When you purchase an image photographed by Bruce Thomas, you can be certain his passion for his craft extends to every stage in the production process.

Cameras
Bruce uses a variety of cameras in a range of formats including 35 mm, 6X7 cm and a 5" X 4" monorail view camera which he’s adapted for use on location. With every camera, the choice of lens, film stock, aperture, filtration and exposure ensures the chosen image will be seen in its most favorable light.

Grain
Generally, with colour images, grain is not an issue, however black & white images which have been photographed with a 35 mm camera may exhibit a grain structure when enlarged.This is a common aspect of 35 mm B & W photography and only becomes apparent when prints are enlarged to a size above A2.

Materials
All images made by Bruce are from negatives or transparencies which have been scanned on commercial drum scanners at high- resolution specifically and output as digital prints from the latest Epson printers, including the 9600 wide- format 7-colour inkjet printer.
   


Inks
The inks used are Epson Ultrachrome Archival ColorFast inks, especially developed for the current generation of inkjet printers. Each ink particle has a very smooth, uniform resin coating, creating exceptionally sharp image reproduction on a range of papers. These inks also provide our prints with the ultimate in archival properties.

These prints are referred to as 'Giclee' ( zhee-clay ) from the French verb 'gicler' to squirt. A Giclee print is a term applied to a print of the highest standard in digital printmaking technology.

Framing
Our framers provide their services to many of Australia's leading collectors and galleries. They use only the finest materials with all mounts and overmatts produced from acid-free, archival quality stock and the frames themselves produced from selected timbers. We highly recommend all prints be framed under glass or Perspex for maximum protection and archivability.
