Help !
If you are unfamiliar with mounting and frames don't worry, drop me an email telling me what you would like to achieve and I will provide some advice and further information. A good mount and frame can make so much difference to your long-term enjoyment of the picture.

Further print choice, extended fade resistance, mounting and framing options, including canvas prints will be posted on this site later but are currently available by email ordering at extra charges.

The above material will fade if left in direct sunlight so use glass frames on shaded walls to give many years service. As a guide only, as I have no way of applying accelerated testing, you can expect in the order of up to 25 years under glass as above before any appreciable fading occurs according to recent inkjet print reports. Please see detailed recommendations in the terms and conditions below.

If fade resistance is particularly important please contact me for advice. Extended fade resistance prints (up to 70 years plus under glass according to recent independent test reports, although some manufactuirers claims are up to 100 years) and canvas prints are available at 10% extra charge now. Extended fade resistance does come at a cost though of a reduced colour brilliance according to photographic and computer press sources, although this is very subjective and also depends on the colours and contrast in the picture subject.


Returns policy:
30 day no-quibble return policy is provided on trust because I want you to be delighted with your purchase, but print must be returned in excellent condition and well packed.If the item arrives to you damaged I want to know about it. I need the goods back to make the complaint to the carriers or print/frame/mount service and despatch a replacement to you as soon as possible. Alternatively a full refund of money paid is available. Currently return postage must be paid by you though.



Terms and Conditions

The purpose of these terms and conditions is to be fair and provide a good service. They will be changed from time to time as our business expands.

The terms and conditions that follow will become part of all contracts for the provisions of photography service by Chris Barnes (or his representative and hereafter-named "the photographer"), unless otherwise agreed in writing.

Where a commission is booked the photographer will attend at the time and place specified on the booking form and in addition at such additional places as may be agreed with the client and confirmed in writing.

The photographer will use his best endeavours to provide you with a satisfactory service and will use all proper care and skill in taking the photographs.

In all cases any failure of performance by the Photographer will not be regarded as a breach of contract if it is caused by circumstances beyond the Photographer's control. This includes acts of God, breakdown of equipment, or any other cause classified and understood as "force majeur".

For commissioned work, all prices assume in-house camera equipment only. Digital or film equipment must remain photographer's choice. In the event of an equipment failure and there is no alternative equipment available the shoot will be repeated at the same location or another by mutual consent at no extra charge at a time mutually agreed. The Photographer cannot be held responsible for the unavailability of the location, subject or model in such cases.
Deposits are non-returnable unless the Photographer is unable to attend on the date stated on the Booking Form.

In all cases the Photographer cannot be held responsible for circumstances beyond their control, such as film or film laboratory processing, printing or mounting faults, or equipment failures, however best efforts will be made to anticipate or correct any problems that arise. The Photographer's liability in the event of any defect or failure of photographs or services supplied will be limited to the return of all sums previously paid.
