Marigold Dreams - Fine Art Print

This photo depicts a sleeping bee inside a Yellow Aztec Marigold (Tagetes erecta). During one of my evening walks around our farm, I noticed this bee peacefully sleeping right at the heart of a marigold flower. On the spot, I knew I had a special photo in front of my eyes. I ran to pick up my camera and tripod, unfortunately forgetting the lighting equipment in the rush. This photo is made of a stack of 124 macro images, a greatly challenging accomplishment as these photos were taken straight in the field (not a studio) during sunset with no auxiliary lights.
The image is titled “Marigold Dreams”, in an attempt to evoke what it must feel like to sleep inside a marigold flower. Wouldn’t it be nice?
Print Details
- Sizes: Each print is available in eight sizes: four in inches (imperial) and four in centimetres (metric). Choose the format that fits your space best, wherever you are in the world.
- Botanical Borders: Each print is offered in two versions: Full image, where the photograph extends edge-to-edge, and Onyx Black Borders, featuring the print's title and the plant’s botanical name. Triptychs always have borders. Please note that the borders slightly reduce the size of the image itself.
- Paper: Printed on fine art smooth, matte paper with a soft, glare-free finish. Acid-free and archival for long-term preservation.
- Printing Process: Produced using Giclée printing with 1200+ dpi resolution and premium pigment-based inks. This ensures a wide colour gamut, rich tonal depth, and exceptional detail - preserving both vivid colours and subtle gradients with museum-grade longevity.
- Framing: Framing is not yet offered, as I am currently evaluating partners that meet my quality standards. I recommend working with a trusted local framer for the best results. If you prefer prints with white borders to simplify framing, please see the “Custom Prints” section below. Also, when envisioning your desired framing, take into account whether you got a print with Botanical Borders or not.
- Sustainability: Printed on FSC-certified paper.
Packaging & Shipping
Your print will be produced and shipped directly by a regional professional photo lab. In most cases, this means your order will be printed and dispatched within your region, reducing shipping times and avoiding additional customs fees. In rare cases, customs charges may apply depending on the origin and destination.
Most prints ship within 2 to 5 days.
Every order is carefully packaged to ensure your print arrives in perfect condition.
Handling Your Print
Depending on the size, your print will most likely arrive rolled in a sturdy shipping tube. From the very first moment, please treat it as what it is: a fine art print. Handle it gently, and avoid touching the surface with your bare hands. Latex or cotton gloves are recommended.
Carefully remove the print from the tube and place it on a clean, flat surface, allowing it to relax and flatten naturally. For best results, wait to unroll your print until your framing materials are ready, either at home or with a professional framer.
Returns & Damage Policy
Although each print is securely packaged, transit mishandling can occasionally occur. If your print arrives damaged or does not meet your quality expectations, please contact me right away. I will gladly arrange a replacement at no additional cost to you.
Custom Prints
If you have a specific wish, such as a different paper type or brand, a particular printing process, a custom size, or framing options not listed here, please feel free to reach out. I will be happy to collaborate with you and trusted professional photo labs to create the result you’re looking for.
Please note that custom orders may incur additional costs.
