Experience the Beauty of Nature in Every Frame
I believe my images are not complete until they are brought to life in the printed form. When I’m in the field creating images, I always envision the final print, carefully composing each frame and considering its ultimate impact. Back at the computer, I meticulously develop my images with the printed piece in mind, ensuring every detail contributes to the overall beauty and emotional resonance of the artwork. Each photograph is a journey from capture to print, crafted to provide a timeless piece of art that you can cherish for years to come. When you invest in a piece of my photography, you're not just buying an image; you're bringing a slice of nature's serenity into your home or workspace. Bringing the the beauty and tranquility of nature into your home or workspace is good for the mind, body and soul.
I offer my images in three options: Traditional Fine Art Prints, Trulife Acrylic Float Mounted Prints and Canvas. More info on each medium below.
All of my images are offered as limited editions of 100, once an images sells 100 copies, that’s it. Each print will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and a short story about the image.

Signature Mount
One of the defining qualities of this presentation is its sense of intimacy, there’s no glass separating you from the artwork. Each image is produced on genuine Ilford black and white silver-halide photographic paper, exposed with precision light and developed through a traditional chemical process. This time-honored method yields true photographic depth, luminous highlights, and rich, natural blacks.
After developing, the artwork is protected with a UV-resistant matte laminate that guards against fading and eliminates glare, allowing every subtle texture and tonal shift to be experienced without distraction.
The protected print is then mounted to a rigid aluminum Dibond panel, creating a lightweight but stable surface that won’t warp or bow over time. This combination offers a clean, modern display that enhances both clarity and longevity.
Framing Options
Unframed – A sleek, gallery-style presentation that appears to float off the wall
Framed – Finished with a slim black float frame that adds definition and a polished edge while maintaining the minimalist aesthetic
Both versions are ready to hang and work beautifully in homes, offices, or exhibition spaces.
Key Benefits
No glass — experience the image directly, without reflections or barriers
Archival materials for long-term display
Matte finish reduces glare and enhances tonal subtlety
Durable and lightweight—ideal for large-format pieces
Available framed or unframed to suit your space and style
My Perspective
This is my preferred way to present my work. It strikes a perfect balance between modern simplicity and long-term preservation. The matte surface enhances the emotional depth of each image without distraction, and the optional float frame adds just the right amount of visual structure. Whether framed or unframed, the Signature Mount lets the photograph breathe while offering a timeless, ready-to-hang solution I feel proud to offer collectors.
Fine Art Prints
Traditional Fine Art Prints are one of my favorite ways to display my work. There’s something timeless about the look and feel of a framed print. I personally print each image up to 11x14 in my studio, inspecting, signing, and preparing every piece before it’s shipped. These smaller editions are printed on Red River Paper’s Palo Duro SoftGloss Rag—a museum-grade, 100% cotton fine art paper made in Texas. The surface has a soft gloss sheen with a subtle texture that enhances detail and contrast, giving the image a depth reminiscent of traditional darkroom prints.
For editions 16x20 and larger, I partner with an industry-leading fine art photo lab that specializes in black and white printing. These prints are created on genuine light-sensitive Ilford silver halide paper using a traditional darkroom process. A precision laser exposes the image onto the paper, which is then developed, fixed, and washed—producing true photographic prints with exceptional tonal depth, luminous highlights, and rich, natural blacks. The result is a museum-quality print that preserves the timeless character of black and white photography while ensuring long-term archival stability.
Each image includes at least a one-inch border for matting and framing. I hand-sign each print in the lower right corner and note the edition number on the lower left.
I offer my Fine Art Prints in three options:
Loose Prints: Ideal for those who prefer to work with a local framer or already have a specific framing vision.
Ready to Frame: Prints that come professionally matted in standard frame sizes, making it easy to find a clean, modern frame off the shelf.
Framed: A complete, ready-to-hang piece finished with a gallery-style black frame and TruLife Acrylic glazing, offering UV protection and a non-glare finish for optimal clarity.
Please note that all fine art papers are delicate and should only be handled by the edges and with clean cotton gloves. Oils from your fingers can damage the surface. If you purchase a loose print, I recommend taking it directly to your framer for professional handling.
My Perspective
I offer these options—Print Only, Matted, and Framed—to give collectors flexibility in how they experience each piece. Some enjoy customizing their own frame, while others prefer something ready to display right away. Whether small or large, every print receives the same care and attention to detail. The smaller prints reflect my hands-on craftsmanship, and the larger editions benefit from the precision and consistency of one of the best photographic printing processes available today.

Acrylic Face Mount Prints
Ilford B&W Prints Face-Mounted Behind Matte Acrylic
Select images are available as Acrylic Face Mount Prints—created through the same traditional silver-halide process used in my Fine Art Prints, then face-mounted behind matte acrylic for a clean, modern presentation.
Ilford Black & White Paper
Each piece is digitally exposed onto Ilford silver halide black and white photo paper, then developed using a traditional chemical process. This method produces rich blacks, glowing highlights, and smooth tonal transitions—ideal for capturing the subtleties of light, shadow, and texture in black and white photography.
Matte Acrylic Finish
The finished print is face-mounted behind matte acrylic glass and backed with aluminum for durability. The matte surface significantly reduces reflections and glare, allowing the details and depth of the image to shine in a variety of lighting conditions. A hidden float-mount system gives the piece a clean, frameless appearance—ready to hang right out of the box.
While these arrive ready to hang with a clean, frameless presentation, a float frame can be added to create a more traditional look. This optional upgrade enhances the visual presence of the piece while maintaining the modern aesthetic.

Ilford silver halide black and white paper
Matte acrylic finish for reduced glare and distraction
Frameless, gallery-style presentation with float mount

My Perspective
This presentation format allows my black and white images to speak with quiet confidence. The matte finish complements the subtle textures and tonal range in my work, inviting deeper reflection without distraction. It’s modern, understated, and beautifully suited for any space where the art is meant to breathe.
