The clear blue sky above contrasts the earthy tones of the desert below, enhancing the sense of openness and expansiveness.

The photograph beautifully showcases the natural textures and contours of the desert, highlighting its rugged beauty and timeless allure. The absence of human presence emphasises the untouched and pristine nature of the landscape, inviting viewers to appreciate its raw and unspoiled beauty.

This image serves as a testament to the vastness and quiet grandeur of the Negev Desert, capturing a moment of serene tranquillity amidst the arid wilderness. It invites contemplation on the profound beauty and resilience of nature in its most austere and awe-inspiring form, inspiring a sense of awe and inspiration in the audience.

Our ready-to-hang canvas prints are created using a specialty printer that carefully lays pigment inks down onto archival-quality fine art canvas material.

Our canvas material has a delightfully matte finish that looks spectacular in any lighting conditions while retaining maximum vibrancy and contrast. Click here to learn more.

Printed onto heavyweight, 100% acid-free fine art canvas to preserve color-accuracy and longevity

Created using materials and methods that exceed the rigorous technical standards required to achieve the prized "giclée" industry rating

Designed to meet the most demanding standards for color-permanence set by leading museums

VAST Print™

A VAST Print™ represents the pinnacle of the photographic medium. Each print is a true photograph created specifically for you using light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom with the industry's highest precision exposure technique. Your print is then sealed with a shine-enhancing protective glossy coating*, adhered to a sturdy aluminum composite backing, and finished in one of two ready-to-hang formats:

  • Frameless floating display: A hidden mounting brace on the rear gracefully "floats" the print off the wall for a sleek, modern look.
  • Framed display: The print is mounted inside one of our handcrafted 100% wood frames with a decorative separation between the print and the frame so that the print appears to be floating within the frame, providing depth and elegance to the finished photo.

*Note: a non-glossy, satin matte coating is alternatively available on request.
