Beautiful print and attentive customer service.
Denise at Lucid was great at understanding what I was aiming to achieve with my print and was able to work to my time constraints. Customer service was outstanding all the way and my finished print absolutely beautiful.

Firstly, thank you Melanie for sharing your review. Making your mounted panel Piezography® Pro print on ACM (Aluminium Composite Material aka Dibond) was a challenge for the time constraints. Meeting the time constraints and making an outstanding finished presentation remained the absolute priority for your final major project. Congratulations on graduating and I'm looking forward to seeing what you make next. Best, Denise
Above and beyond
Denise's approach to working with artists is above and beyond anything I have ever experienced as a photographer. Her level of care, compassion, insight and dedication is truly remarkable. She took the time to listen and reflect on the work to find the perfect fit for each piece. Her passion for helping artists' work resonate in print is priceless. I will be back again and again. Denise, working with you is an inspiration!

Thank you for sharing your experience Hanna, it's been a pleasure taking this journey with you, making and delivering your prints for the final round of Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize 2024. We made a great connection and managed to synchronise the time distance between Nova Scotia and UK. Your sheer dedication and commitment to your practice down to the last hair on a portrait is inspiring. You are giving your clients a lasting gift and I'm really looking forward to seeing your finished project. Best, Denise
Excellent print quality, outstanding customer service!
I recently took advantage of a Lucid Imaging celebratory offer to have an image of mine printed at A3 size using Canson Infinity paper. The result was a beautifully produced print with a full range of tones that was a real pleasure to hold and look at. Denise has excellent communication skills and is someone who evidently cares about the quality of their work and customer satisfaction. I will be back for more!

Thank you P for taking the time to leave a review. Great to know you are delighted with your print which was a perfect match for Piezography, taking advantage of the wide tonal range and subtle split toning that added an additional dimension to the print. Looking forward to making more prints for you! Best, Denise

Perfect combination of high technical skills and artistic insight.
Denise has both the technical skills and artistic insight/experience to lift a print onto a whole other level. I'm incredibly precise about printing and have rarely come across anyone who works on this level.

Beautiful prints and a fantastic service.
Denise has been so helpful since I contacted her about having some prints made.
She has helped me choose the paper and the tones of the beautiful piezography inks and is very quick to respond to any queries i might have.
I will certainly be using lucid imaging again in the coming months.

Working with photographers and artists like yourself to make sensational prints is an absolute pleasure. You offer another considered perspective with your photography. I’m particularly enjoying time with the work and how it is developing the area of my practice of making prints that resonate.
Looking forward to making more art!

Know-how
Denise is in a class of her own when it comes to printing- Being in the same industry myself I know when passion comes through. Denise and the team at Lucid give work all the TLC your work deserves.

Bespoke printing at its best
Lucid Imaging really listens to you and takes the time to make fantastic prints. The piezo prints are out of this world - real competitor to the darkroom for quality and range of papers

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review Lucy. Making prints with you is always a pleasure and genuinely enjoyable. Your knowledge, creative thinking and appreciation of fine quality contribute to the final prints. Yes, Piezography® Pro is a valid alternative to darkroom black and white prints!
Amazing team of people
Amazing team of people!

I am so grateful to have been…
I am so grateful to have been introduced to Lucid Imaging. It has been one of the best experiences for printing. Denise was incredibly patient and kind, attentively listening to the story behind my project. She professionally explained the various options for papers, pages, covers for my portfolio, and through our collaboration, we were able to decide on the perfect outcome. Denise kept me informed every step of the way. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing Denise at the Lucid Imaging studio to pick up my portfolio in just a few day’s time.

Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to write and leave a review Mina. Secondly, apologies for the delay in making a reply! Seeing your work translate from the images on screen, to the pigment ink on paper, to watching as you turned the pages of your portfolio - I saw awe, appreciation and a sense of possibility for a continued journey. Looking forward to hearing all about your Arles journey and the reception to your new portfolio of new work. An absolute pleasure working with you and thank you for my Rosemary, that is so relaxing 😌

Something to shout about
Lucid Imaging was recommended to me by a friend and he could not speak more highly of Denise and how well he was looked after there. And everyone knows that a friend's recommendation is worth more than what the best marketing could ever afford. Art photography is not for everyone. As an artist you may often feel alone; in your echo-chamber, with your work and your unique vision of it. This is not an easy path. But on this path you may find allies: those special people who will support you in their unique ways and offer guidance, understanding and care beyond expectation. I found just such allies at Lucid Imaging, in Denise and Michael. To say that Denise's approach to working with artists and photographers offers a bespoke art print making service and consultation does not do it justice. The level of care and focus on the artwork and how the artist's vision can be achieved through creating prints that truly resonate is simply exceptional. Not to mention the specialist knowledge, the profound understanding of art and photography, and genuine love of print making that drive this. I was blown away by the ethos of what Denise and Michael do and how they go about it. They are an inspiration and all my friends will hear about it :)

Blown away by this review Kasia, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in writing and so articulately - this is exactly what we strive for. Collaborating with you to make your work has been an absolute pleasure. From listening to you discuss your practice to how you envisage the work through feeling, all contributes to making prints that resonate. Thank you also for the invitation to your private view - I'm looking forward to seeing the finished work installed for your successful opening. Looking forward to working with you again. Best, Denise
An Amazing Experience
Printing with Denise is an amazing experience. As well as an incredible level of technical skill, Denise also has a wonderful eye - printing with her isn't just a matter of handing files over to an operator - it's a true collaboration! and the results are outstanding. I'd never take my work anywhere else.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review Eugénie. Collaborating with you to make your prints is always such an enjoyable and satisfying experience. Delighted with how the character of films resonates through the prints and lends itself to the ambiguity of scale.
Looking forward to seeing the finished artwork after you do your magic with construction.
The attention to detail and how Denise…
The attention to detail and how Denise really listened to my request. The quality of the prints are a different level. A very fast service too. Will definitely be using again. Such great people to work with too.
