Fine Art Prints

Ansel Adams once said "the negative is the score, and the print is the performance", and this is how I approach creating a fine art print that expresses my interpretation of nature's beauty. Sharing my perspective and feelings through an original photograph will hopefully bring similar feelings and emotions to you, and provide a way for you to come closer to nature in your home or office.

I currently work with high resolution digital cameras, and creatively process each image to correct for tonal and color variances, contrast, spot and dust removal, and sharpening for printing. Under no circumstances are elements digitally added that were not already present in the original photograph. As a landscape photographer, I firmly believe in representing the natural truthfully, and will return to a location numerous times to capture a scene as desired.

I do all of my own printing, matting, and framing in my studio to ensure that each and every print is perfect, we truly want you to be completely satisfied with your investment. . I use pigment based Epson and Canon large format printers, and all prints are guaranteed for life never to fade or change color, assuming proper care and protection from exposure to ultraviolet radiation such as sunlight. If there is ever any problem, the print will be replaced and framed free of charge.

Prints are matted using Bainbridge archival mats and backing board. Wood frames are available in many styles and colors, and all prints use TruView anti-glare Museum glass. Each framed photograph comes with a unique seal of authenticity label on the back, and my signature and edition number on the front. The presence of this label guarantees that you own an original photograph.

Canvas Museum Wrap prints provide you with a clean and intimate presentation that focuses on the image itself without framing or glare from glass. The non-glare quality provides the most flexibility for different mounting locations without concern for bright lighting. Compared to matted and framed prints, the canvas prints look more like paintings, but preserve the rich colors, tonal depth, and fine details of a traditional photograph.

After the canvas print has dried thoroughly, a special coating is applied to the canvas to guard against the harmful effects of light, water and abrasion. This protective coating helps to bring out the depth and clarity of the image and allows the canvas to be cleaned with a damp cloth. It is then stretched onto a 1 1/2" pine wood frame for a classic frameless presentation. Each canvas is hand made by me in my studio, and I sign and date each one with a fine point silver marker for authenticity.

For a given wall space you should generally choose the next larger size for a canvas print than you would for a matted print. The total size and cost is usually about the same, but you get a larger and more detailed image with the canvas print.
