Also all images on this site are available as high quality Lambda prints.

Lambda is the name and common reference to the process, equipment and product resulting in the most visually spectacular images on the market today for high-impact print displays. Using continuous tone digital technology, Lambda prints are produced by transferring images directly from computer-generated digital files to reflective or backlit photographic materials without the need of a negative. Is is a photograph of the digital file. Within the equipment, three lasers-one each for red, green and blue-are merged into a single beam that simultaneously exposes the photographic material, producing the image in a single pass. The photo material is then processed in the same manner as traditional photography by developing the photographic material in a "wet" film processor. By using the lasers, the total image is crisp and precise edge to edge. All of this means that the quality of a Lambda print will be much better in terms of clarity, sharpness and in color saturation.
