Sorry, not sorry for the repetitive theme from last week's to this post. There was a plan to fill this week's edition with tantalising liquid delights from the east-side. However, the wagon's alternator had different ideas. Who doesn't like a $700.00 round trip to Ngatea anyway?
One of the... if not THE thing I love most about my job is selling prints direct to clients. The PhotoCPL website is geared to selling un-framed pieces, which makes for far safer sending. But I get a decent amount of commissions where I handle the print and framing job, right from a consult and measure up at the clients' home to hand delivery. It's super satisfying and so cool to share their stoke of a new piece.

Generally, the custom commissions are because the client wants a bigger piece than is available on PhotoCPL . At the first consult, I'll take a pix with the phone of the space the piece is intended to go. Then supply the client with a visual, like this...
In this case, the clients were toying with the options of a stretched canvas or more traditional framing. After seeing the mocked up positional, which is more like a canvas, Shay and Alana went for classic black box framing, which matches the other art in their home.
They went big! The finished outside dimensions are 1760mm wide x 1200mm high.
Happy client, and very happy photog- thanks Shay! ... although not so stoked I managed to get glare in exactly the same place in both phone pix.
Offshores starting tomods... frothing. See you at the beach.
