Hollywood Sunrise

172 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles, as the largest city in California, is such a vast metropole that its sheer size is a challenging capture to fit in one frame – unless it is a VAST photo taken at Griffith Observatory in the local Hollywood hills.

The view from Griffith Observatory upon an awakening Los Angeles is just stunning: you get views of the Central Business District (CBD), Hollywood, Beverly Hills, planes approaching Los Angeles International Airport, Santa Monica, and more. Lights in the city slowly transform with the colors of sunrise.

It is always an absolute pleasure for me to witness a big city go 'to sleep' at night or to 'wake up' in the morning. Even big cities such as Los Angeles feel somewhat calm during these special times.

A memorable treat was to hear the coyotes in Griffith Park howling during sunrise as I created this exceptionally high resolution VAST photo.

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.
