Digital Cameras & Accessories Hampton Photo Arts supplies digital cameras as versatile as our photographers. Our selection ranges from simple point-and-shoot to high-end technology. If you need a camera bag, batteries, a tripod or an extra memory card, we’ve got that too. Camera Repair Hampton Photo Arts has teamed up with Pix Camera Repair to offer a digital and film camera repair service. We offer the lowest camera repair estimate fee on Long Island! All camera and lens repair estimates are just $15.00. Color and Black & White Film For those who prefer a more traditional approach to photography, Hampton Photo Arts supplies both color, slide and black & white film in 35mm and 120. We carry Kodak, Fuji, Ilford and more. We also carry disposable cameras and advantix film (APS). For those photographers who prefer to develop their own film, we stock darkroom chemicals and photo papers as well. Digital Photo Paper No matter your preference, Hampton Photo Arts is sure to carry the inkjet photo paper you need. We provide everything from simple matte & glossy paper to high-end watercolor, pastel, velin and HDR (high dynamic range) pearl. Scanning To print or enlarge your digital art, we provide scanning. Bring digital media in to us on a CD, DVD or USB drive and we’ll make a high-resolution scan. If you intend to create larger prints of any images, it is best to scan them at the highest resolution to preserve the integrity of the image. Most people find that a resolution of 2000 dpi (dots per inch) meets their needs. However, cropping an image reduces how much it can be enlarged so a higher resolution of 3000 to 4000 dpi is best for photos you plan to crop. Pre-Cut Mats Hampton Photo Arts offers pre-cut mats for photography display. Our standard, double and windowless mats come in an array of colors to suit individual needs. Mats & Matboard Our 32 x 40 matboard comes in many colors to suit any particular project. Our 40 x 60 matboard comes in 2 colors. Fine Art (Giclee) Printing If you’re looking to avoid the expense of mass-producing photography, we provide fine art printing called giclee (pronounced zhee-clay). It is a process of making fine art prints from a digital source using ink-jet printing. Sell Your Photos Online Here at Hampton Photo Arts we offer this unique service to our photographers. We supply you with the storefront (photo gallery) to add landscapes, portraits, events, etc. to sell. Customers can view the photos and pick the ones they want to have printed. We take the orders, print the photos and ship them directly to your customers. Then, we send you a check for the money. This service is ideal for event or model photographers whose customers tend to order a lot of prints. Giving your photos that ‘extra touch’ not provided by traditional printing kiosks will keep customers coming back. Digital Recovery and Rescue If you’ve accidentally deleted photographs or some files have become corrupt, Hampton Photo Arts can recover lost items from most all camera manufacturers. Simply bring in the memory card and fill out the digital recovery form and we’ll get started. Additional Services Hampton Photo Arts offers a wide variety of photo albums and photo frames. We provide enlargements and photo posters as well as a CD and DVD duplication service. If you’re looking to turn photos into unique gifts, we can turn those favorite creations into jigsaw puzzles, T-shirts, mouse pads and more! On the road? Get your film developed by mail.

| Art of Photography |
|
When families get together, both children and adults love to look through photograph albums. They enjoy seeing the childhood photos of older family members and compare themselves to ancestors who lived a hundred or more years ago. Photos are among the most important treasures of every family. They should not be faded and dull. They contain the smiles, tears and emotions of generations. The staff members at Hampton Photo Arts display excellence in the art of photography reproduction. They work with the highest quality materials. They know how to create family memories that will be just as beautiful one hundred years from now as they are today. |
Photography is an amazing art form. A photograph album is a catalogue of life's history as seen through the camera. People, animals, nature, holidays, celebrations and even disasters are captured instantly and recorded as part of history. It is through the powerful presentations of photography that we better understand the progression of time and life. Hampton Photo Arts has over twenty years of experience working with photographers as they seek to capture and preserve the history of families and communities.| Learning to Paint Watercolors |
|
Watercolor is an easy, fun medium for creating art. Color theory, composition and design can be explored freely with watercolor paint, paper, and brushes. Several techniques may be used with watercolors for varying effects including painting wet on wet, wet on dry, layering washes, and more. Watercolor paper comes in cold press, hot press, and rough. Rough paper has the most texture, and its hills and valleys can result in interesting effects when paint is added. Hot press is the smoothest and has the finest texture. Cold press has a moderate amount of texture and is the paper most commonly chosen by watercolor artists. Watercolor paper comes in several weights ranging from 90 lb. to 300 lb. based on the pounds per ream of paper. Most artists prefer to use at least 140 lb. paper. Papers vary somewhat between manufacturers, so sampling different papers is advisable. Paper can be purchased in pads, in blocks or in large sheets. The large sheets are usually the most economical and can be torn into whatever size is desired. |
