We have just opened a new section devoted to panoramic art prints on the main Fotoviva store. The collection of images will expand over the coming weeks and feature wide-angle landscape and fine-art views from around the world which can be purchased in a range of sizes as either poster or canvas art for your wall space.

Over at Digital ProTalk David Ziser posted a very complimentary article about our Art Prints on his highly respected photo blog. The title of the article reads: "Please place one hand, palm up, under jaw before viewing" David shows a picture of Graham Cormie's 'Hopeman Dawn' photograph and says he particularly likes the Seascape Art Collection. "It showcases some outstanding images and is worth the visit just for the viewing of so many inspiring images...tons of inspiration available." Thanks to David for rating our collection so highly. His blog is well worth a daily read. David Zis

 Tim Wallace has been busy adding new Automotive Art Prints to the Fotoviva Collection with some stunning Aston Martin and Mini Cooper S photographs.

We are pleased to announce the newest member of the Fotoviva Team, Howard Goff. With a collection of stunning seascape images Howard is a great addition to the contributors and a thoroughly nice guy! Howard told us "I am delighted to be joining the Fotoviva contributor team. As a long time admirer of the photography of Jacky Parker, Don Tiffney and Tim Wallace, I am immensely pleased my images will now be complimenting their fine work on the Fotoviva website. I have always viewed Fotoviva as a reliable, trustworthy and ethical company with high levels of customer satisfaction. Their curren

Today marks EarthShots.org's 500th photo of the day! To celebrate they have created a special page with all 500 photos displayed as a mosaic... it is an impressive exhibition of photographic prowess. View 500 days of Earth Shots here: *EDIT: New Earthshots website has not retained the old page :( Looking back through Earth Shots' first 500 photos, you can't fail but be amazed by the sheer variety and quality of images that have featured. Earth Shots has transformed from a plain website into a thriving community of photographers who like to share their work with the world. If you w

A bit late for this but I have only just got some file copies from those nice people at Nikon. My 'Rising Swan' photograph was entered into a Nikon competition last year and although it didn't win, they have featured it on the February month of the official Nikon Calendar for 2008 :-) Must admit I'm quite gobsmacked by this but very happy, and to make it even sweeter they paid me to feature it! The print is proving very popular on the Fotoviva Art Prints online gallery and has had some great reviews by fellow photographers. You can find it in the Wildlife Art Prints section where it can be bo

A Francis Bacon triptych painting has sold for more than £26m, just £160,000 short of breaking the artist's auction record. Entitled 'Triptych 1974-77' and painted in response to the suicide of Bacon's lover George Dyer, it made a whopping £26,340,500 at Christie's Auction House in London. It set a European record for a post-war British or Irish artist, but failed to beat the £26.4m paid for Bacon's Study from Innocent X in New York last year. Francis was a Dublin-born figurative painter who died in 1992. Triptych 1974-77 was the last of Bacon's paintings created in response to h

This month we are showcasing a wonderful black and white photograph by Andrew Gibson entitled 'La Recoleta Angel'. It was taken in the Cementerio de Recoleta (Recoleta Cemetery in English) in Buenos Aires. It's one of the cities main attractions and the cemetery is special because only the richest and most famous Argentines are buried there. It's very expensive and they say it's cheaper to live the high life in Buenos Aires than to be buried in Recoleta. One of its most famous inhabitants is Evita, otherwise known as Eva Perón, second wife to the Argentine President Juan Perón. Andrew's mon

Here at Fotoviva we are keen to help save the environment as much as we can. We are consuming the Earth's resources 20% faster than they can be sustained, so we all have to do what we can - and as soon as we can. We now have our canvases made from wood which comes from sustainable forests, which means the trees are replaced by new ones and the forests, and their wildlife, are preserved as much as possible. We also use low vapour emitting sealant for the canvases which is better for the environment and your health. This sealant is used to protect the canvas surface and enhance the colour f
