Your Questions, Answered
-
Online previews are web-optimized for fast loading—meaning smaller files, compression, and standard color spaces that can look different across phones/monitors. Prints, on the other hand, are produced from full-resolution master files and are judged in the real world: detail, micro-contrast, and tonal depth often show up more beautifully in physical form than any screen preview can.
-
All prints and wall art are produced by WhiteWall, an award-winning professional photo lab, and ship directly from the lab—no garage printing, no storage, no middle handling. That keeps quality consistent and reduces time and risk in transit.
-
WhiteWall is repeatedly recognized as a top-tier lab (including multiple “Best Photo Lab” awards), and their products are built like presentation pieces—not posters. Options like photo prints under acrylic glass use a professional mounting stack (acrylic + print + stable aluminum Dibond backing) designed for impact, depth, and longevity.
-
WhiteWall stands behind the work with a satisfaction guarantee and a 5-year warranty on quality prints, so if something arrives with an issue, we’ll get you taken care of.

A quick rule: small (8×10–12×18) for shelves and tight walls, medium (16×24–24×36) for bedrooms/offices, and large (30×45+) for living rooms and statement walls. If you’re unsure, use painter’s tape to mock the size on your wall before ordering. Larger sizes reveal more presence and depth—especially on acrylic and aluminum.
-
Absolutely—many of my favorite images live in the gallery and on social media and aren’t always listed as store products. If you see a photograph you’d like printed, Contact me and send me a link (or screenshot) of the image, along with your preferred size and print style (paper, aluminum, or acrylic). I’ll confirm availability, recommend the best format for that specific image.
