Portrait photo of Chris Collacott, a VAST photographer artist creating very high resolution fine art panoramic landscape photos
Chris Collacott

Death Valley has its name for a reason. It is a stiflingly extreme place – which only made me more excited to photograph it!

On the day I captured this VAST photo, by the time the sun had risen over the mountain range to the east, it was already 39 degrees Celsius. I had attempted to shoot the previous evening however, not only was it too hot, but trying to climb up sand dunes at that temperature was impossible.

Capturing sand dunes may seem like an easy task when it comes to finding the right composition, but it can be very deceiving. Once you peak one dune, you think "it will look better over the next dune", and the endless hunt begins. It can take hours or even days to find the right composition that feels artistically compelling.

Knowing the amount of time finding the right composition takes, I started my hike as soon as there was enough light to see the dunes in front of me. As the sky slowly brightened, I hunted. I finally found the ideal spot just before the sun rose and was able to be in the right place at the right time with the right light, to capture this ultra-high-resolution VAST photo.

Canvas print

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. The canvas is then stretched around a 1.5-inch-deep wood support structure to provide depth and elegance. 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
Optionally accompanied by your choice of elegant floater frame available in a variety of trims

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.
