"When we decorate with photo prints we enhance the quality of our daily life in a way language alone can't. Only in photography do science and art come together to turn light into something magical...". and that's how I started a seminar I teach on Photographing for Decor.
I take photographs because I have to. It's a need to capture the magic around us. I have been taking photographs since I was 11. My cameras have changed a great deal, but the goal remains the same, to capture that magical moment in a way only a photograph can.
"It all starts with light captured at the blink of an eye or lavishly longer. Photography (writing with light) is part art, part science, and all magic. Like a time machine, photographs can be frozen memories that bring us back in time, launch our imagination or stir powerful emotions... Add purposeful artistic interpretation in the lab and the photographs can become fine art." but enough about that.
This is where ♡you♡ come in, to find which image pleases and challenges *your* heart and senses, creating that special feeling for yourself or for a gift . Each of my prints is professionally processed and handmade so we can work together and tweak it. Just contact me or request a custom job or to make changes to existing ones.
All my work is guaranteed original and fade-proof, printed using the highest quality materials at the most reasonable cost possible. I normally print using Premium luster paper but I also have available quality German art papers made with 100% rag or cotton.
Most of my images are available also in very large sizes, 20x30, 40x60 and larger. Sadly at Etsy is hard to appreciate the nuances of the images due to the small size of the etsy windows.

✮DECEMBER 2013 UPDATE✮ - I now process all my prints in regular sizes up to 13x19 and all panoramic sizes up to 13x40 in my brand new digital studio using only museum-quality archival pigment inks in 9-11 hues .Select fine art papers in single sheets or rolls including art gallery handmade papers or canvases. Using wider digital color spaces that reflect the nuance of each hue, the results are better than standard run of the mill processing.
In addition to quality control end-to-end from shutter-click to laying down each color pixel, I can also insure the final product is exactly what I intended it to be - and because it is hand-made one print at a time I can work with you to make it intimately yours. For larger sizes than above, or special media like metal or wood I still use selected professional labs. Outside prints will take longer because I inspect all work before shipping.
You can purchase the prints alone and mat or frame them yourself, or have me mat them for you. Matting work is done using white gloves and acid-free materials that avoid damaging the images, and are always shipped in clear protective envelopes inside of crush-proof packaging. Prints are typically signed on the back, and mailed in crush-resistant tubes. Mated using 4 ply acid-free mats to help make it affordable. You can request 8+ ply mats at optional cost and delay.
