FAQ

The images listed on the website can be used in a variety of cases. You might be a divecenter looking for some underwater images to put up on your website. You might be a magazine/newspaper looking for wreck/cave/marine life photos to include in your article about diving in Malta. Or you might just want to buy a photo to hang on your wall or frame and put on your desk. All of these are valid scenarios and you are more than welcome to browse my collection and grab one or two underwater photos.

Royalty free (RF) licence that covers all the photography on the website means that you are free to use the images just as you wish to. Putting them on your website for private or commercial use?

That depends on what you bought!

If you ordered a canvas print – you will get a canvas print, if you ordered a t-shirt – you’ll get a t-shirt, easy as that 🙂

if your order was for a Digital download, then after making a purchase and completing the payment, you will receive a .zip (archive) file with an image that you purchased. You will need to extract the image file from the archive. All modern operating systems have the built in functionality to do this fully or semi automatic. Just double click on the .zip (archive) file.

In order to save web traffic and to optimise website loading speed and performance, I use commonly adopted techniques to reduce the image sizes.

I apply some optimisations to serve you closest size of the image based on your device. This can result in you seeing some of the images blurry at some point. However, most of the visitors would not notice any difference but would only enjoy the accelerated website loading speed.

Absolutely NOT. The above mentioned techniques only apply on the images you see on the website. The photos or canvas prints that you purchase are original, full size photos without any compression or quality loss.

In case of a digital download this is another reason why all the photos you buy on the website would come packed in the .zip file. This way we can guarantee that you get exactly the same underwater photo as we would like you to have. Byte to byte 🙂

I am planning to implement a photo printing solution. I am currently exploring different options in order to make sure that only the top quality underwater prints will end up at my customers hands.
