Hello and welcome to the Cherry Lane Photos Portfolio site.
My name is Tom Ayres and you have been viewing my photos. I have been taking photos for several years and my friends and family have always encouraged me by providing very positive remarks about the quality of my photos. Of course many of my photos, like yours I am sure, are of family and friends, but as you can see I also spend quite a bit of time collecting images of the places that I have been. Some of those places I have gone to specifically to take photos and experiment with my artistic photographic style.
So at the encouragement of friends and family, and with the Portfolio tool that is provided by Adobe, I have published this Portfolio site so that others can enjoy the photographic work that I have created.
Please feel free to provide your reactions and comments about your experience while visiting this site by using the “Contact CLP” form contained in this site. This site was not developed to sell photos. however if there are any particular photos that you would like to own, I have developed a cost effective way for that to be accomplished.
Of course the photos that you view on this site have been adjusted for efficient use on an internet based website, they are of low resolution and small file size, so the photo cannot simply be downloaded from the site. But there are 2 ways that you can purchase these photos:
The first way is to simply purchase a print, any size up to 8x10. These prints will be produced from full size files at 360dpi without the copyright watermark. Since most of the cost of getting one of these prints to you is the packaging and mailing costs, I have decided to simply charge a flat rate of $20 USD per print. If you want more than one print, let’s say different sizes of the same photo; just let me know what you are interested in and we can find a reasonable price based on the cost of materials and postage.
-or-
For larger prints or to use the photo for specialty purposes, like putting is on a calendar, coffee mug, etc. via one of the many photo sites that do that, then you will need to purchase the photo file itself. The cost of a jpeg file and the rights for you to use the photo for your personal purposes is $40 USD. All of the photos that you have viewed are copyrighted, although the copyright watermark will not appear on the photo from the file that you receive, and images from the $40 file may not be used for commercial use, it cannot not be used to profit you or someone else.
If you want a file that can be used commercially there are 2 options:
1) You can purchase a full size file and the rights to use it commercially for $65 USD. Ninety percent of my photos are stored on Cherry Lane Photos systems in RAW format. You will simply need to let me know what file format you require. We simply ask that Cherry Lane Photos be given copyright credit wherever the photo is published commercially.
2) You can also purchase a full size file with no copyright restrictions for $100. The copyright information will be removed from the file and you can then use the photo in any way that meets your need without providing any credit back to CLP.
As I mentioned earlier this site was not designed to sell photos. So if you want to use one of the above options simply get in touch with me via the Contact CPL page and we can work out the details.
Thank you for visiting the site. I will be refreshing and renewing it periodically so be sure to check back often. Also please feel free to share a link to this site with your friends and family.
