4x5" and 4x10" large format film, and Ultra HD digital, waiting days for the right light. An award winning, prominent landscape photographer of the American West. After my BA I became a master printer for a National Geographic photographer and his two galleries. I now and for the past 10 years, print all of my own work. I create custom printer to paper profiles for my limited edition, archival pigment prints, on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin Fine Art Paper. Museum grade acrylic, face-mounted metallic prints are also available, utilizing archival pigment inks. I typically display the Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin at outdoor art shows. While the acrylic prints look spectacular with controlled overhead lighting indoors, I find them too reflective outdoors and distract the viewer from observing the art. I owe much of my printmaking and show success to knowing what sheen will accentuate my images best for their intended viewing location. Editions range: 10 to 250 dependent on image profoundness.
