These products can be created and customised to meet a general or specific market. The focus could be directed towards local or national tourism (buildings, landscapes, animal photos), motorsport and vehicular interest groups (race cars, aircraft, private group photos), and for the promotion of any particular business or organisation. They make great corporate gifts to supporters and sponsors, and for general self-promotion.
The supply prices of these items are negotiated according to the target market and quantity required. Bulk orders of 20 or more will not be charged for lengthy computer design time. They can be individualised with a copyrighted 3D photograph, unique labelling, matboard features, and possible changes to the standard frame system. The detail quality is consistent and combines well with their hand-created touch. The finished items will not be sold elsewhere, but I can advertise and direct sales to your business if required.
They also attract much higher personal attention and curiosity than conventional framed prints. They will remain an object of interest longer, similar qualities to that of an intricate scale model. Other photo wares may stand out by using different techniques, but much has already been seen and done.
Note: The product pictured below was produced as a sample on behalf of the manufacturer.
These works would be suitable for:
# Recognisable buildings and icons,
# Attractive landscapes and natural features,
# Specific fauna (portrait shots air land & sea animals),
# Vehicles including motorcars, large transport, aircraft & ships, and
# Group shots of private or club-based collections.
The Canberra region product range is aimed at the tourist market. While satisfactory arrangements have not yet been made to place the collection in a tourist-focused outlet, it is my belief that they could benefit tourism especially when sold to interstate and overseas visitors. Such a product by its 3D nature alone should give others a better perspective (literally and figuratively) regarding any particular attraction. This may develop into a stronger urge to see such an attraction (such initiatives would rely on effective product placement or word of mouth).
A specific vendor (a tourist attraction, participating business or another organisation) may achieve sales of 3D photo merchandise that are more valued and more permanent than low cost souvenirs. Word of mouth linked with such an item would be more effective than other products. Please feel free to contact me with any further thoughts or ideas.
Larger establishments, government organisations and individuals may desire a single, once-off product to suit any purpose. Arrangements for such a unique item would be similar to any commissioned artist, where the price will need to account for setup time. This includes design, travel, the possible extra cost of a single frame and other features that are not included in the stock price.
If a subject is suitable for addition to my range and is not required to be a one-off, I may negotiate a lower price that could be my standard stock price. Please see the page on providing photographs to allow your image to be added to my range. This page also has information on custom vehicle products.
The following (clickable) images show a Virgin Atlantic Boeing 747 airliner, produced as another example of the type of product that can be catered for a particular market or business. The first photo is the framed product, the second is the completed aircraft on a blank background, to help show the fine cutting detail and individual layers.
