Walking Among Giants

1,707 MEGAPIXEL VAST PHOTO
Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, Haute-Savoie, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France

Portrait photo of David Meaux, a VAST photographer creating extremely high resolution photographs
David Meaux

“Walking Among Giants” has special meaning to me, representing peace, tranquility, and symbiotic existence. The silver birch, a common tree native to Europe and parts of Asia, is an upright member of ecological communities providing open canopies for mosses, grasses, and flowering plants to grow, which in turn attract insects. Birch woodlands are also home to several different species of birds. Not only do I love this ecological side, but I also love the contrast of the bright bark with the dark greenery commonly found behind it and the way the argentine leaves flutter in glistening sunlight as the wind blows through stands and groves.
I spent months searching for a stand of silver birch trees that were relatively straight and still had their bright bark. As the trees mature, they lose their white appearance and become a darker, rougher gray. To capture the peacefulness of this grove in Chamonix, I decided to go out on an overcast day with very soft light and use a more muted color palette with a shallower depth of field, causing the background to blur softly into various tones of green. I chose to have only a select few of the trees be in focus to add to the sense of tranquility by reducing the chaos of the details in the background. I also wanted to show the macrocosm that lives within this grove by capturing an ultra-high level of detail and what could be considered hundreds of macrophotographs within the larger frame. Peering into the details you can see ants walking along the bark of the giant birch trees, the coarse texture of the lichens, the individual strands of the tiny clumps of moss, and the droplets of dew on the grass. It is an image that imbues a room with tranquility while providing intrigue with what one might find hidden in the details.

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.
