How long will my order take?

All of our prints and frames are made to order so lead times will vary depending on the size and complexity of your order.
Our rolled prints are supplied by a local small business and are usually ready to collect within 7 days. Our frames are made in house and typically take between 5 and 10 days if all materials are in stock. Canvas pieces typically produced within 7 - 14 days and 2-3 weeks for our aluminium prints as they are sourced from our interstate small business suppliers (Allow up to an additional 7-10 days if interstate shipping is required).
If you're working to a deadline or need your order urgently, let us know and we can usually make this happen for you by speeding up the process where we can! Get in touch if you're not sure, or leave us a note on your order at checkout.

What happens if my order arrives damaged?

In the rare event your order arrives damaged, we will replace the damaged for you ASAP.

How do I know which size or print type will fit my space?

It can be difficult to know what kind of artwork will best suit your space. Fortunately, we offer a helpful digital mockup service - just send us a photo of your space along with a reference measurement and your image choices and we will create a to-scale mockup of Louise's artwork on your walls!

I have a specific size requirement for my print but don't see it listed on your website, is this an option?

Yes! Louise has carefully chosen her set range of sizes to ensure you get the best value for money, but that doesn't mean other sizes can't be done!
Get in touch with your requirements, and we can adjust our sizes to suit your space. We also offer digital to-scale mockups so you better visualise your print type and size in your space - all we need is a photo of your space and a reference measurement!

I'm looking for a photo of _____ but I can't find one, do you have any?

Quite Possibly! Get in touch with your request. Louise can also shoot on consignment where appropriate.

What is the difference between Limited Edition and Open Edition images?

Louise has 2 kinds of different image types - "Open Edition" and "Limited Edition". What's the difference?!
Open Editions are for images that can be printed indefinitely - there is no to limit to the number of copies that be printed. Limited Editions are for special or unique images that are limited to a set number of prints (typically only 20) and are assigned edition numbers (e.g 1/20). Once all editions are sold, that's it! The image will never be printed again.

A Limited Edition image could be special because:

  • The photograph was very difficult to capture (e.g taken in a very remote/hard to access area).

  • It showcases something extra special or unique.

  • It could never be replicated (e.g a ‘one-in-a-million’ shot).

  • It personally means something special to Louise as an artist.

    They also receive special treatment when they are produced:

  • Each print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity which includes its edition number and information about the photograph.

  • They are printed on premium archival papers known for particular qualities that Louise selects with the image in mind. For example a heavy-weight matte cotton rag for crisp, fine detail and a Baryta-style “gold fibre gloss” paper (known for its exceptionally vivid colour and tonal reproduction) for a more artistic finish.

  • Framed images are made with our premium range of timbers, including a popular Tasmanian oak.

  • All Limited Edition prints come with non-reflective glass as an included upgrade.

How often does Louise photograph?

“I photograph as often as I can! In the wet season I'm photographing a lot more as I try to capture the unique light and skies that come with the season. In the dry season I tend to shoot less around the Darwin area and plan more of the longer trips into more remote areas of the Territory.” - Louise

What camera does Louise use?

“I currently shoot with primarily a Fuji GFX 100S medium format camera. I also use a Canon 5DSr.” - Louise

DoES Louise use photoshop?

“All of my images go through an edit process. Typically the adjustments I make to images are very minor and include corrective measures such as correcting shadows and highlights, correcting horizons, lens distortion and sharpness. Most of my images I use a series of contrast layers to enhance particular areas of an image. That's pretty much it. I rarely edit the colours in my images and try to capture the landscape at the magic hours around sunrise, sunset and stormy skies!” - Louise

Does Louise offer workshops?

Unfortunately, this is not something currently available. However, Louise does have a series of blogs and tutorials on the website that may help out beginner photographers.
