Back in 2011, just after the Cosmopolitan opened for business, I captured what I thought was a fantastic image similar to this one, using a Nikon D7000 and executing a crude panoramic shot with a standard tripod. The result was a “huge” (not really) 3-image composition that was sort of impressive for a while.
Fast-forward to 2016 and I now had a Nikon D810 and panoramic photo gear. This balcony, with its bird’s-eye view of the fountain at Bellagio, Caesars Palace, Paris, and most every other iconic structure on the strip, became my highest priority for a return shoot.
The price for the balcony room had tripled in the five years since the first shot, but it was well worth it. The unmatched detail and vantage point of the shot makes this a top-five photo in my portfolio for sure. Multiple images were taken and blended such that the most interesting fountain conditions and billboard displays could be included in this ultra-high-resolution VAST photo of the Las Vegas Strip.

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.
