Access the Galleries using the menu on the left hand side of this page. I have several videos on You Tube which show some of my photographic work. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7FdNnEUySI I also have many images posted on the Photography Blog website. These date mainly from 2006 to 2008 when I spent most of my time working with photography. Most of these images are suitable for printing and are kept in my archives. They may be viewed by following this link; http://www.photographyblog.com/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=5491 "John Lewis Partnership Foundations 1987" is a very popular image, shown below. A print of this was purchased by John Lewis Partnership at the Kingston Contemporary Open Exhibition (Stanley Picker Gallery, Kingston University) in 2007. See John Lewis Foundations for more information on this work.
"John Lewis Partnership Foundations 1987" 2007
The majority of my photographic art is available in this form. The photographic prints are numbered, signed, and dated, but not limited with respect to the numbers which may be (potentially) produced. However, being realistic, one should bear in mind that by virtue of the very fact that my lifetime is limited, and that I do not spend much of my time with photography, they are limited in that respect anyway. Images in numbered editions do not come with a seperate certificate of authenticity, but they are always marked with the following; the number, ie #2/NE, the title of piece, my signature, the date of the print and the year of the original images creation, including the international copyright symbol. I also keep a record of all the prints I sell numbered and signed. At the present time, some of my images which are sold as numbered and signed photographic prints, are also available as poster prints through Photobox. I may, on occasion, decide to sell photographic prints currently sold signed and numbered in other forms, and I reserve the right to do this. If I consider an image suitable for sale both directly through me (as numbered and signed) and through other bodies (as unsigned) I am obviously keen to do this. I am very happy to give you specific information pertaining to individual images, just ask if you would like more information. I keep records of the prints I sell, and I can tell you how many have been printed and in what form. Do take a look at my "Jenny Meehan Imagery" Gallery at Photobox, just follow the link; http://www.photoboxgallery.com/19507 You can purchase unsigned poster prints over the internet through the Photobox website. Why do I produce numbered editions rather than limited editions for my photographic artwork? Numbered editions can be adapted in lots of different ways, for example, they can be printed in different sizes and on different substrate, and cropped and adjusted digitally. This offers more creative freedom to me as the artist, and also offers the buyer more choice in respect that prints can be custom made to requirements, within certain perimeters as determined by me. Prints sold numbered and signed, but with no specified restriction in the potential numbers which may be produced, form the bulk of my photographic artwork. Open Edition Photographic Prints (Poster Prints) Un-numbered and unsigned open editon prints offer the lowest price, and the greatest accessibility. These are produced for me by other parties, so they are not signed or checked personally by me. I am confident of the high standards of the firm I use to print these. They are sold through my "Jenny Meehan Imagery" Gallery at Photobox. I am not putting my creative energies into marketing my work in this direction, though I am pleased I can offer some of my art in this way. My integrity as an artist is very important to me, and I consider very carefully how I distribute my work. Unless marked otherwise, photographic artwork shown on this site is most likely to be printed as numbered and signed, but not limited. This is the most practical and ethical approach to selling my photographic artwork.
"Dreams" 2006. One of the Childhood Series. Digital C-print displayed under glass. Size A4 approx.
Originally "giclee" applied to output on an Iris 3024, 3047, or the 3047G, but today, depending on who you talk to, giclee refers to digital fine art print output on any high quality inkjet, for instance, those done on an Epson 3000 or better. The name Giclee comes from the French word meaning "to spray". Various trade associations define giclee in slightly different ways but the main requirements are;
Basically a Light-jet photographic print is one created with a Light-jet printer. Galleries would describe this type of print as a Digital C-Print if it originates from a digital camera, which all of my photographic images do. With a C-Print a chemical process is used during development, as opposed to a giclee which is created by the pigment being sprayed onto the surface of the paper by the printing machine. Any prints purchased through Photobox will be Light-jet prints printed to archival quality standards. The photographic paper used is Fuji Crystal Archive, which promises fade free images for at least a lifetime, and, if cared for correctly, well beyond that.
For custom made prints I use several different companies depending on the exact specifications. Fabric is printed using a dye sublimation process, canvas prints are giclee prints, and prints on metallic paper and laminated prints are LightJet prints. I select different types of substrate for specific images, as the image and how it is presented are integral to the work, , but there is often some flexibility in this. Please contact me to discuss your requirements. I have carefully selected the printing companies I work with to ensure that you receive prints of the very best quality. With technology the way it is now, archival quality printing is now very accessible. I can give you specific information on the printing processes and materials used in the making of your artwork if you should wish. If you would like to find out more, then the Fine Art Guild website is an excellent source of information on all kinds of matters related to printed art today. Please bear in mind that the images on this website are only for preview purposes. Depending on the resolution of your monitor, the images may not display at their optimum quality. This is due to the fact they have been compressed. It is not possible to see all of the fine detail because of the low resolution. My photographic prints are produced using the full resolution digital images and I maintain very high standards regarding print quality. The nature of the image and the size of the original file will affect the maximum size I can offer to produce something for you.
