This VASTphoto represents a very suggestive small part of a beautiful wood that is located a few minutes from my house, in the small mountain village of Valgioie, located in the Piedmont region in the North West of the Italian Alps.
I took advantage of a few rainy days, long awaited after four months of absolute drought and wind, to be able to immortalize, with a very high resolution photo, this part of the undergrowth where there are many birches and young pines, which share the territory with huge boulders present since the last glaciation and which have become real natural monuments.
To make this photo I took many photos with a macro lens using the focus stacking technique, so as to have both the foreground and background parts in perfect focus, so that you can enjoy the view of the finest details of the forest and the trees. and on their trunks, than on the rocks, than on the grass.
You will also notice that, as a light rain was falling, everything was wet (trees, foliage and ground) and this also increased the contrasts and natural colors of the scene (I applied very little post-production to the photo, it was already all right so at the time of the shooting the scene). The breeze present during the rain made the soaked leaves move delicately, so that you will see in the photo the same immortalized in their movement.

Our photographic prints are created using a specialty, large-format fine art printer designed to produce archival, museum-grade prints. They are true "chromogenic" prints: light-sensitive paper exposed in a darkroom using state-of-the-art lasers to produce the sharpest possible image. Click on the icons below to learn more or click here to explore further.
Our photographic prints are available in one of two finishes: glossy and lustre. Glossy prints have a rich, silky saturation and are great for environments where the lighting and reflections have been carefully thought through. Lustre prints have a bright, sparkle-like finish that diffuses reflections and are therefore more versatile for environments where the lighting and reflections are less under your control.
Your print comes with two certificates of authenticity hand-signed by the artist and the printmaker: one that you will affix to the finished piece and one that remains standalone. Additionally, your print's provenance is tracked and verified using state-of-the-art digital technology. Learn more.
Our acrylic glass displays are ready-to-hang works of art that contain one of our photographic prints sealed between flame-polished acrylic glass and an aluminum backing. A hidden mounting brace on the rear causes the display to gracefully "float" off the wall for a sleek, modern frameless look that complements nearly any decor style.
