Limited editions / Fine Art Prints
All limited edition prints made on highest quality paper in a professional photo lab using pigment-based inks to achieve prints of superior archival quality. My favorite paper is Hahnemühle Matt FineArt.
Limited edition prints on paper will be accompanied by a hand-signed Hahnemühle Certificate of Authenticity, specifying image title, size, author, limited edition number and print details. Each certificate has a unique, serialized numbered hologram. A second, identically numbered hologram is applied on the back of the print.
Exclusive editions of one print
Exclusive editions of one print are available on request. Please contact prints@mariaplotnikova.com if you want to enquiry about unique prints and see a selection of unpublished images.
Limited editions prints
My limited editions fine-art prints are usually restricted to a fixed number of 3, 5 or 10 prints for print size of the image. This means that the number of physical prints for a given image of a given size in the marketplace will be 10 only. Limited editions are marked with two numbers on the lower white border of the print: the unique number of the print and the size of the entire print run. For example, the 1st print of a particular image in an edition of 10 will be numbered as 1/10, the 2nd print of the same image will be numbered as 2/10 and so on until the last print that will be numbered as 10/10. The small number of prints produced guarantees higher collectible value. Once a certain edition is sold out, the image is retired and can no longer be printed as fine-art print. Please note, however, that images for limited edition fine-art prints may be and may have been previously published in other mediums such as books, magazines, calendars or posters.

How to order
Once you select your image, kindly contact prints@mariaplotnikova. com specifying the title of the image and the size that you are interested in and the edition type (exclusive, limited or open edition). Upon receipt of your request, I will confirm to you the first available edition number for the image you chose. I will also advise you on expected delivery time on the basis of my field trips and assignments.
The prices for limited editions shown above are valid for the first ten prints. After the first ten prints of each image are sold, the price for the remaining prints increases progressively. Prints will be dispatched upon receiving payment by PayPal or proof of payment by wire transfer.
Payment
Secure payment of fine-art prints can be made either through PayPal or by wire transfer. Other payment types are available depending on country.
Shipping
Prints can be shipped worldwide, using reputable international couriers. Each print is wrapped in two sheets of protective paper and sent in a strong cardboard tube sealed at both ends.
Delivery
Most images are printed to order. I will notify you the approximate delivery time for each order. As I am often travelling on photographic trips or assignments, please be aware that I may not be able to ship your print immediately, as I personally check print quality and hand-sign each print. When you contact me, I will let you know when I will be able to produce and ship your print.
Refund and replacement policy
I believe that you will love your print. Image quality is personally checked and approved by myself before shipment. If for any reason you are not happy with the quality of your print, I will offer you a full refund. Simply notify me and return the print in its original packaging, together with its certificate of authenticity, within seven days of receiving it. All returns are free of charge. However, kindly ensure that the print is returned in perfect condition (e. g. with no fold lines, fingerprints, scratches etc.) for me to be able to make any refund. In the rare event of prints becoming damaged or lost during shipment due to courier’s responsibility or improper packaging, I will replace the print with the next number in the edition at no cost. If the edition be sold out, a full refund will be made. In case of damage, however, both the damaged print and certificate of authenticity must be returned for destruction. Because the value of limited edition prints also lies in the exact size of the print run and the specific and unique number on each print, we need to physically account for any returned print. This is to safeguard our client’s purchase and prevent an edition of 10 becoming an edition of 11.
