Red Arches and Blue Skies

from $34.00

In a place as photographed as Arches National Park, it’s easy to fall into the rhythm of the obvious: wide shots from the trailhead, center-framed arches, postcard compositions. But on this day, I wanted something different. I wanted to look through the stone, not just at it.

This image was taken tucked beneath the towering span of Double Arch, where the red rock glows with the last light of the afternoon. The angle is unusual - almost abstract - showing the intersection of these massive sandstone limbs as they stretch skyward and overlap, framing a brilliant blue Utah sky. The contrast of warm and cool tones felt surreal. A faint contrail streaked across the open space like a passing thought in a silent cathedral of stone.

To capture this composition, I had to climb low into the crevices, twisting my body between rocks to find the line I had in mind. My legs ached and my hands were scraped by the time I pressed the shutter - but that’s the point. The best photos often live where most people don’t look.

This scene reminded me that photography, at its best, is not just about documenting a place, it’s about seeing differently. And in a landscape shaped by time and pressure, it feels only fitting to do a little of both yourself to capture something truly unique.

Metal Prints

Metal prints are celebrated for their unmatched durability and vibrant color presentation, delivering extraordinary sharpness and detail. The sleek, modern finish enhances the luminosity of each image, making colors pop with a radiant glow. With superior fade resistance, metal prints maintain their brilliance over time, embodying the pinnacle of photographic reproduction.

Each image is first printed to a transfer paper, then infused into Chromaluxe metal by heat and pressure. This process combined with our custom made color profiles give true to life colors and exceptional detail.

Fine Art Glicee Paper Prints

Fine art prints stand out with their exceptional quality, capturing the subtlety of shades and the intricacies of texture, ideal for reproducing artworks and photographs with artistic merit. Their archival inks and heavyweight papers promise longevity and aesthetic appeal, offering a sophisticated, gallery-worthy presentation that honors the creator's vision. All fine art prints require framing. I currently do not offer framing or mat boards for photo prints and fine art prints.

My fine art prints utilize the highest quality archival inks printed onto premium photo paper. This process ensures a sharp and true-to-life image, reflecting both the subtleties and vibrance of the original.

Canvas Prints

A museum-quality canvas ready for display. Using the giclee printing process, archival ink is sprayed onto these fine art canvases and gallery-wrapped. These prints feature subtle fine art texture with ultra-tight corners and sharp color accuracy.

All photos are printed on certified archival quality canvas that is hand-stretched in the USA around a 1.5” wood stretcher frame. Canvas includes a smooth matte finish that eliminates any unwanted glare or reflections. Canvas is a poly-cotton blend that is guaranteed to have a 100+ year display life. With no optical brighterners or synthetic fibers, this is considered the highest quality canvas available in the photo printing industry. Once wrapped, a durable display handware is attached directly to the back of the canvas. Depending on the size, this will either be a sawtooth or wire for hanging.

Recommend using a microfiber towel to remove dust or fingerprints.
