Hello Canvas: My favourite photo
As those of you who follow me on Instagram may be aware, I take a lot of photographs of the children…..and I make no excuses for that! Being a blogger it seems to be an unwritten rule that in the Summer months you must visit the lavender fields and snap beautiful photos of your children, and I was keen not to miss out!
I love every single photo that I took of the children that day, posing in the lavender in beautiful dresses (or running wild if your name is Harry!), and yet one of the photos literally blew me away. I think I would go as far as saying that this is my favourite photo of Eva, ever.
As soon as I had taken this photo I knew that I wanted it on a canvas, it just captured her thoughtful personality so well, and when Hello Canvas asked me to review one of their products, I didn’t hesitate to say yes!
Hello Canvas have a wide range of products ranging from canvases to framed prints, phone cases to wall maps, and yet one item caught my eye instantly – the HD metal canvas. The website describes the canvas as follows –
HD metal is the most beautiful thing we have ever seen. HD Metal consists of a thin aluminum plate with a special coating on top. We then use a unique technique to apply your photo or image onto it. The result is phenomenal!! Razor-sharp, ultra strong with a never seen before photo quality. The material we use is scratch-resistant and waterproof so it is perfect for outdoor use. The high-gloss version is the successor of acrylic prints however it is lighter, stronger, cheaper and has vibrant colours! The matt version is the successor for dibond, aluminium and forex prints. HD Metal comes with a free hanging system and spacer for the wall which gives it more depth. HD Metal was created for galleries and top photographers but is now also available for you!
With a choice of matt or glass, I chose the gloss for a premium professional finish. Just a few days later my canvas arrived, well packaged and protected, and it was absolutely beautiful!! The quality of the print was everything I had hoped it to be, and my only negative is that, with it being a gloss finish, it was so difficult to catch on camera just how lovely it is!!
The canvas is so light weight and so thin, unlike my heavy acrylic canvases I have currently. The colours were also much brighter and the picture sharper, something which I feel regular canvases really lack.
The back of the canvas has an adjustable hanger that you can move to whichever position you like in order for your canvas to hang perfectly.
I am so impressed with our canvas and the whole process from start to finish. I can’t wait to get our canvas up on the kitchen wall so that I can look at it each day and beam with pride at what a beautiful little girl I have.
That photo is absolutely beautiful no wonder it is a favourite and it looks great on canvas, enjoy having it on your wall to cherish.
Thank you, it’s my absolute favourite. xx
Such a gorgeous photo, Eva looks like an angel and the whole photo definitely looks like a work of art! Enjy your beautiful canvas!
Thank you so much! xx

Ahh thank you Louise, I’ve only really got into it this last year but I’m really enjoying it! xx
This is a beautiful photo of your daughter. A lovely addition to the kitchen wall!
Thank you Ashleigh! xx
Absolutely stunning! I take so many photos of my children too, I must print more of them out. I’d love some canvases of them for around the house.
I’m the same, I rarely find a minute to get them ordered but this one was super quick and came so fast! xx
Wow! I have never seen these metal pictures before. They’re ingenious (just been looking at their site). Ive also never been to these beautiful lavender fields. It’s absolutely a goal though. So, so beautiful.
They are amazing aren’t they? I wish the photos showed just how vibrant the colours are, it really is beautiful! xx
That is a beautiful picture and that frame is pretty nice. Nice to see a hung picture,it’s rare to see these days.
I agree, I’m terrible for not getting photos printed though! xx

I can see why you love it, it’s absolutely beautiful. I would love to get some canvas prints of the children. Beautiful.
Thanks Nichola. xx
It looks absolutely beautiful! I also take a lot of pictures and am so guilty of not printing them so this looks like a lovely idea x
Thanks Sarah. xx
This photo of Eva really is beautiful. She looks so graceful, like an angel blessing everything around her! You should be proud ^_^
Thank you Eva. xx
Beautiful photo and canvas. We need to get some canvas prints of Zach as we have NO photos of him in our home 🙁 so I’ll head over the their website and take a look
Oh I definitely recommend them! xx
That photo is just so insanely beautiful and it looks so perfect on canvas! x
Ah thank you! xx
I have a photo on HD Metal and will never go back to canvas now – they are brilliant
Nor me Kara, so easy to clean too! xx
Framing is so expensive! I have so many things to frame, I jut have to dive in and do it. I’ll check out HD Metal. I like the brushed finish a lot so it might work on some smaller pieces that need a frame.
PS: Your little girl is a cutie pie! 🙂
Ahh thank you! xx
This photo is stunning and captures everything perfectly, I am not surprised you wanted that one on the wall
Thank you Stephanie. xx
You’re so right, this is a gorgeous photo of Eva. It’ll look great on your wall!
Thanks Laura! xx

What a beautiful photo! I can’t wait until my little one is older so I can take her to fields and take photos of her. I love the canvas, it would make the perfect present

I must check out HelloCanvas; we’ve been talking for a long time about putting more pictures up and it seems a great excuse when you discover a good company!
Thank you Jess, I’d never seen the HD metal canvas’s until now, they are so lovely! xx
We have acrylics at the moment and I have always wondered about the metal ones, it’s hard to imagine the finish but looks gorgeous!
It’s gorgeous, so professional! xx
That photo is so beautiful. I love it when you take loads of photos and find that hidden gem, that photo that you want to frame and keep forever x
Thank you Rachel, I completely agree! xx
It is such a beautiful photo! I keep meaning to get some printed and just never get around to it! I’d love to have a new one done of my son or one from our recent holiday
