Fine Art Prints

I am releasing a selection of my work as fine art prints. These limited edition, large format prints are printed using the finest materials and focused on the highest quality prints.

This work was created by myself including all post-production and printing. The magic of digital photography allows an artist to manage the complete production of a photographic print from visualization during creation, through post-production, and the creation of the print. The artistic vision can be maintained through the entire process, which results in print as close to the original visualization as possible.  Needless to say, these prints are produced with the highest possible quality assurance. No print get my signature unless I’m completely satisfied with the results.

My prints are being released in the following sizes:

• 20″ x 30″ in editions of 10
• 40″ x 60″ in editions of 5
• Future larger edition in very small editions (size not yet determined)

Each print has a 2″ border and is signed and numbered by myself on the border in the front and on the back. As well, each print has a Certificate of Authenticity, which includes UV security fibers and a uniquely numbered holographic emblem. A matching numbered holographic emblem is also attached to the back of the print.

I have currently released a set of six prints from my Antarctica body of work, called “Life in the Extreme,”  in 20″ x 30″ format. I will be releasing more as I go through the process of selecting and printing more of my work.

Description

Life in Antarctica is concentrated in the waters, and few animals exist outside of the ocean. Seals and penguins will go on land to breed, but do not live there. Petrels are one of the only flying birds to survive in this extreme environment. There are not many of them, and it is difficult to capture them in a photograph.

I wanted to capture the vast openness of this extreme landscape and show the tenacity of life that exists here. Matte paper and non-reflective glass were selected to remove visual barriers between my work and the viewer. It is intended to express both what I saw in Antarctica and how it feels to be there.

Description

Icebergs are large but very temporary things in Antarctica. Ancient ice breaks off from the Antarctica glaciers and begins an ocean journey. Worn by weather and waves, icebergs change shape, size, and even turn over. There are very transitory sculptures of nature.

This is a very large and very old iceberg that has survived for quite some time in the Antarctic waters.

Description

Seals are another animal that lives in the sea, but comes onto land to breed, rest, or sometimes just to take a nap. As with penguins, seals do not view humans has a predator and are inclined to ignore us. This fellow seems to be dreaming peaceable as we travel near it in a zodiac.

Description

Through wind, waves, and weather icebergs become amazing sculptures of nature. As well, since they are semi-transparent, they also glow with the most amazing shades of cyan (or blue or aqua, there was a strong debate among the photographers on this trip). The result can be a beautiful display of colour and light as has been captured in this photograph.

Description

Penguins are fascinating animals. They are birds that do not fly but are fast and graceful in the water. On land, they are ungainly and not very quick. Since they have no predators that walk on land, they completely ignore human visitors.  This chinstrap penguin is going about its business with a rather defiant attitude that caught my attention.

Description

Penguins transform themselves from humorous, ungainly creatures on land to graceful, fast swimmers in the water. Like birds, they fly underwater. Here we have three penguins moving from graceless to graceful in a single move.  Three separate penguins are in three separate stages of this transformation at the same time.
