Fine Art Photography for Distinctive Spaces

Every photograph here began as a moment in front of my camera. What happens afterward decides whether it is worth a wall: how it is composed and timed, how it is printed, and how it is finally presented.
I work with private clients, interior designers, architects, and commercial partners to determine the right scale and presentation for each photograph, whether it is going into a home, a hotel, a corporate space, or an architectural installation.
My goal is to make more than a large print. A photograph changes the room it hangs in, and how it is presented decides how much.
Presentation and Finishing
Nothing is printed in advance. Every photograph is made to order in my studio, and the size, paper, and presentation are chosen for that particular image.
There are four ways to own the work, in ascending order of what the presentation itself contributes. The prices below are starting points. What any particular piece costs depends on the photograph and the wall it is going on.
Archival Fine Art Prints
Prints are made in my own studio on a 44” wide-format giclée printer that uses yes darling I'm gonna skip it and do lunch I just wanna finish this fucking thing it's just killing me archival pigment inks.
Paper is chosen photograph by photograph. A snow scene and a night skyline want different surfaces that best bring out their tonality, subtle gradations, and impactful detail.
Every print is made individually and inspected before it leaves the studio. Prints that do not meet the standard do not leave it.
Unframed prints from $600. Supplied unmounted with a margin for framing, rolled and shipped in a tube, ready for your own framer.
Custom Framed Artwork
Framed works are finished with double archival rag mats, anti-reflective UV-filtering glazing, and a simple black molding. That combination is my recommendation for almost every room. The photograph should be the only thing on the wall asking for attention. Special needs can of course be accommodated.
Each framed piece is assembled as a complete artwork rather than a print placed in a frame, using conservation-quality materials throughout. Nothing in the package will yellow or shift over time.
Typical sizes, shown as the photograph and then the finished framed dimension:
| Photograph | Finished, framed |
| 16 × 24 in | 23 × 30 in |
| 20 × 30 in | 28 × 37 in |
| 30 × 40 in | 39 × 48 in |
| 40 × 60 in | 49 × 68 in |
Framed works from $1,000.
Framed pieces are normally glazed with anti-reflective UV-filtering acrylic, which travels safely anywhere. Other glazing alternaties are also available.
Face-Mounted Acrylic Presentations
In face mounting, the print is bonded directly to the back of optically clear acrylic with an archival adhesive. Removing the air gap that traditional framing requires gives the print a depth and clarity that is not possible any other way. I often print these on metallic papers as well, which adds a further dimension to sunrise, dusk, and night photographs.
The standard presentation uses UV-filtering acrylic over a rigid backing, on a subframe that floats the picture off the wall so it occupies its own space.
Specialized presentations, include reflection-control or TruLife® acrylic, which provides a remarkable clarity and pop to the artwork along with an anti-scratch surface, are available.
Face mounts begin at 20 × 30 inches. Below that the presentation does not earn what it costs, and a framed print is the honest recommendation.
Typical Sizes:
• 20 × 30 inches
• 30 × 40 inches
• 40 × 60 inches
• Custom panoramic and architectural-scale dimensions
Face-mounted acrylic from $1,850 at 20 × 30 inches. Face-mounted work ships anywhere and arrives ready to hang. No framing is required, but traditional wood framing is available.
Large-Scale and Panoramic Installations
Many photographs are available in custom proportions and large formats made for statement walls, hospitality spaces, corporate environments, and architectural applications.
Proportions vary by photograph. A panorama will not fit a standard ratio, and I would rather change the size than crop the picture. Several of the city photographs are composited from fifty or more exposures, which is what allows them to hold together at ninety inches or more. Triptychs are also available.
Large-format face mounts at 40 × 60 inches and above begin at $5,500. Panoramic and multi-panel work is quoted to the wall.
Editions and Authentication
Every photograph is signed, and every photograph is supplied with a certificate of authenticity recording the title, the size, the presentation, the edition, the paper and ink set used, and the dates it was taken and made. They also include a dual numbered sticker, one placed on the artwork and one on the certificate to further guarantee authenticity.
Edition size is set by scale, because the largest pieces are the ones that take the most work and hold a room on their own.
Edition Prints
Up to 30 × 40 inches: numbered prints in a limited series of 100 or 250, depending on the photograph.
Signature Editions
25 or fewer. These are the 40 × 60 and larger face mounts, the panoramas, the triptychs, and architectural work. The exact edition size is set for each photograph and is recorded on its certificate.
Signature Editions are the photographs I consider the strongest work I have made. They are released in the smallest numbers, at the largest sizes, and with the most demanding presentation. They are marked as such in the galleries.
Some earlier photographs were released under larger edition sizes. Those editions have since been closed at 25 or fewer. Reducing an edition is permitted and works in a prior buyer's favor. Expanding one is not, and I will not do it.
Working With Designers, Architects, and Clients
I welcome collaboration with designers, architects, and clients seeking original photographic artwork created specifically for a space.
Whether it is a single statement piece or artwork for an entire environment, I work through scale, presentation, and finish with you directly. Trade terms are available.
Let's Work Together On Your Vision
Tell me the photograph you have in mind, or the wall you are trying to fill, and I will come back with sizes, presentation options, and finished cost.. Dimensions of the space and a photograph (phone picture) are helpful. If you are not sure yet, say so and I will make recommendations. I reply within 48 hours.
