Japanese Garden Maple
Portland Japanese Garden, Portland, Oregon
Growing up, we always had a Japanese Maple Tree in our yard. It was just one of those trees that we all loved and felt a certain connection to. The changing colors of the leaves, the way that the top forms a beautiful canopy covering everything underneath, are all part of what makes the Japanese Maple such a unique and interesting tree.
For this reason, I have always been very interested in finding the ideal Japanese Maple Tree to photograph in the right conditions. For years I have sought out and taken single-frame, normal resolution photographs of various versions of this tree, but it wasn't until this recent trip to Oregon that I was prepared to capture an ultra-high resolution VAST photo of a beautiful Japanese Maple Tree.
In the fall of 2017, I sought out this specific tree at the Portland Japanese Garden. But this Japanese Maple has a secret.
The one we had in our yard was fairly large, easily over 12 feet tall and with branches so large you could climb on them. That is why it was so surprising when I finally found this tree, only to discover that it was no more than 3 feet high. It is deceptively small, but once you crouch down underneath, the canopy, you are treated to a beautifully perfect structure of branches and leaves.

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.
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.
