Welcome Photographer Partner!
Welcome, Pro Photographer Partner.
You already know the moment. A client sees their image on metal for the first time, tilts it toward the window, and goes quiet. That reaction is what you are selling, and it is easy to sell when you have a print in your hand. We are the white-label lab behind it: we proof on actual metal, print, and drop-ship to your client with your name on the relationship and ours nowhere on the box. You shoot, you quote, you keep the margin.

Vivid Metal Prints has done one thing since 2003: dye-sublimation on aluminum. One material, one process, a 40,000 square foot lab in Lexington, NC, and a studio team that color-corrects every file to Adobe RGB before it goes near a press.
Side by side with paper or canvas, metal makes the others look flat. Highlights hold, color stays saturated, and the deeper black point keeps the texture in your shadows, the weave in a dark dress, the grass in a night game. Clients notice the difference from across the room, and it changes what they are willing to pay for a wall piece.
For you, metal is an upgrade line on the session packages you already sell: wedding albums get a hero piece, senior sessions get a statement print, landscape and fine art get a gallery-ready edition. The guide below shows where it sells best and what clients actually pay.
Everything you need for the client conversation.
The sales guide covers the talking points that move metal with portrait, wedding and fine art clients, plus the projects that close most often. The media kit has product photos, finish references and literature you can drop into your own pricing guide or website.
