The Natural Bridge

from $34.00

There are colors in the Canadian north that feel entirely separate from the rest of the natural world. Standing at the Natural Bridge in Jasper National Park during the final days of May, I was confronted by a shade of turquoise so bright, so impossibly blue, that it looked as if the earth were lit from within. This is the Kicking Horse River at its most vibrant, fueled by fresh glacial melt and carrying the minerals of ground rocks that gives the water its neon glow.

The scene was a study in contrasts. While the turquoise water roared through the ancient limestone fissures beneath my feet, an imposing mountain peak stood guard in the distance. The sky above it was heavy, filled with gathering dark gray clouds, acting as a stark, moody remnant of winter that refused to let go of the high country.

In the height of July, this bridge is often crowded with travelers, the quiet roar of the river competing with the hum of tourism. But on this morning, the air was still and the surroundings were empty. I found myself reflecting on the luck of the timing; to witness such a powerful, pristine display of nature without the filter of a crowd is a rare gift. It was a moment of profound solitude, a brief window where the water, the mountain, and the storm belonged only to the wilderness.

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.
