FAQs – Horsepower by Montana Marchi Photography

1. How much do photos cost?

Various sizes are available, including collages, canvas prints, as well as digital images.

Image prices are displayed as you go through the order process. Pricing includes color correction, cropping for best composition, and sharpening.

2. I want a size not listed, how do I order?

Larger, and unusual sizes are available; call to discuss any size not displayed in the photocart.

3. I see several photos I would like them combined on one print. How do I order?

Montages/collages, black and white, and other specialty photos are available.

Call to discuss if you do not see an example of what you want. I also do custom work.

4. The colors of the photos on my monitor do not look correct. Why is that?

There are several factors that affect the color of the photo as displayed on your monitor.

I color calibrate my monitors using special hardware and software. This gives me a very accurate color rendition. I calibrate my monitors several times a week as the color shifts easily.

Unless you are a photographer or graphic artist you probably do not have a color calibrated monitor.

Internet browsers may also affect the colors. In addition you may be using Microsoft Paint or some other generic photo viewer to view the photos. These viewers will display the images differently than professional, high quality graphics programs.

Night photography is tricky. Lights vary from track to track. Lights have their own unique “color temperature.” Lights cycle through different color hues, not noticeable by the human eye. For that reason the colors may vary in a sequence of shots.

5. How do I order photos?

The easiest way is to order directly from the Photo Shopping Cart in each gallery.

6. I was at the event but do not see my photo. What happened?

There are several possibilities…

I may have missed the shot; though that does not happen often. The car is out of position, the lighting is unflattering, I happened to have to much motion blur, ect. I might have been off track for your run, or on a ride along.

I am more than happy to check to see if there is one of you that did not get uploaded. I will send you a proof to determine if you want to order it.

7. I see one photo of me on the website, are there others that are not displayed?

More than likely…

Call me if you think this is the case.

If you are interested in seeing a sequence of shots, call me.

I usually have multiple shots of your run, but only upload a few of the best If you want to see if I have other photos email, FB or Instagram (PM), or call me.

8. Can I get a digital copy for FB or other social media?

Yes, if you purchase a print and want a low resolution digital print for social media I will provide one.

9. I see you posted my photo on FB. Can’t I just use a screen capture or take a photo with my iPhone and print my own?

The short answer is no.
