Prices, Terms and Conditions
Dear Customer
Thank you for your interest in my photography. My photography can beautify your domestic, professional, hospitality or corporate environments. I look forward to providing you with a personal service and a fine art experience.
Purchases of my work are made directly from me. When ordering, make your selection by viewing the albums on this website (www.jahphoto.info ), or by scrolling through my comprehensive gallery on Instagram: (www.instagram.com/james.adriaan.photo/ ). Alternatively, I am happy to make recommendations to you, using email to communicate (see Contact page on this website).
If you would like recommendations, please specify which of these seven broad categories are of interest to you:
-
Landscapes and seascapes – these are my main speciality.
-
Landscapes with people – landscapes in which people engage with nature in some way.
-
Plants – trees, smaller plants, flowers.
-
Animals – mainly wild mammals and birds, but other creatures too, including domestic animals.
-
Semi-abstract and/or impressionistic – artistic photos that require a second look to work out the subject matter. Many involve water and reflections.
-
Quirky and/or kitsch – mainly commercial sculptures, often humorous or strange.
-
Historical buildings and ruins – self-explanatory.
When I know what you are interested in, I can send you thumbnail pictures to view and select from, or refer you to the appropriate album on this website.

Terms and conditions
-
When ordering, please specify:
-
which picture(s) you have selected (specify album and filename from my website, or date from Instagram)
-
what size(s) the print(s) should be (Note that low-resolution photos may not be available in the larger print sizes – I will advise you, as necessary.)
-
the type of paper (See descriptions of the papers below.)
-
whether you would like your prints delivered by courier, or whether you will collect them yourself (collection will save you at least R350 on an order), from Wetink, Greenlyn Village, Menlo Park, Pretoria (phone 012 346 2012; website: www.wetink.co.za).
-
Note that Wetink also provide a framing service.
-
-
Prices are according to standard print sizes (see below). Non-standard sizes can be specified, in which case the price will be set according to the next largest standard size.
-
Orders, with full details (see above) must be submitted to me by email at hare@worldonline.co.za. I respect the privacy of all personal information and will not share it with anyone.
-
I will email you a quotation on receipt of your order. You should accept the quotation in writing, by email.
-
A 10% discount will be applied for orders of three or more prints.
-
On receipt of your acceptance of the quotation, I will issue an invoice for the full amount. This invoice must be settled in full before I can place the order for printing.
-
Prints are dispatched within 5 working days of receipt of payment.
-
Original digital files are not included in a purchase. However, single-use licenses can be purchased from me.
-
All prints are produced in limited series of ten (10) and are delivered with numbered certificates of authenticity (at no additional cost).
-
I have a no-return, no-refund policy. Customers should remember that printed photos never look exactly the same as they appear on a computer monitor. The reason is that monitors produce radiant\glowing light whereas a print only reflects light. Your prints will look their best if well lit (but avoid direct sunlight because UV can cause fading). Also, colours may vary on individual computer monitors, therefore I am not responsible for the colour accuracy of prints and disclaim all liability in this regard.
-
In the unlikely event of faults in printing, or damages incurred during delivery, these must be referred to Wetink (who work to the highest standards – contact details above). Wetink do the printing and can arrange mounting and framing and a courier service. (Unmounted prints are delivered rolled up in a cardboard tube. Mounted or framed prints are delivered in protective wrapping.)
-
Prints are done on acid-free, archival quality papers. They should last well and give you many years of enjoyment. (See below for more details. Alternative papers can be requested, but are subject to availability.)
-
Prints will be supplied with a 20 mm blank border to facilitate framing.
-
Please note that I do not offer a framing service, but I do recommend Wetink (contact details above) should you wish to get your prints framed. They offer a comprehensive framing service. Please get quotations for framing directly from Wetink.

Notes on papers and mounts
-
All four papers are acid-free and of archival quality, with the Hahnemühle paper being the highest quality.
-
“gsm”stands for “grammes per square metre” and indicates the weight, density and thickness of the paper.
-
Of the three matte papers, the Felix Schoeller is the smoothest and the Hahnemühle the most textured.
-
High gloss papers are not recommended because they show dust and fingerprints badly, scratch easily, and are excessively reflective for this type of artwork. (Additional information on papers is available on the web.)
-
Printing on canvas is particularly suitable if you wish to mount or frame without using glass.
-
High gloss papers are not recommended because they show dust and fingerprints badly, scratch easily, and are excessively reflective for this type of artwork.
