How do I photograph a house for a canvas print?

Cross the road and shoot straight on rather than from close up at an angle, which makes the building lean backwards. Morning or late-afternoon light is better than midday. For a wide frontage, use a panoramic canvas format so nothing gets cropped off the ends.

Can I add the address and the date they moved in?

Yes. The design tool takes custom text alongside the image, with a choice of fonts, sizes and colours. Address and completion date in small type along one edge is the usual treatment.

What size suits a house portrait?

60x40cm for a hallway or a living room, 40x30cm as a gift. Panoramic formats suit a wide frontage or a terrace. The full range runs up to 120x80cm.

What is the canvas made of?

285 g/m² canvas, 100% polyester with a matte coating, hand-stretched over a wooden frame in either 2cm or 4cm depth.

Will a phone photograph of a house be good enough?

Usually yes. Our internal minimum for canvas is 72 dpi at print size, which a modern phone clears up to around 80x60cm. Avoid digital zoom — walk further back instead, because zoom loses real detail.

Can I print a house that has since been sold?

Yes, and it is a common order. A canvas of a childhood home or a house someone has just left works from any photograph that exists, including a scanned print or a screenshot from a street-view service if you have the rights to use it.

How long does it take to arrive?

4 to 7 working days in total — 1 working day production plus 3 to 6 working days delivery.
