There can be a certain level of snobbery against the idea of printing a photo on canvas and yet the effect is simply startling. Sailors aboard ships would paint on canvas because it was an easily available surface on which to practice their skills. When the ships came into dock the canvas paintings would be sold. In time, canvas became the accepted surface for all artists regardless of the fact that some of the wealthy painters could afford to paint on parchment. Very quickly it became apparent that the texture of the canvas gave the picture, especially portraits, an added dimension that a smooth surface could never achieve.

These days it is possible to print on almost any surface and so you may ask the question: why do people enjoy looking at a photo on canvas? The simple answer is that the texture of the canvas gives portraits that have been taken with a digital camera the kind of effect that digital cameras fail to achieve when printed on paper.

Portraits shot with a camera that is loaded with 35mm film can convey a beauty that is not possible to repeat with digital photography but if the digital photos are transferred to canvas prints, then the effect is something else altogether.

Art is in the eye of the beholder

It is very easy to upload photos to a website such as Albelli and then to select the shape of the canvas to be used for printing. Once the canvas has been selected, within a matter of days, beautiful photos on canvas prints can be delivered to your door or as gifts to love-ones for very modest sums.
