Portrait photo of Jeff Lewis, a VAST photographer creating extremely high resolution photographs
Jeff Lewis

I grew up in LA for 20 years. At the time, I never thought much of it.

Now, each time I come back to visit, I realize just how much I took for granted, and how much I was missing. The views, the food, the beautiful weather, the culture, the opportunities, the people... much of the experience is unrivaled. It's an incredible place. I love visiting now, and explore my old stomping grounds through fresh eyes. It's not just nostalgic for me, it's deeply inspiring, like picking up where I left off with an old friend.

On this morning, the fog was just perfect in the Hollywood hills. With my meteorology background, I was able to forecast this fog a few days in advance -- that's how I knew to wake up early to hike up the hill to catch it!

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.
