Turn Your Photos Into Metal Moments
Your favorite photographs can become vibrant, permanent artwork on aluminum.
Send me your photo and I’ll professionally prepare it for sublimation onto a glossy metal panel. Family photos, pets, vacations, old photographs, memorial pieces, gifts—and even completely new scenes created from your photos.
The Basics
8×12 Metal Moment — $20
Additional copy of the same finished image: $10
12×18 Metal Moment — $35
Additional copy of the same finished image: $15
Standard photo preparation is included: sizing, cropping, orientation, basic brightness and color correction, and preparation for sublimation.
If your photo is already in good condition, that may be all you need.
Ordering Several Different Photos?
The more different photographs you order at the same time, the lower the price per panel.
Different Photos
8×12 each 12×18 each
2–3 $19 $33
4–5 $18 $31
6–9 $17 $29
10+ $15 $25
These prices apply when each panel uses a different photograph. If you want several copies of the same finished image, use the lower duplicate-copy pricing above.
Have an Old or Damaged Photograph?
I can often improve photographs before putting them on metal.
Basic cleanup starts at $5 per image. Black-and-white colorization, faded-photo restoration, scratch and damage repair, background replacement, unwanted-object removal and other restoration services are available depending on what the photograph needs.
Most enhancement work falls in the $5–$15 range per image. More complicated restoration can be discussed before any work begins.
Want Something Completely Different?
Your photograph doesn't have to stay an ordinary photograph.
A child can become a race-car driver. Someone can explore outer space. A family member can be placed into a fantasy world, sports scene, tropical setting or another custom environment.
Simple background change — +$10
New realistic scene — +$20
Fantasy or elaborate scene — +$30
Multiple people or complex custom creation — +$40
The creative charge applies to the finished image, not every copy you order.
So if you have one custom image created and want six copies for family members, you pay the creative fee once and then use the discounted same-image copy price.
What If My Photo Doesn't Fit the Panel?
Metal Moments are produced in a 3:2 format.
I will never simply stretch or distort your photograph to make it fit. Normal cropping and sizing are included. If fitting your photograph would cut out something important, I'll contact you before production.
In some cases, I can also extend or redesign the background rather than crop away important parts of the photograph.
How It Works
Choose your panel size and quantity.
Send me your photograph or photographs.
I'll review them and contact you if anything needs special attention.
Any optional restoration or creative work is approved before I proceed.
Your finished image is sublimated onto aluminum and prepared for pickup or shipping.
Pickup or Shipping
Local pickup is available at no additional charge.
Shipping is available and added based on the actual packaging and shipping cost.
Custom orders are paid before production. Because each piece is made specifically for you, custom pieces are non-refundable once production has begun, except for a manufacturing defect or an error on my part.
Not Sure What Your Photo Needs?
Send it to me. No Charge. No obligation.
You don't need to understand cropping, resolution, restoration, aspect ratios or any of the technical stuff. Show me the photograph and tell me what you'd like to do with it. I'll tell you what is possible and what it will cost before I start the work.
Ready to Create Your Metal Moment?
Getting started is easy. Send me the photo or photos you'd like to use and tell me a little about what you have in mind.
Maybe you simply want a favorite photograph reproduced on metal. Maybe an old family photo needs restoration. Or perhaps you'd like something completely different—putting your child behind the wheel of a race car, sending someone into space, changing a background, or creating an entirely new scene.
You don't need to know which service to choose or what it will cost yet. Send me your photos and tell me what you'd like to accomplish. I'll review everything, we'll discuss the options, and I'll give you the exact price before any work begins.
