Black and white animal photography prints

Black and white suits animals better than almost any other subject. Strip the colour out and what is left is the shape of a head, the light in an eye, the texture of a winter coat — the things that made you stop and look in the first place.

These are the photographs from the collection that carry best in monochrome: a piebald's eye up close, a Clydesdale's muzzle, a collie mid-stride, a goat weighing you up, a cat on a step. Every one of them is a real animal photographed in Ireland, and many live at Forever Home Sanctuary.

Any print on this site can be made as a black-and-white edition at no extra cost — order the print you want and say "black and white" in the contact form or your order notes, and it will be converted by hand rather than by a filter, then proofed before it is sent.

Monochrome prints use the same 250gsm archival matte paper and pigment inks, signed on the reverse. Sizes run 5×5″ (€10), 8×10″ (€18), 12×16″ (€30) and 16×24″ (€50), with solid oak framing for €20 more. Prices are in euro and exclude postage, which is quoted at checkout for Ireland, the UK, mainland Europe and the United States.

Frequently asked

What sizes are the prints available in?
Four sizes: 5×5″ (13 × 13 cm) at €10, 8×10″ (20 × 25 cm) at €18, 12×16″ (30 × 40 cm) at €30 and 16×24″ (40 × 60 cm) at €50. Custom and panoramic sizes are possible on request.
How much does framing cost?
Framing adds €20 to any size. Frames are solid oak with a natural finish, museum-grade glass and an acid-free mount.
What paper are the prints made on?
Every print is made on 250gsm archival matte fine-art paper using pigment inks, and signed on the reverse by the photographer.
Do you ship outside Ireland?
Yes. Prints ship from Ireland to the United Kingdom, mainland Europe and the United States, as well as within Ireland. Postage is calculated at checkout based on size, framing and destination.
Is postage included in the price?
No. All prices exclude postage. The exact postage cost is shown at checkout before you pay, so there is nothing added afterwards.
What currency are prices in?
All prices are in euro (EUR). Cards issued outside the eurozone are charged the equivalent amount by your bank at their exchange rate.
Do print sales support the animal sanctuary?
Yes. Many of the animals photographed live at Forever Home Sanctuary, a small animal sanctuary, and a share of every print sale goes back into their care.
Can I order a print in black and white?
Yes, and it costs no extra. Order the print you want and mention black and white in the order notes or through the contact page — the conversion is done by hand for that image, not by an automatic filter.
Can I commission a photograph of my own animal?
Yes — commissions for dogs, horses and other animals are open. Get in touch through the contact page with what you have in mind and roughly where you are based.
