Hi everyone,
Welcome to my first newsletter from this email address!
In this initial communication, I am writing to let you know that I’ve launched a new website, one dedicated to print sales. The URL is https://tonywu.art
I am really excited because this is a project that I’ve had on my to-do list for years. It feels wonderful to bring the site to life.
To start, I’ve prepared 27 prints of some of my favorite images of humpback whales.* If you take a look at the site, you’ll see that the images are divided into two collections—Wall Art and Collector’s Editions—with a range of sizes and prices.
There are three things I’d like to draw your attention to.
First is a special offer for a print I’ve titled Sound Asleep.
The image is from an unforgettable encounter with an adult female humpback whale and her calf in crystal-clear blue water. In short, they became so comfortable with our presence that I was inches from the tip of her nose when I took the photo. The perspective is unique, and image accentuated by the fact that she’s emitting a small stream of bubbles from her head. I joke that it’s like snoring. It isn’t snoring of course, but it does indicate a really relaxed whale!
This is one of the images that has been shortlisted for the LUMIX People’s Choice Award in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year contest. Whether you invest in a print or not, I’d greatly appreciate your vote via the link!
To celebrate the holidays and the People’s Choice Award nomination, I have discounted the price of this print, starting from US$85 for a 8 x 8 inch print. That is a 43% reduction from the regular price from one of my all-time favorite photos.
The second thing is that there is discount code on the site for 20% off all purchases: SAVE20. The code will be valid through 31 December, available to anyone.
Even better though, I’ve created a special discount code just for readers of this newsletter. Use 3030 to get 30% off your purchase. The only catch is that the code will only work for the first 5 people to use it. So if you’d like a print for yourself or as a gift, grab the discount!
And finally, you’ll see that there’s a newsletter sign-up form on my site, with an accompanying incentive of a free print for a person that I’ll pick at random from my newsletter list. As an existing newsletter subscriber, you’re automatically included. I’ll have a third person select a winner at random, whom I'll contact at the beginning of next year.
Just to let you know, I plan on sending out one more newsletter before the year end, sometime in mid- to late-December, with a selection of my favorite images that I’ve taken this year, accompanied by background stories and interesting information.
There will be humpbacks, strange(!) deep-water critters, and probably even a dog and some people. I'm not entirely sure because I haven't picked the photos yet.
Please take a look at my new site, pass it along to anyone you know who might be interested, and have a wonderful festive season!
