Why is Online Photo Printing Growing More Popular?

As of 2022, the online photo printing industry reported revenue of $3.4 billion, according to IBISWorld. Photographers and artists have increasingly turned to online photo printing services in recent years. Online photo printing is more convenient than traditional methods, offers a range of options, and is often more affordable. Here are some of the reasons why online photo printing has become so popular.

Convenience

It's now possible to order prints from the comfort of your own home and have them delivered directly to your door. It's a huge time-saver, especially for busy professionals who don't have the time to visit a photo printing lab in person. You can also get a wider range of delivery options, so you can have your prints delivered to a friend or family member if you're not going to be home when they arrive.

More Size Options

Another advantage of online photo printing is that you have more options when it comes to size, compared to traditional methods. Choose the perfect size for your needs. You're not limited to standard print sizes, so you can get exactly what you want.

Affordability

In many cases, online photo printing is more affordable than traditional methods. You can find deals and discounts on unique and specialty prints. There is the option to print in bulk, which can save you even more money. This is especially ideal for professional photographers who need to print large quantities of photos.

Physical Proof of Your Work

When you have your photos printed, you have physical proof of your work that you can hold in your hand and display. It's a great way to show off your work to potential clients, or just to have a visual reminder of your accomplishments. While it's standard to post photos online, there's something special about being able to hold a physical print in your hand.

The Ability to Easily Sell Copies

Many photographers and artists use online photo printing services to sell copies of their original artworks. This is a great way to make some extra money and display work in shows.

These are just a few reasons why online photo printing is growing more popular. The convenience, size options, affordability, and physical proof of work are all appealing factors for photographers and artists. With online photo printing, you can have your prints delivered right to your door anytime. Reach out to Fine Line Supply Co. to get started with our quality photo printing today!

It's Just a Shadow You're Seeing That He's Chasing - Art Opening

,

We are excited to host Dr. Markus Wobisch and his fantastic black and white photography on September 22 from 6-8pm. The exhibition, “It’s just a shadow you’re seeing that he’s chasing,” takes its name from a line in Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man” and features black and white photos that Wobisch created from shapes found in Louisiana Tech’s Integrated Engineering and Science Building.

Wobisch says his photography is very much connected to his work as a particle physicist, as his goal in both fields is to pare down what he sees into basic elements that may not be obvious to casual observers.

“Getting to the core of things – that’s what I do as a particle physicist and as a photographer. Making sense of a whole through its constituents. Stripping off non-essential pieces to reveal the fundamental building blocks underneath. In particle physics, it means understanding macroscopic matter through interactions of elementary particles. In my photography, I strive to comprehend my environment by deconvoluting its structures into basic geometric shapes and their shadows and reflections.”

His choice to focus much of his work on the Integrated Engineering and Science Building stems from the excitement he felt when he moved his office into the building.

“The new building’s beautiful architecture with its wide-open spaces had an immediate positive impact on my interactions with students simply because it encourages social exchange. We are closer together now – literally and figuratively. And because of that, the quality of my life as a physics teacher has changed in a wonderful way.

“This experience has inspired me to capture the spirit of the Integrated Engineering and Science Building by spotting its not-so-obvious details from unusual, yet telling points of view. My medium of choice is black and white photography which allows me to focus on basic shapes, their shadows, and reflections, without the distraction of color.”

The exhibition will run from September 22 through October 22.
