*NOTE That some print dimensions may be different from the standard sizes below. Special Dimensions will be clearly marked within the "DESCRIPTION" Tab.

SMALL

You can imagine this size as the essential dash of color or texture in an otherwise boring bedroom, bathroom, or hallway. The final design accent you needed to finish the living room and bring it all together. Combine a few prints at this size and create a theme for any room in the house. All cats. Just water. Tiny animals in big landscape. Africa. Arctic. Or whatever wild combinations you can come up with.

Total Print Size (includes border): 8.2 x 10.8 inches – 20.8x 27.4 cm

Border: 0.2 inches (0.5 cm)

Edition: 100

Recommended Frame: 8.5 x 11 inches – 21 x 30 cm both with mat

MEDIUM

You can put this size anywhere (I’m obviously a bit biased though). But seriously, it works well either as a compliment to existing artwork or as a focal point for any wall in your house. There’s more color and more depth at this size in comparison to the small. You’ll notice more details and the subjects start to feel a bit more life-size. Especially for the close-up portraits.

Total Print Size (includes border): 11.8 x 15.4 inches – 30x 39 cm

Border: 0.6 inches (1.5 cm)

Edition: 100

Recommended Frame: 12 x 16 inches – 30 x 40 cm both with matte

LARGE

You are what you hang on your wall… These are statement pieces. It’s often said that people choose art based on their own personal characteristics and I think that is enormously true. For portraits of wildlife hanging on your wall, the mood of the subjects says a lot about who you are. Are you intense? Curious? Are you an ocean lover? Maybe you belong in the forest? Who are you?

There’s a lot less of this size on purpose. That’s because normally I sell this size and the extra-large exclusively in galleries to collectors. And for these sizes, as the edition is sold out the price goes up because each print becomes rarer. Classic supply and demand. Like the bigger print, the price could go up without warning at any point as more of the edition is sold.

Total Print Size (includes border): 18 x 23.7 inches – 45.8x 60.2 cm

Border: 0.5 inches (1.3 cm)

Edition: 25

Recommended Frame: 18 x 24 inches – 50 x 70 cm both with mat

EXTRA-LARGE

You’re certain to make a lot more than just a statement with a portrait of this magnitude. Iconic images printed in a space-defining size. These pieces will serve as the design core of any room. The focal point and the defining ambiance. You won’t be able to look away for a little while right after it’s hung. And you’ll be applauded by neighbors when they’re also mesmerized by the intensity and vibrance of these showstoppers.

Highly limited editions, so you know you’ll be part of an inner circle where an exclusive few have access to such visually provocative and substantial imagery. These are the kind of prints that hang in penthouse apartments, the boardrooms of fortune 50 companies, and the homes of presidents. Literally. For real on all examples.

Your clock is ticking. As the edition of 15 is sold out foreach print the price goes up depending on demand. Prices for this size usually start at a standard of $3500 and go up from there. Sometimes very drastically. Right now, is the best time for you to buy as these editions typically sell out quickly in galleries. And now that they’re available online, well, you get the idea, right? The price might be $3500 today and $5500 tomorrow if one of the 15 is sold, for example. If you absolutely love a print at this size today, don’t needlessly pay $2000 more for it tomorrow.

Total Print Size (includes border): 59.1 x 47.2 inches – 150x 120 cm

Border: None

Edition: 15

Recommended Frame: 60 x 50 inch frame with mat. Custom frame is recommended. Since the print has no border and this is the largest size, I suggest having a frame shop create a frame built specifically for the print so that the entire image is visible without a mat. You’re paying a premium for this size, so might as well make it look the best it can.

Special perks: Every purchase of an extra-large print comes with several additional benefits. You’ll receive an extra hand-signed certificate. Plus, I’ll personally correspond with you on choosing a frame and recommend one of my trusted worldwide professional framers.

Please note that frames are not available here in this store. The prints will be sent either in specialised mailing tubes or in crushproof packaging. See the Shipping & Returns Tab for more information on shipping.

DETAILED INFO ABOUT PRINT SIZES BELOW

Title: Rio

Location: Caiman Ecological Refuge, Brazil, 2019

Did you know that the Hyacinth Macaw can’t physically frown? It basically appears either happy, or really happy, all of the time.

During the 1980s they were in such high demand that more than 10 thousand were captured in the wild for the international pet trade.

Coupled with the expansion of agriculture and other human pressures, this well-mannered and expressive species of parrot was near the brink of extinction prior to international protections, which limited their trade in the global market.
Since then they’ve made a significant comeback in the Pantanal. Especially due to the dedication of organizations like the Instituto Arara Azu l. Their work at the Caiman Ecological Refuge has proven invaluable in aiding to bolster the population through a research program that studies the bird populations and helps to provide artificial nests that further ensures their reprise in the region.

This particular happy Macaw was captured while on assignment for BTS Nature with SOS Pantanal & Oncafari at Caimain. The male had just flown down from an artificial nest and landed on a fence post where he gave me a big ol’ grin, as if to offer his thanks to the support for helping his species.

If you’re keen to learn more about the Pantanal and the species that inhabit this critically important natural ecosystem, then check out SOS Pantanal and Instituto Arara Azul.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The sizes of Small (Edition 100) and Medium (Edition 100) are being sold here as a special edition print run of Rio, which was previously offered in 2019 as part of the Pantanal Exhibition (Gabriel Wickbold Gallery, Saõ Paulo, Brazil). Both Large and Extra-Large are also offered here as special edition sizes (Each Edition of 15), distinguishable from the original edition of 15 offered through the gallery as a 1x1 square dimension print.

SIZING GUIDE & ADDITIONAL DETAILS BELOW ON THIS PAGE.

Secure Delivery: Because the packages provided by the supplier are so protective, prints are rarely damaged. However, if a package does arrive damaged and the print is also damaged, you can contact me directly by email. You’ll need to photograph the package and the print and send the details to info@donalboyd.com along with your order number and tracking info.

Delivery Time: Orders ship out within 24-hours of your purchase, but can take up to 15-days to arrive, so please have patience. I'm using the trusted service of theprintspace located in London, UK. They're incredible, but only offer Flat Rate Worldwide shipping, which is limited in terms of order tracking numbers. From my experience so far with the previous print sale, everyone has received their orders, but due to COVID delays, things seems to take a bit longer than normal. Keep in mind that I'm all alone in trying to manage the print store right now, but I promise, you will get your print!

Estimated Average Shipping Times.

Europe: 3-5 Days
USA & Canada: 7-9 Days
Rest of the World: Up to 10 Days

As a final request, please consider emailing me only after 15-days from the day you purchased. I wish I could respond to every customer with the tracking details, but it's quite overwhelming since I've received hundreds of orders during the most recent sale period. I wish the system was automated, but unfortunately it's all manual at the moment. Thank you for your patience and consideration.

Exchanges & Returns:

Straight refunds are not accepted as these are limited editions prints, but I’m confident you’re going to love the print and cherish it forever. But if it isn’t what you expected, or it’s somehow damaged you can exchange it for free. Once the package is delivered, you’ll have 5-days to notify me via email info@donalboyd.com if the print is either damaged or if you’d like to exchange it for another of equal value. Shipping is free if the print is damaged, but if you want to exchange the print, you’ll need to cover the shipping costs, plus the cost of the prints. Unfortunately, I cannot accept back prints that have been delivered as there is too high a risk of them being damaged or lost in the shipping. I do not keep an inventory of prints as all orders are made within 24-hours of purchase and shipped out from the print lab in London or Germany. Therefore, because I do not keep a stock, I cannot accept back prints for this reason.

Secure Payment: Card details are never stored and if using any other payment method like PayPal, I’ll never have access to any of your sensitive payment details. Everything is handled through Shopify and is fully encrypted.

What is the option to pay in instalments on Shop Pay?

When checking out with Shop Pay, you now have the option to pay now or later. Paying in instalments on Shop Pay allows you to split your purchase amount into 4 equal, biweekly instalment payments—with 0% interest, no hidden or late fees, and no impact on your credit score. In some instances, your first payment is due when you make your purchase; otherwise, your first payment is due 2 weeks after your purchase.

Are there late fees with Shop Pay?

No, there are no late fees if you miss a scheduled payment.

Which payment methods are accepted if I use the option to pay Instalments on Shop Pay?

The instalments option on Shop Pay is available on debit and credit cards.

Edition Numbers: All prints are limited edition. Once the edition sells out there is never going to be another printed. Ever. At this time I can not accommodate special requests for specific edition numbers. Although it is a common practice when purchasing through galleries and exhibitions to ask for a specific edition number, the ordering system that I currently have in place does not allow for easy modifications after the order is placed online. For artwork that has a history of sales, you may receive a random As such, if you order two prints of the same image, you might not get consecutive edition numbers. For example, you might get Edition 5 of 15 and 1 of 15 for the same image even though you order the prints at the same time and even if the print appears to be almost sold out online.

Any other Questions: Feel free to contact me via email: info@donalboyd.com

Testimonials

★★★★★
I purchased Wilder, Hidden Danger, Sage of the Forest, and Elephants Never Forget. I bought a few for myself and a few as gifts for family. These images were my favorite, both for the stories of how Donal captured them, but also for the connection between the animals and the photographer. The photos convey a deep respect for the animals in the way that they seem to be peering into your eyes as you look at them. Such a sacred moment in time, captured in a beautiful photograph. The prints arrived in perfect condition due to careful packaging. All the prints are absolutely stunning and are even more captivating in person. I can't wait to have these on my walls.

I like the fact that you work with Nature Conservancy Organisations, I like to read your posts and ideas about environment concerns and... I love the photos! I also appreciate other photos from other photographers, and I buy specially books. But I want to have a big print from you in my house because your photos have a very special thing... Difficult to explain what it is... It has been a very instinctive story since I started following your IG account. They have a strong character, a rich colour. To me your photos are like a very tasteful crossing between a photograph and a painting. And the fact that the animals are portrait as serious as I'm used to see a human portrait being done but without losing the wilderness layer.

We've been long time fans of Donal's photography and love his photos online. This print is even more stunning in person and was printed on thick high quality paper as expected. We love his elephant series and are glad to have helped support his conservation mission.

I have several of Donal's large artworks. I bought the first big Elephant photograph in 2019. Donal’s enormous talent combined with his passion about wildlife provide him with the ability to bring us connection and closeness with nature and the animals he depicts. The giant Elephant hangs on the wall of our TV room and it’s like having a piece of Africa in our home.

Through his photography, Donal is able to capture astonishing moments of sincerity that are easily overlooked. The Sage of the Forest's expression reveals his acknowledgement of us, the spectator, and gently reminds us of the strong sense of humanity that these beautiful creatures exhibit. It is a privilege to be able to support both Donal and this vulnerable species through this beautiful piece of art. Thank you Don!
Donal is able to capture astonishing moments of sincerity in a countless number of creatures and locations. The Sage of the Forest's gentle expression conveys emotions that aren't easily explained with words. There is a level of acknowledgement on The Sage's behalf that asks nothing of us, the spectator, and reminds us of the strong sense of humanity that these beautiful creatures are capable of. It also serves as a reminder of how vulnerable this species is, and how nature asks nothing of us despite the abundance it provides humanity with. It is a privilege to be able to support Donal through this beautiful piece of art. Thank you Don!

We've been collectors of Donal's work for years. Although we've never been to many of the places where Donal visits, we feel like we have. His art on our walls brings us closer to nature that the world must learn to protect. We look forward to purchasing more of Donal's work in support of his conservation efforts.

A couple of years ago a stumbled upon this photograph on Instagram. I was immediately sold by the mystical energy of it, the beautiful dynamic composition, the beautiful patterns of the giraffes popping up against the dark green trees (what a color by the way!). I saved the photograph on my phone.
I have always had a certain attraction towards giraffes. These animals are so magnificent. Their height, their unique skin pattern, the way they walk and especially run is with so much bravura, its so gracious. They have always fascinated me. So when I learned about the big sale I did not doubt for a second and bought one of my favourite photographs. I am so happy with it!

The photographs came quickly and without issue from Europe. They are of exceptional quality with a certificate of authenticity for each one! I am beyond thrilled to support Donal and his conservation photography. Can’t wait to frame these beautiful photos!

I believe it is called Motherhood, with the baby elephant and mother. The print I bought from you two years ago of the elephant has been in my daughter's room since she was born, in part to hopefully make her passionate about animals and conservation as she grows up. I got this print for her/my wife as it felt representative of their relationship and I can't wait to hang it in my daughter's room to compliment her current picture.
