Metal photo prints of flowers and nature
Metal photo prints are created by transferring a photo onto a thin aluminum sheet. This innovative process uses heat and pressure to infuse dyes into a specially treated surface, producing a high-definition image with exceptional color vibrancy and detail. Unlike conventional photo prints, metal prints are highly durable, offering resistance to scratches, fading, and moisture. Their robust nature makes them suitable for both busy spaces and outdoor settings.
Metal photo prints are widely appreciated for their affordable high-definition quality. Unlike traditional photo prints, they offer a vivid, almost 3D effect. This makes them a fantastic choice for both home and office décor.
Photos on metal are just as easy to care for as any canvas or framed fine art photo print, but they offer greater durability. They’re perfect for bathrooms since they’re waterproof, and without the need for glazing, there’s no concern about moisture accumulating under glass or acrylic.
Although metal photo prints are tough, they should be kept out of direct sunlight. Prolonged exposure to strong UV rays can cause fading, though it will occur more slowly compared to regular photo paper.
How to hang a metal photo print?
All of my metal photo prints are designed to be easy to hang. They are lightweight, making installation quick and simple.
The metal prints I offer come with a hanging block. A “float mount” is a mounting method where a small bracket is attached to the back of the metal print, allowing it to hang slightly away from the wall. This creates a modern, frameless look with a small gap between the print and the wall, giving the illusion that the print is floating. It’s an elegant way to display your metal print without using a traditional frame.
Plus, all my metal photo prints are waterproof and can be wiped clean with a microfiber cloth and regular window cleaner, making them easy to care for and perfect for any space.

A historical note about metal photo prints
The earliest metal prints, known as criblé or dotted prints, were created in the latter half of the 15th century. These designs were formed by small dots punched into the metal and combined with short cuts. The print’s surface featured a dark background, with the whites representing the positive elements of the design. The small holes along the edges suggest that these plates were primarily made for decorative purposes and intended to be mounted rather than used as traditional printing plates.
