I did a nice photo of my husband with his (dearly departed car) that looks really

amazing in metal. I ordered the acrylic front

option with corner bolts. Very modern. The

prints are very reasonable in price but when

you add the acrylic face, the price does in-

crease substantially. I think it’s my favourite

image mounting option.

Session FeeSession Fee An 8 x 10 print at Costco is $1.49. A mounted print from me is $35. A 16 x 20 canvas is

$37.99 and from Right Brain for Hire, it’s $185! Why can’t I just give you digitals and you

print yourself? A couple of reasons. Firstly the cost isn’t in the paper or ink, just as a paint-

ing isn’t the sum of the paint and canvas. My time and knowledge, artistry, equipment all

go into making your images. “But isn’t that what the session fee is for?” Not really. The ses-

sion fee is really about my shooting time. There is no guarantee that you will order anything

(of course you will because your images will be fabulous!) but the session fee helps to offset

that.

Whatever you do order though, I will give you a complimentary digital copy that you can

post to social media. I do ask that you get prints through me to ensure high quality, but it

really is your choice.

And finally. Did you hear about the client of Rembrandt’s that didn’t like the colour of his

portrait so he smeared a yellow glaze over the whole image?

No of course not. Didn’t happen. Nobody would be so

bold as to change the vision and art of an artist after

the fact. So, in that spirit I ask all of my respected clients

to also respect the images I produce and not alter, colour-

ize, crop, make black and white, etc. any images I produce.

Thanks so much!

OMG! How MUCH!?
