Below: Each Chromogenic (C) print image undergoes a meticulous multi-step wet bath development process on Fuji Flex Silver Gelatin large-format paper. After inspection for perfection, I sign and number each print. The image is then laminated in Museum Acrylic and a custom hardwood frame hand built for mountain the image and hanging. The art "floats" off the wall for a striking presentation.
Why Compete?
I’ve always sought to distinguish myself through continuous learning and the challenge of professional competition. The journey has included its share of setbacks, but each one has been a catalyst for growth—sharpening my eye for composition, refining my technical and artistic precision. In the end, critiques and judging allows me to create better art, both out of the camera and physically where the manufacturing and presentation is also judged in competition. The end result is a finer product for your living spaces and something that makes me different.
