PUrchasing Fine ARt Photography from HOwie Garber

Every piece of art ordered from Howie will have his signature and he will ensure strict quality control for packaging and shipping.

You can purchase fine art photography, ready to ship, here. It will be personally signed.

From his photo archive of tens of thousands of images created since 1990, Howie has carefully selected about 60 images that are worthy of limited-edition status. These images capture a moment of rare and fleeting beauty. Each Limited-Edition Photograph is printed on archival paper.  The rich colors in your photograph will show no signs of color shift or fading for at least 60 years under normal lighting conditions. 

The photograph is then signed and issued a Limited-Edition number and Letter of Authenticity by Howie.  Only 50 signed & numbered prints, and 5 Artist Proof prints will be made of a Limited-Edition image.  These Limited Editions may be mounted with acrylic or on a metal surface or conventionally framed using the highest quality low-reflective glass and archival matting materials.

As images sell, and the number of photographs available in the edition is fewer and fewer, the price may increase. These photographs achieve the highest quality by test printing to ensure optimal color management and sharpness. These images have been printed from digital files under Howie’s supervision. 

Why Open Edition?

Most of my images are available as OPEN EDITION. These prints are not numbered, but they are signed by Howie.

Howie does open editions prints, rather than limited editions for several reasons. He wants his fine art photography to be more affordable. This has been a difficult philosophical decision. Some of the great pioneers of photography, Edward Weston, Ansel Adams, Alfred Steiglitz, and Henri Cartier Bresson did not limit their editions. Howie’s abilities and interpretation of the creative process are not set in stone. “My art is a fluid and changing process, and I enjoy exploration of new methods. Film has a limited ability to handle dynamic range (contrast between dark and light) I have scanned many images originally shot on film and developed them using Adobe software. This has allowed me the ability to more accurately convey what I saw in terms of detail in shadow and highlight areas.” Most of Howie’s Fine Art photographs will never be changed. However, he reserves the right to make improvements to images if possible. This is particularly important in the age of digital as printing methods, software, and materials are constantly changing.

We have recently started printing Open and Limited edition images on chromalux aluminum. This is a stunning product that stands off the wall. It is scratch resistant and has incredible visual depth and luminosity. The aluminum mount is ready to hang and the print floats one half or one inch off the wall.

Howie will honor special requests to have any image from my archive printed as fine art.

Some richly textured photographs lend themselves to the archival Canvas Photo-Giclée process with a gallery wrap. The canvas photograph is stretched over a hidden wooden frame and projects one and half inches off the wall. The photo is visible from every side without glare or reflection and has a 3-D look.  Canvas prints have a protective coating and they don’t require glass or a frame. This simplifies the lighting challenges that can be troublesome with glass.

Retail Prices for Standard sizes below apply only to archive paper, archival acid free mattes ,  traditional wood frames and low reflection glass. There are at least two different sizes for all fine art.
