Luis Bezanilla’s insistence upon shooting with the highest resolution cameras and finest lenses available has long been a driving force behind his unmistakable technique.

The Luis Bezanilla INC. Fine Art Image Integrity Program was designed to ensure the security and genuineness of every Luis Bezanilla INC. Fine Art Limited Edition and Artist Proof and to minimize the risk of forgery or duplication. A serialized and numbered hologram is placed on the face of the Certificate of Authenticity and a second, identically numbered hologram is applied to the Versa Certificate found on the back of the edition. Lastly, a record of your hologram number is stored at the Luis Bezanilla INC. Fine Art Corporate Headquarters. This combination of serialized holograms ensures the genuineness of each Luis Bezanilla INC. Fine Art Edition. / Rewrite. Make it original and unique with no citations.

Print

Ansel Adams famously remarked that “The negative is comparable to the composer’s score and the print to its performance.” Those words ring true decades later, whether the negative is digital or analog—quality control is critical and Luis leaves nothing to chance. While dedicating his life to shooting with the highest quality cameras and lenses possible - Luis also demands this same passion be evidenced in the print:

On our Limited Edition artwork we offer two different edition collections. The Limited Edition (LE) is up to 950 and the Artist Proof (AP) is up to 45.

- Limited Edition (LE) images are printed on silver halide material

- a time-honored darkroom process that is slow and expensive - but delivers ultimate results.

- Artist Proof (AP) images are printed at double the resolution (610 DPI ) of the Limited Edition then finished to a museum grade acrylic with an additional anti-reflection of 91.5%—for the most discerning buyer. This special patented acrylic means you view your art virtually glare free from light sources in your home such as art lights, reflected sunlight, etc.

One key feature of the Luis Bezanilla INC. Style™ and Luis Bezanilla INC. Style Prints™ is the vibrance. In order to more accurately reproduce what Luis witnessed when he captured the image, the finest possible materials available today are utilized to best recreate the same feeling he experienced when he pressed the shutter.

The paper we print our images on is a silver halide photographic substrate. This material offers the best possible image quality because the photo emulsion layers (RGB) are incorporated in the material. With this technique, transition steps of density changes are super smooth, commonly referred to as continuous tone.

High Definition Artist Proofs

Luis Bezanilla INC. Fine Art’s High Definition Artist Proofs receive an extra level of security with an embedded edition number in the lower right hand corner of the artwork. This special feature can only be viewed with a 10x magnification loupe and is nearly invisible to the naked eye.

By keeping all production in-house, the company ensures that the final and critical last act is not an afterthought. This approach allows for special attention to be paid to superior packing practices and materials, which further protect your fine art from damage in transit. All of this is done under one roof, ensuring that your artwork is in good hands from start to finish.
