Manarola is one of the most famous and photographed villages in Italy. It is one of the five villages in the northwestern Italian region of Liguria known collectively as Cinque Terre, or “five lands.” Together with their coastline and surrounding hills they form Cinque Terre National Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
I’ve been wanting to photograph this village for quite some time. Scheduling and COVID-19 pandemic limitations finally allowed me to travel to the region and capture some VAST photos. After traveling by train from outside the park, I scouted all the viewing areas I had researched in advance and settled on the one that would give me the greatest viewpoint for the light of the coming evening - and what a great evening it turned out to be.
That evening I was blessed with some amazing light, rough seas, and a gorgeous sunset, all for making some great images. While I had to constantly compensate for the high winds and carefully execute the series of images I needed, it was amazing to watch the light change and make Manarola glow in the evening hours. After several attempts of working through the series, I had finally captured all the short and long exposures I needed to reflect the beautiful sharp details in the village as well as the blurred movement of the rough seas.

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.
