Canvas Press Photo Contest - Flowers
by Cody Johnson | Apr 13, 2016 | News
This is April after all. The month we typically see Spring allowing these beautiful blooms to happen. I absolutely love taking photos of flowers. It is kind of tough for me not to enter this contest. I can't (that would be a conflict of interest), but you definitely can. In the photography world, flowers might not seem that exciting a subject. I would disagree. I think that sometimes the simple, most popular and most photographed subjects (ie flowers) are often the types of subjects needed to...
One Woman's Story: Julia Margaret Cameron's Work
by Cody Johnson | Apr 4, 2016 | News
In 1864 photography was still in its infancy and Julia Margaret Cameron was 48 years old. She had spent most of her life in India, but had now come to retire with her husband at their newly purchased estate on the Isle of Wight, near the home of Alfred Lord Tennyson. (For those who can’t recall their English Lit course, Lord Tennyson was the Poet Laureate of both Great Britain and Ireland). That year, she received a camera as a gift from her daughter--much like how today’s children try to...
Announcing our Wildlife Photo Contest
by Cody Johnson | Mar 4, 2016 | News
Our photo contest for the month of March is all about Wildlife. Up for grabs is some serious Canvas Press cash that 3 winners will take home and can use on any product they would like. So what do we consider "wildlife"? Animals found in nature. That does not count your pets, cows, horses, or anything fenced in. What does count? Birds, deer, hippos, anteaters, snow leopards (good luck with that one), owls, squirrels...you get the idea. If you have a great photo of wildlife (whether it is in yo...

Yes! We Can Do That - Things You Didn't Know We Can Do
by Cody Johnson | Oct 22, 2015 | News
Split a photo into several different photos. We can create a wall collage from one single photo. We do that by splitting it up into a variety of different ways. If you have something in mind then just let us know and we can do it for you. Whether we splitting the photo in half, thirds or in unequal parts it isn’t a problem. Don’t worry about messing around trying to crop them yourself. We can send you a proof of the project before we print it so you can make sure it looks exactly how you w...

Prices on Our Canvas Prints...Cut
by Cody Johnson | Aug 11, 2015 | News
We’ve gone and done it. The prices on our canvas prints have been cut. I heard that gasp. We know we have never been the cheap option for printing your photos on canvas. We have competitors out there who steadily sell discounted canvas prints. Some of them seem to have a Groupon…every…single…week. And we aren’t going to lie. It can be hard to compete with that steady barrage of discount after discount. Especially when we know how much it actually takes to deliver something that is handcrafted...
