Fan Pier Park offers one of the most iconic views of Boston, where the old wooden piers rising from the bay add character to the skyline. This ultra-high-resolution panorama captures the essence of the city on a dramatic summer evening, just before sunset. The carefully composed image required precise timing and patience, ensuring no passing boats interrupted the tranquil scene.

Thunderstorm clouds loom over the city, creating a moody atmosphere, while distant lightning danced across the sky during the shot. Moments later, the storm arrived, chasing us from the location, but not before this stunning image was completed.

The photo highlights Boston's diverse architecture, from the historic wharfs to the sleek towers of the financial district. The interplay of soft light reflecting off the buildings and the rippling water below adds depth and vibrancy, making this image a striking representation of the city’s dynamic character and coastal charm.

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.

Produced using a specialty, large-format fine art printer operating at 300ppi resolution—the gold standard for sharpness

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

Handmade by award-winning master printmakers with over 4 decades of experience

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.
