SFX – Photography with an artistic flare!

Some would call this “Hybrid” photography because it is of the blending of photography and art. We call it SFX. Using a select photograph we apply various unique special effects to it. We can also collage a number of these images into a distinctive large wall print. These can then be printed on canvas, metal or high quality photographic paper and hung on the wall and enjoyed for years to come. For a quick overview (just over a minute) please watch the video below.
