Black Box Photo Online Portfolios : Image, Publication & Web Site Policies Various Black Box Photo Online Portfolio images are unstaged "candid" or "street" photographs, taken in or from public spaces without intent to invade the privacy of or discredit any randomly-appearing individual. Email any related complaints, requests or comments to Black Box Photo via the online contact page at . Most Black Box Photo Online Portfolio images are minimally/slightly cropped, "available light", "documentary" photographs presented in 4:3 or 3:2 format, However, they do not thereby compose either direct "reportage" or "documents of record" which are free of arbitrary post-processing and retouching. The ethics or aesthetics of actuality were not a consideration in their making (which approach implies no kind of sociological or photographic normative). Titles are for reference only and, like the images, comprise no editorial. The year of exposure and of publication in an Online Portfolio may differ. Each Black Box Online Portfolio jpeg image is rendered in IEC61966-2.1 sRGB colour space in two sizes and resolutions: the smaller with a maximum of 800 horizontal or 600 vertical pixels at 24% jpeg compression; the larger with a maximum of 1024 horizontal or 768 vertical pixels at 1% jpeg compression. All images, other than thumbnails, contain embedded ICC sRGB profiles. Uncropped, full-frame source images range from 2-12 Megapixels; embedded dpi data in the online images vary arbitrarily depending on the post-processing involved. Initial colour gradation is determined solely by aesthetics and photographic intent, not colorimetrics, with a gamma of 2.2 ("standard" for sRGB color space and the default in Microsoft Windows). The default gamma of 1.8 on older Macs may render the images "too light". The online images have been slightly rebalanced to provide an acceptable appearance in a wide range of current web and image browsers running under either Mac or Windows - with or without colour management - as well as on older (D55), medium-brightness displays or restricted-range inkjet printers. Output on higher quality laser printers or some modern (D65) LCD monitors, especially notebooks, may require minor adjustment for optimal reproduction. "Photographic quality" reproductions are supplied as standard or archival ink-on-paper prints; UV fade resistant canvases; self-adhesive vinyl or clingfilm wall or window displays; or time/print-limited Adobe RGB(1988) or sRGB IEC61966-2.1 .PDF files with accompanying printer-setup images. Other colour spaces/encodings may be available, subject to a surcharge. Pricing varies by medium, delivery method, image resolution and license type (personal use, commercial use, publication medium and extent, etc). Compilations in special formats (photo books, calendars, etc) negotiable. Actuality photographs depicting identifiable persons are licensable only for personal use or approved, advertising-unrelated, editorial purposes.
