If you are looking for black and white canvas prints for your walls then take a look at Fotoviva Art Prints. We have a large range of photographic images for sale and a black and white canvas prints collection. This section offers stunning photographic images from our team of professional photographers who bring you artistic imagery with a black and white touch.

Black and white images have a timeless appeal which can suit interior designs with strong colour themes. The simplicity of the black and white can enhance the features of the image, drawing the eye to see more details than if it was a colour print. Black & White Photography has its own place in the world of art and many of the greatest photographers specialise in this field. It does more to evoke an emotion and freeze a moment in time than any other medium and has helped elevate it to a fine-art form.

Once you remove the colour from a photograph it’s like stripping a scene down to the bare bones, removing the layers and leaving the perfect form. They work perfectly as large canvas prints.

Black and white canvas prints come in all shapes and sizes to suit your wall space. We can even print the canvases at other sizes to ensure you or your client receives their print in the perfect size. Canvas prints take around 7 working days to arrive but if you need a canvas printing quicker just contact us and we’ll see what we can do to help. And if you are a photographer and have your own image you would like printed as a black and white canvas then we can do this too.

Wunderbars’ constant tension stretcher bars are even easier to construct than normal stretched canvas prints. Wunderbars are precision machined so there is no need to measure the frame to get it square or  hit the frame with a mallet to keep it square during stretching, it will always remain square.

The Wunderbars system is touted as a natural progression from traditional stretcher bars and has been developed for photographers and framers from the hobbyist right up to the production canvas framer.

The wood used for Wunderbars is Tulip wood which, unlike pine, is a hard wood with a top quality look and feel. It’s a heavyweight timber with very little knotting. It helps give the completed frame a top quality professional feel. Wunderbars ticks all the environmental boxes too – the wood comes from sustainable sources and it is possible to reset and reuse a frame. FSC wood does cost a little bit more but not so much as to affect a purchasing decision. FSC wood comes from sustainable forests which help protect wildlife and the environment.

Wunderbars canvas frames come in packs of four in a range of sizes from 8inch to 48inch which will limit the canvas print sizes you can offer, but for most people this will be a good starter. It will be interesting to see if photographers try this system or continue to use established canvas printers such as ourselves. Obviously you still need a large canvas printer in the first place to print onto the canvas material. You then have the packaging costs to factor in, not to mention your time taken creating the canvas.

Full marks to Fujifilm though for trying something new. What do you think about the Wunderbars? Will you use them yourself or would you rather not get involved in the canvas printing side of things?

Whether you are a professional photographer who wants to offer your clients a new print solution or you just have some great photos that you want to hang on your walls, our new Photos on Canvas service is going to be very handy indeed.

This new feature to the Fotoviva Art Prints site is so simple – just a few clicks is all it takes to have your own image printed onto canvas. You can upload the digital file, choose your preferred size, finish and details, then we will do the rest.

Everyone has holiday snaps, lovable pet photos or family pictures – so why not show them off in style by letting us print your photos to canvas so you can hang them on your walls in all their glory! And with Christmas coming up they make unique presents for friends and family.

Yes you can save a few pounds getting them printed onto canvas elsewhere, but why risk having sub-standard frames and print quality? We use professional materials, our wooden frames are from sustainable forests, all our canvases are made in the UK and they are still great value for money.

As with the main art collection, we can also print your digital photos on non-standard sizes or as triptych canvases so if you would prefer this please contact us and we will provide you with our best quote.

Andrew Gibson, one of the Fotoviva Team who specialises in travel photography, has posted on his photo blog about some inspiring photojournalists who each have a collection of photographs from South America that will amaze you with their thought-provoking style.Take a look at their images which certainly are not the usual photographic work you would find on the internet, more like works of art from days gone by. While you’re there you can find more interesting posts from Andrew about travel photographers and general photography tips and tricks to help improve your own skills.

At the Fotoviva Art Prints online store we now have a special page which shows all the latest uploaded photographic prints which are available to buy as poster art, acrylic or canvas prints. This is a flash-based gallery which we think is rather funky with its animated resizing and ease of use. If you want to keep up to date with all the latest images to our art store this is the page to visit if you’re in a hurry!

And if you are thinking about buying a picture for Christmas we will need your order by the 14th December to ensure it reaches you in time. Gift Vouchers are also now available if you are looking for gift ideas.

Our Photo of the Month is a new feature where we aim to showcase photographs of outstanding quality and beauty. For October we are presenting an incredible image by Tim Wallace called ‘Northern Tide‘. This is such a dramatic photograph with wonderfully vivid colours. Tim says “Northern Tide is part of a set of images that I’m working on to produce contemporary photography using an old weathered chair, basically in places that you would not expect to find a chair.”

“This shot was taken just next to the pier at Saltburn on the North East coast at the very early hours of 4:50am as the sun was rising. The chair was placed in approx 3 inches of water as the tide started to wash in as I wanted a soft flow of water coming through the chair towards the viewer. It’s one of my favourite shots in the series and I think its quite peaceful overall with a gentle feeling of space.”

You can purchase this photographic art piece on canvas, acrylic or as a poster from the Fotoviva Art Prints online store at www.fotoviva.co.uk. We also have more of Tim’s contemporary, automotive and landscape prints available and you can check out his new photoblog here.
