About

Andre Distel Photography

ARTIST STATEMENT

I love photography. I love creating beautiful things. I love sharing those things with people. People I know and people I don’t know. Some people I got to know, because I share. I don’t take photos of everything. I’d rather only take a few photos but plan my time carefully. I fly more than 100,000 miles per year. I shoot Nikon. I have never taken any photography classes. I had a front cover of National Geographic once. I borrowed photography books from the local library to learn the craft. I am fascinated by beautiful landscapes. I do process my RAW files. I can call myself “award-winning photographer”. I don’t take it too seriously. I am happy when people like my photos. I do consider myself an artist. I am a photography instructor. I am a German citizen. I lived in Canada for years. I use Lightroom am Photoshop. I don’t add anything or remove anything from my photos. I re-create. I visualize.

Choosing the right size

Prints

The size shown on the product page always represents the longest edge of the image. The other side will be in relation to the longest side.

Example: 60cm (24") in standard 2:3 image format will have final dimensions of 60cm x 40cm (24x16"). A photo in size 90cm (36") in a standard 2:3 format will have final dimensions of 90x60cm (36x24"). As not all images are in standard format in order to best show the artists intention, there would be simply too many sizes to list. If you have questions about the final size of your image please feel free to contact me.

Premium Framing

The size with the mounting option Premium Framing always represents the print size and not the frame size! The frame will of course the larger than the image.

All frames have a width of about 3cm (1 1/4") and a depth of 2,6cm (1"). All frames come with gallery mounting system, so you can hang them directly on your wall.

The passepartout (or mat) is museum grade-quality and is 6cm wide on all sides of the images. The image itself has another 1,5cm border to show the fine detailed structure of the paper. All in all, you can add about 18cm (7") in width to the chosen image size.

Acrylic Face Mount

The chosen size of Acrylic Face Mount prints are exactly the same as the print sizes. Since Acrylic Face Mounts require a certain size to show, I only offer these types of mountings options starting at 75cm (30") on the longest edge. Acrylic Face Mounts represent my most popular products among customers.
