Photo(s!) of the Day- “The Perch” Series of Three Metallic Prints

Perch Series Framing

From "The Perch Series"

Having found a lab who caters to professional photographers and who does an amazing job with metallic prints, I wanted to highlight one of my favorite metallic print sets in today’s post.

The Perch Series, three prints of a single bird I came across in San Francisco’s Botanical Gardens, look absolutely stunning on metallic paper. As mentioned in previous posts, metallic paper has been described as “chrome on paper” as it brings out an almost three-dimensional quality in a photograph. 

I have framed these three beautiful prints up in three handmade, handmilled blue frames by David Arnold of DA Custom Frames. All three prints are available in my online gallery in sizes anywhere from 4×4 all the way up to 30×30 as well as available individually. Check out my online gallery for many more fine art metallic and photographic prints, as well as my custom services like framing and gallery wraps.

Going to a Good Home- “Dogwood”

Well, anyone that has seen my business cards, avatar, banner for shows, etc. etc. knows how much I love Dogwood trees. I love how the flower of the tree looks both delicate and strong at the same time and how the beautiful colors of each flower play off of one another so perfectly.

Dogwood” was taken at Cheekwood Botanical Gardens here in the Nashville, TN area. Cheekwood is a beautiful place to visit any time of year but is especially so in late Spring when all of flowers and foliage are out in their full glory.

I love the depth of field of this photo as it’s something I’m always playing around with; the flower in the front being very crisp and detailed and the one in the back being out of focus yet still discernable. This is one of those photos that I will always turn to as one of my favorites no matter how many I take.

It is with great pleasure that “Dogwood” is going to a good home, framed up and matted in a beautiful black wood frame. As a note, this print is also going to be on display as part of the Love,Juca silent auction and sale in Spring Hill, TN starting this week, through November 6th.

This limited edition print is available in my online gallery, along with others. Please feel free to check it out!
