The Cloud Factory

243 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Sexten Dolomites, Italy

I tend to shy away from visiting places that are heavily photographed. For many years, this had been my hesitation with seeing the Dolomites... I'd seen so many photos and worried I wouldn't be able to contribute anything new. But the area looked so exceptional, and I'd heard the food was great, which is always a selling point :)

After a couple trips through other regions of the Alps, I finally convinced my brain that, yes, I was capable of stepping into well-photographed areas and still coming away with something unique. So I began to plan a trip through the Dolomites. I quickly became overwhelmed with the pure vastness of the place and the seemingly endless list of places that would take a lifetime to explore.

Tung and I did a few of the most popular treks, which we loved, but we did find some of them to be a bit overcrowded for our tastes. We realized our winning formula would be to explore places we hadn't seen too much about on social media. Suddenly, making reservations became much easier, planning became more straightforward, parking woes disappeared, the already-friendly people grew even warmer, and the already-great food became amazing. We had SUCH a wonderful time, and definitely intend to return!

As a lush mountain region, the weather was everchanging and fickle -- there were times when we couldn't see any mountains for days at a time. But all storms break eventually, as long as you're patient! This is one of the photos I was able to capture on a day that was forecast to be fully clouded in, but you never quite know unless you try, right?

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.

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

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.
