Gold Images

Critical Event offers three levels of image.

• Gold
• Platinum (click for info)
• Diamond Signature (click for info)

We really care about your memories and do everything to ensure our photo’s do them justice, whether you are viewing online, or buying prints.

Our Gold images make up the bulk of our post event online galleries and we are very proud of them. These galleries offer the chance to simply view relive the event, and also purchase high quality images, beautifully printed at a highly competitive price point. 

When Critical Event gets home from an event, we don’t just dump images onto a server and hope that you won’t be put off by vast amounts of unedited, low grade screen resolution images and messages like “we’ll sort them out a bit if you wish to purchase!”  

 

All our Gold images are:

• Photographed – using the same professional equipment as used at the major events by top sports and photo journalists, normally by full time or experienced photographers.
• Sorted – into galleries and key-worded to aid searching.
• Quality Checked – only those that show you looking “the part” are published.
• Processed – Because whether you just view on screen, your memories are important and so is looking good.
• Cropped – normally to the most popular 5×7″ format, but if not 6×4″ makes great 9×6″. Just shows you how good the image should look! 
• Uploaded – to our pro-account online galleries, hosted by smugmug who are one of the worlds best online gallery, print and gift services.
• Prints – At a click of a button you can have beautiful prints coming your way, made on very sophisticated equipment that also makes any final tweaks if required to ensure top quality photo’s.
• Guarantee - If the prints arrive and there is problem, please read about the 30 day guarantee. 

All purchasing can be carried out online using the online cart. Base price for a 5×7 is $9.99* however we often introduce pictures at $5.00* – $7.50* for a limited period just after the event. If you would like to buy lots of copies please contact us as we may be able to help, and keep an eye out for some specials that we have in mind for the future too. Postage and packing are also very reasonable with a range of options – and if you combine an order with a few friends then you can share the costs even further. *Prices in US $

Our Gold images seem hard to beat, and they are – we like to be the best too, but two upgrades are generally available.

• Platinum images are additional tweaks like alternative crops, Colour finishes (BW – Sepia) etc plus a few hand finish processing extras to make an image even more special. (read more) This service is often provided on media request images.

• Diamond Signature Images are often a complete start to finish custom processing of an image to your requirements by professional photographer, and owner of Critical Event, Steven Draper. These are then printed on quality archival photographic paper using top range photo inkjet printers at his studio. If required they can be matted and framed, we’ll even come round and hang them if you like! (read more)
