Large Format Poster Art – all you should know
Frequently Asked Questions
Size
Why only one size?
All the ‘see through walls’ images are created in a 7:5 ratio, with the mindset of producing an interesting and diverse collection of photographs in stunning 700 x 500mm poster print format. Additionally, by restricting the proportions, production costs are significantly reduced compared to typical photographic print models, without compromising on quality or number of images as the collection grows.
Requiring only half a meter of wall space, these Potographic Art Posters will pack a powerful punch to any interior space too!
The Images
How unique are they?
It’s guaranteed that these images won’t be available anywhere else. They are credited to one photographer, and will not be licensed or reproduced by any other source.
Who’s the photographer?
Check out the about page for more information.
What’s with the three-word titles?
Inspired by science and the naming of plant sub-species, I’ve adopted a trinomial system that sometimes evokes a further feeling or meaning behind the images, or is simply pleasing in its abstract and absurd nature.
It’s not confirmed whether they may be a clue to the specific location they feature, or were photographed from! ; )
The Posters
How are the posters printed
Our posters are created using an electrophotographic imaging process. This sophisticated technique uses a liquid toner consisting of extremely fine pigments suspended in a liquid. This results in a sharp, well-defined image with a smooth, silky finish that beautifully captures the detail and vibrant colours of the original photograph.
Do the posters have a border, or come with mounts?
All the posters have a white border (as shown) included in the print, but this is not a card frame mount that you sometimes see with art prints.
The border width is slightly greater above and below the image than on the sides, as we prefer this style. It also looks better when held on magnetic poster hangers.
Bespoke mounts should be requested from your picture framer if that is your preference.
Alternatively, you can crop your poster to fit a smaller frame without borders.
How are the posters packaged
The posters are rolled* and boxed to help with shipping costs. For our free UK shipping, we choose to use double wall, triangular packing boxes with paper tape securing the ends for transport. This allows us to avoid using the typical single use plastic, or metal end caps, needed for traditional card tubes.
* Please note that rolled tubes will requires laying flat for 24 hours before hanging, to allow the fibres of the paper to relax and lose the majority of the paper curl caused by rolling.
Can you provide Picture Frames?
We don’t offer frames, but all the posters here fit a uniform-sized frame at 70cm x 50cm, which are available off the shelf in many high street shops.
At the time of writing, there are stylish budget options at Ikea, Dunelm, Hobbycraft and JYSK, with super clear plexiglass that is safe and lightweight.
Glass-fronted frames are available from Habitat and Argos, and I recommend supporting your local picture framer for a personalised option, including providing mounts if that’s your preference.
Poster hangers are a great option if you want to update your walls more often, but I’m a fan of being creative. Why not paste them up, peg them onto wires or use magnets? Have fun with them.

Can I have them shipped next day guaranteed?
We include a 2-3 day tracked postage service from Royal Mail in the costs of all posters within the UK. Due to the restricted resources of this small business, we can’t offer guaranteed next-day shipping at this time, I’m afraid.
