My work as a fine art photographer reflects my originality and creative vision. A fine art print that captures the essence of the photograph and gives it physical life is the end result; taking the picture is merely the first step. Yet, the quality of the printing lab that is chosen does have a significant impact on the final result of a print. Selecting a reputable printing lab that can best bring my artwork to life is essential because of this.
One such lab that has established a reputation for offering premium fine art prints in Malta is Photo Images. Many photographers, including myself, use Photo Images, which is run by Matthew and Marisa Briffa with the help of Ms. Christine Falzon. They are the perfect option for any artist who wishes to guarantee that the prints they produce are of the highest caliber, thanks to their attention to detail, professionalism, and devotion to their trade.

The use of quality fine art paper from Ilford Galerie distinguishes them from other printing labs. In the field of photography, Ilford is an acclaimed company, and its fine art papers are regarded as the benchmark for fine art papers.
My first choice of paper for my black and white images is the Smooth cotton rag 310gsm. This paper is famous for its extensive tonal range, and clarity. The paper is the best option for fine art photography because of its smooth surface, which offers the ideal foundation for reproducing fine details and textures.
The quality of the paper is only half the equation, though. The act of printing itself is equally significant. That is where the printing lab's experience comes in. The expertise at Photo Images Malta has numerous years of experience in fine art printing and has developed the technique for accurately capturing the tiny details of a photograph on paper.
Every print they produce is of the highest quality because to their attention to detail, and they take great care to guarantee that the tonal range is exactly as it appears on the calibrated monitor.
Every fine art photographer who wishes to present their work in the finest way must choose the correct printing facility. The final result can be make-or-break depending on the paper's quality, the printing technique, and the level of detail.
Photo Images Malta has been recognized as a certified Ilford Printer Partner in 2020.
