Portrait photo of Phil Crawshay, a VAST photographer artist creating very high resolution fine art photos of landscapes
Phil Crawshay

Looking Glass Falls is a picturesque waterfall located in the Pisgah National Forest of western North Carolina, USA. The waterfall is located on the roadside of US 276, which connects Brevard and the Blue Ridge Parkway.

The waterfall is surrounded by a rugged, natural setting of granite rock formations and dense forests. The waterfall's name comes from the way the water glistens like a "looking glass" in the sunlight.

During the winter months, the falls often freeze over, creating an even more spectacular and unique sight. It was during one such winter that I captured this large format photograph of the falls, with ice forming over many of the rocks, making it a very difficult place to get to in such weather.

To create this piece, I utilized a variety of advanced techniques, including long exposure to create the silky texture of the water, multi-bracketed exposures to capture the full range of tones and colors, and multiple image tiles joined together to create an exceptionally high-resolution capture.

The result is a breathtaking photograph that perfectly captures the essence of Looking Glass Falls in all its winter glory. The rugged rock formations, the cascading water, and the intricate details of the ice formations are all rendered in exquisite detail and stunning clarity.

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.
