Here at www.TrophyShotPrints.com we're going to be """kicking things up a notch""" for our hunters

Recently, it was mentioned to me that I should let our AR Forum members here know that we just don't offer only technical-aspect based digital-enhancements of your TrophyShot Print Showpieces...

But we also create CUSTOM DISPLAY SHOWPIECES with a more ARTISTIC APPROACH too...if desired

Below are just two examples that show what can be done.....but the possibilities are endless...it all depends on what you want or just leave it to me

First trophy shot is a picture of AR member "Hunteratheart"/Steve and his Tuskless Cow... We decided on doing a 11x17 Metal Print of his Cape Buff from the same safari but because of a few issues with the quality of his image file he wanted to see what I could do with the Cape Buff first..."IF" the print didn't come out clear...then, he was going to use this Tuskless Cow photo as a back-up in order to have a custom enhanced quality Metal Print to display.

I mentioned to him first off... that BOTH would print AWESOME....and that I saw GREAT POTENTIAL for this Tuskless Cow too...and I offered to show him my work from a creative and artistic approach which I truly enjoy and most passionate about!!!

He didn't seem too interested however ...and I could tell he was quite apprehensive...knowing full well he needed to see if the Cape Buff print would be of great quality as I assured him...I don't blame him

Out of the blue...while he's waiting for his Cape Buff Metal Print to arrive... I received an email from Steve asking...Hey, Roland, what did you actually have in mind for that Tuskless?

I told him to give me a day and I would send it over

And I did...

He sent an email right-off-the-bat...ORDER ME ANOTHER METAL PRINT...I LOVE IT!!!

I said but you didn't even receive the BUFF print yet it should be arriving today or tomorrow sometime!!!

Nope, I'll order it sight unseen...I like it very much!!!

That's basically how it all went down...

And his Cape Buff print did arrive later that evening and he was genuinely impressed with the quality of my work and print!!!

Well, I then ordered this Tuskless print and lo' and behold when he received it a week later...we had TROUBLE

The print arrived however there was a very small dent the size of a pencil point SMACK dab in the center of the image AND there were a few very light/soft scuff marks as well in the same region... and mind you this is a HIGH-GLOSS METAL PRINT...believe me if there's a flaw in the metal it'll show ...

Upon receiving this email...I responded and ASSURED him all would be well because I'm going to SEE TO IT!!!

I made a call first thing in the morning and I had a print out the next day with NO hassle!!!

Today he's ecstatic and is very impressed with our service, work, and quality prints....just another AR Forum member who is PROUD to display our showpieces

We're doing them one customer at a time and we enjoy serving you all...

He'll be chiming in shortly I'm sure

He's just a pleasure to work with through this entire project...Right-on Steve and thank you for believing in us and our professionalism and products

Without further adieu...
Steve's BEFORE/AFTER of his TUSKLESS


BEFORE


to this beautiful 10x20 Metal Print Showpiece Display...

AFTER


Our next trophy shot is from AR Forum member "FishN4Eyes"...Chris and his dad hunted with Thierry several weeks ago and had a blast! We'll be doing a couple showpieces for Chris from that safari...and here's one that I really loved and wanted to share here....just because it shows an ARTISTIC APPROACH and another angle...showing the potential in what I see when I look at your photos.....hehehe...sorry, it's a PASSION
Nah, I lied...my dear wife says it's an OBSESSION

PH's like Thierry work really hard to set-up trophy shots for their clients...and knowing Thierry he's resolute and intensely focused to see it get done right...just ask all his hunters

Without further adieu...one of Chris' Cape Buffs of the three he and his dad took with Thierry...Monsters at that...and I'll be updating Thierry's page tomorrow and the next with pics from his last three AWESOME back-to-back safaris!

Be sure to check it out!

BEFORE


And here it is with a heavier type of creative approach...an image like this displayed on our Metal Print or Metallic Photo Paper Print would be STRIKING to say the least displayed anywhere...The foundation for this piece and it's concept came to me....to create a piece that would STOP folks in their tracks and cause the viewer to WANT to check it out no matter how far they were away from it in the room!

Displayed it will capture any viewer's attention no matter how many mounts... shoulder or full mounts in your room!

It'll make a BIG IMPACT for certain! This printed on our Metal Print or Metallic Photo Paper Print...that BIG BOSS will come right through clearly and smack anyone in the nose ...so much depth in this photo I love it!!!


AFTER


Thanks everyone for letting me enjoy my passion and serving you!

And let's SEE if I can ENVISION an ARTISTIC TROPHYSHOT SHOWPIECE especially for you

Aloha!

Roland

Thanks Cecil!

We just want to be able to offer alternatives to our hunters.

In past times...it was so difficult to get professional quality prints if you weren't a PRO PHOTOG....even if you were it consisted of going back and forth...read as printing many prints til the printers envisioned what you saw and got it finally right....it was just part of the process that's all to get a fine print!

Today....we do it all for you with our service...we enhance your prints according to our style and high standards and create artistic pieces and we have built strong partnerships with our printers who do the best!

Our customers can expect the best from us....Prints that ooze CLASS and ELEGANCE!!!

These are no ordinary prints!!!
One has to see it to believe it!!!

We have had nothing less than impressed customers with every single order

I wish I was on Kaua'i to see you my friend...have a wonderful time on a very beautiful island!

Aloha!

Roland

Roland nailed it!
Yes, times were tough. I spent probably 15 tries between several systems trying to get pics uploaded. Turned out that Chrome was the key - several versions of IE just didn't want to work. Although I sent Roland 2 pics, it was the buff i was most interested in. He did some technical work which brought me in focus as well as the buff. I was more than happy with that and had no intent of ordering another. That was until he sent me my tuskless pic with the artistic workover. I ordered it immediately despite not having even seen the finished product of my buff. The original photo was 'washed' out and dull. His work brought it to life and I just couldn't resist.
When the final product arrived, I told Roland I was not happy with it as there was a small dent and scuffs. He immediately informed me he would take care of it and he did. The next day he called the company and they reprinted and sent it out RUSH.
He stands behind his products 110% and proved it beyond doubt. It's been a pleasure working with him and and I'm glad he's so fanatical\passoniate about his work.
I highly recommend him and hope he has visions of what your photos can be...the artistic touch over a straight technical makeover is truly awesome!

That tuskless elephant before and after is amazing. Truly outstanding Roland!

I have to give a shout out to Roland and the work he does. I have zero artistic talent but love quality photos.

I sent Roland a half dozen pictures that were good but not great pics. He hit the nail square on the head and they are great now and truly a great representative of what the species should look like.

Roland, thank you. They will be hanging in my office for all to see.

Please keep doing what you are doing as there will be more of my work headed your way.

You have a gift; please continue to develop it so people like me, Hunteratheart and FishN4Eyes can have someone to make our pictures magical.

Justin

Those are Beautiful Roland!

Safe hunting!

Roland

I want to come here and personally give Roland a HUGE thank you!
His work is off the charts as is his personal attention to each one of his customers. I know he will be doing great things with his new venture.
I commissioned him to work on 2 diff pics for the 11X14 metallic sheet prints. One is of a prior African trophy of mine that the trophy pics came out mediore, at best.. The other was a great photo of a trophy I took in BC Canada.I wanted to see how well he could "enhance" this pic and turn it into a truly special photo. He was able to do that IN SPADES.
I don't know how he does it, but he has a truly special talent and I am greatful he has come here to AR and offered it to all of us.

Thank you, "Hoaloha", and MAHALO!


BEFORE pic without any editing:


And after Roland finished with it:


I am looking forward to seeing the finished product of this one on the wall soon and am really looking forwad to seeing what he's doing with the African trophy pic!

Awesome goat, awesome pic. Even better now. Well done!!!!

I have had the privilege of working with Roland and wanted to share my experience. Those of you who are looking for a professional to assist with your digital images will find Roland to be knowledgeable and helpful.

I greatly enjoyed the friendly customer service I received while working with Roland on my project. Roland provided expert consultation and professional advice after review of the image and project parameters. The project required conversion of CMYK files to RGB, canvas extensions to accommodate an 11x14 print aspect ratio, cloning the picture area to match the canvas extensions, and finally contrast and saturation adjustments for the medium selected. All of this technical work resulted in a Metal Print image that looks fabulous!

Roland has and will continue to do repeat work for me. Give him a shout if you have a project that could use professional results.

Best always,
Shawn

Shawn,

Your comments are appreciated very much! It's been a pleasure working with you too brother

I just sent you an email regarding the new project you sent...all three images look super...
I'll be able to do a lot with them

Roland

Nice work. That goat photo is super. Roland it has been great watching your business develop from your passion. I know what the experiences you have had in Africa have done to you and it shows in your work. I get satisfaction from working with beautiful animals and somehow being involved with all the experiences folks have on their safaris, and I know you are the same way. Glad you have been able to make something you love into a business. So when are you going back? Would qualify as research and development business trip now, right?...

GREAT Roland! Scotty that's a great pic and scenery. Only one thing, straighten the horizon and it will be one of the best trophy photos I've seen ever jmo of course

That's the first thing I wanted to address...
However, in order to keep a few elements both in and out the frame it was the best crop.

The original file is not the one Scotty put up...that was his crop...Mine is actually made
from the ORIGINAL...it just didn't look right even with the slightest tilt...so canned it and went with this

You can see how their high above the clouds and the clouds BOWL in that area...sort of a cool thing I thought

If you remove Scotty from the image then you will have quite a nice picture.
