Photo sizes
Photographs are available in seven generic sizes, from "a" to "j". The table below shows the physical sizes of the longest edge of the print, there is a border so the image will be slightly smaller.

a:
9" (288mm)
b:
12" (305mm)
c:
16" (405mm)
d:
20" (508mm)
e:
24" (610mm)
f:
32" (815mm)
g:
46" (1160mm)
h:
65" (1650mm)
i:
80" (2032mm)
j:
100" (2540mm)
k:
120" (3048mm)

The other dimension of the photo will depend on the shape of the image. Not all sizes are available for all images, and the sizes are nominal, ie. they can change slightly according to the image shape. If you need to know exactly what size an image will be get in touch.

Why are some photos not available in certain sizes?
Two reasons, print size and scan resolution. Take the two hypothetical photos depicted in the following graphics...

It doesn't make sense to print LONG PHOTO at 10 inches in width because it would only be 1 inch high. At the other end of the scale, to print SQUARE PHOTO 65 inches wide it would also have to be 65 inches high, this would require a scan of 16,250x16,250 pixels which equates to a 790mb file. None of my photos are capable of being scanned to that resolution, although some come close.

The dropdown box at the bottom of each photo's gallery page will detail the sizes available for that photo, as shown in the following example.

Note that the photo in this example is not available as prints of size 'a' or 'b', for the reasons detailed above, ie the print would be too small, and not in sizes 'h-k' because it would be too large for that particular photograph.

Having said that, custom and often larger sizes can usually be made, it depends on the image. Contact me for details on other sizes.
