About Greyscales
Greyscales is a printing studio specialising in expertly produced, colour and black and white photographs that will last a lifetime.
Greyscales and all of the printing is managed by Craig Holmes. Craig has nearly thirty years of photographic experience, acquiring darkroom printing skills in the 1990's whilst working as a press photographer. He later moved into magazine and commercial photography, and embraced the world of digital printing. During this time he also managed the Picture Pantry photo library and developed their giclee photo printing service - which further developed in to Greyscales.
Craig’s experience of producing prints for exhibitions together with his knowledge of camera and printer capabilities, means that he is well placed to facilitate prints to meet the most exacting requirements. He has worked alongside high quality, demanding clients including the BBC, the Financial Times, National Geographic, Sunday Telegraph and Virgin in the past and can produce prints suitable for home and business display as well as limited edition exhibition quality prints that meet museum archival standards.
The prints are professionally produced using world class Hahnemühle papers in a selection of finishes and Lucia II Canon archival pigments inks. This combination will preserve your giclee photographic prints for at least two hundred years. Images can be printed in almost any size, and we can arrange custom size printing if not listed on the website.
If required, we can also edit your images or perform slight retouching to remove blemishes, improve tones, reduce grain and the like. If you prefer, we can do this with you, or we can do it for you, preparing test prints as required.
Prints can be ordered directly from the website and will typically be with you in a couple of days. International orders may take a few days longer. Alternatively, we can manage printing for photographic collections, preparing orders on demand.
We are customer-focused and more than happy to discuss your prints and offer advice on your best options. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to get in touch.
