There are several types of prints in our gallery, all personally made by me to a single standard of uncompromising technical and aesthetic excellence using the finest archival materials and processes.

VISION—

Rajasthani Girl, India

At every stage of the photographic process—from exposure to exhibit—my goal is to highlight the unique beauty and character of the subject. I want the viewer to see what I saw and feel what I felt when I tripped the shutter ... and, for a moment, to be so captivated by the vision that the world slows down and a new perspective is gained. If all attention is given to the subject, and I am invisible, I consider the image successful; if technique or personal "style" draws attention to me, I think it a failure. Good photography looks at the world through a lens, not a mirror. It is enough to direct the viewer's eyes, and to point at some unseen beauty.

This understanding influences how I shoot and print. In the field it leads to simpler, more evocative compositions. In printing it demands a total dedication to rendering color accurately, and mastering the technical skills required to do so. In the past this meant projection printing in a darkroom, today it means inkjet printing in a lightroom. Like the rooms they are made in, these prints are as different as night and day. A quantum leap in digital imaging has redefined the standards of collectable photography, making it possible to faithfully render every nuance of the original scene on a wide variety of archival papers and canvases. I have selected four of these that best reflect my vision, and they are described below.

VERSIONS—

Crane & Co. Museo Silver Rag

Crane’s “Silver Rag” 100% cotton fiber paper is consistently my first choice for making collectable photographic prints with archival pigmented inks. Its high D-max and superior tonal range create prints with extraordinary depth and detail, ensuring optimum accuracy in reproducing subtle hues in color work, or delicate tones in black & white. Like the double weight black & white papers I so loved in the past, it exhibits a weight and surface richness that simply exudes "excellence."

Hahnemuhle Fine Art Baryta

Hahnemuhle’s Fine Art Baryta 325 gsm is a brilliant white, high gloss, heavyweight archival paper that sets the benchmark for high color depth, large color gamut and image definition. Its extremely high D-max yields extraordinary blacks and smooth midtones that create superb results in both color and black & white. Barium sulphate in this paper’s premium inkjet coating provides the characteristic gloss that makes it a genuine replacement for the legendary Baryth papers of the past.

Hahnemuhle Bamboo Fine Art

Hahnemuhle’s new Bamboo Fine Art is the world’s first digital fine art inkjet paper made from bamboo fibers. It is a heavyweight 290 gsm media with no optical brighteners, giving it a natural white color that is particularly well suited for warm-toned color and monochrome images. It offers an extremely large color gamut with high colour density, archival color permanance, outstanding water resistance, a luxuriously soft hand, and a sustainable resource-saving production.

Epson Premium Canvas

Premium Canvas combines superior image quality with an "old world" painting look and feel that greatly enhances the artistic possibilities with appropriate images. Made from a durable 65/35 Poly-Cotton blend with a tight weave for the best photographic reproduction, it offers a pliable high resolution coating to withstand stretching without sagging, and a true archival display life.

Water-Resistant Satin Cloth

Our newest (and most unusual) print option is Satin Cloth. This feather-weight fabric creates a striking non-traditional photographic display that is perfect for a wide variety of home decor applications, at a fraction of the cost of our museum-grade archival prints. And, it doesn't require framing ... simply hang it on a pushpin or suction hook for wall or window display, or roll it up for transport or mailing to a friend.
