8x10 Canvas Gallery Wrap of myself in the Negev

8"x10" Canvas Gallery Wrap of myself in the Negev

The good people over at www.zazagallery.com sent out a tweet calling for photo bloggers to review an 8”x10” Canvas Gallery Wrap of a personal work at no cost to the shooter.

After some inquisitive tweets to determine the “to good to be true” nature of this offer I eagerly accepted. I quickly worked up a portrait to send along. My tweets and emails were answered promptly. These guys are serious about communication (it’s a shame more companies are not). The ZaZagallery.com website contains information that anyone out for the first canvas order will find helpful. The site also boldly debunks the myths that keep professionals and hobbyists from getting their work immortalized on canvas.

I unpacked my Canvas Gallery Wrap from www.zazagallery.com today! (that’s it in the photo above) It’s impressive! Two things that jumped out at me were there sharpness and the brightness. Honestly, I did not know what to expect (this was my first experience with photos on canvas). As far as sharpness was concerned… let me tell you, the details are all there. The piece is, also, pleasantly brighter than I had expected. What I have found to be “normal” in paper printing scenarios (the image always prints darker than the file looks on the monitor) – simply wasn’t the case here. My thanks to ZaZagallery.com for a great promotional offer and a great product.
