First Light on Denali

138 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Stony Pass, Denali National Park, Alaska

We had arrived at Stony Pass Overlook much earlier in the morning to shoot the mountain in moonlight. As the sun rose above the horizon it began to paint Denali in various hues of orange and pinks. During our week in Denali National Park we had 6 day where the mountain was visible. This was about the most beautiful sunrise we saw.

The vast majority of visitors to Denali never get to experience a sunrise or sunset because the buses don't run at those times. Only the brave soul that is willing to spend the night in the tundra with the Alaskan Brown Bears or photographers with a Professional Photographer's Pass can be in the park at those times of day. We were blessed to have been awarded a Professional Photographer's Pass in Aug. of 2017.

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.
