FINE ART PHOTOGRAPHY BY GRAHAM HOBART
Graham Hobart answers your Questions
Why does your work look more like art than photography?
Over the years I developed various techniques by manipulating the way light, composition and detail work together to create images that have all the grit and character of old Victorian book illustrations.
This nostalgic look is meant to take your imagination back to a time when artists ventured out into the far reaches of the unknown world and returned with drawings and sketches which become grand paintings that described the wondrous beauty of breathtaking landscapes, strange plants, exotic species and unfamiliar cultures. These masterpieces would then be copied and distributed to the wider public in the form of illustrated books and fine art prints .
It is my hope that rediscovering this feeling of wonder toward the Natural World Hobart will inspire you to do something about the decline of the natural world and reverse the current march to self-destruction.
What does "Limited Edition Print" mean?
As a fine art photographer I am committed to selling only one edition of 50 prints for each image regardless of size.
Most photographers sell a number of different limited editions of an image. One edition for each size sold. As a result when an edition is sold out it is tempting to select a new crop and "presto!" a new edition created.
This is something that I think is unfair to the early collectors and ultimately degrades the longterm value of the artist's work.
When 50 images are sold that is it. The edition is closed. There will always remain the option of what do I do with the artist proofs.
I personally print, number and sign each print before framing. Each print comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
Do you offer Framing?
Yes. I spent a lot of time designing a particular framing style that is especially suited to my illustrative look. My design celebrates the beauty of the deckled edge cotton rag that the images are printed on by having it float above the matte.
All materials that come in contact with the print are museum quality, archival products from the adhesives to the mattes. Glazing is always optically coated to minimize reflections and block damaging ultraviolet light.
Purchasing a loose print and framing it yourself is always an option. Shipping framed prints is usually handled though specialty art movers that know how to protect your valuable art.
