Behind the Photograph

Some photographs are more than just pretty pictures. They hold memories, tell stories, and remind us of special experiences.

During a recent trip to Moab for my kids' senior trip, we had the opportunity to enjoy several RZR rides through the beautiful red rock country. Our host took us on some incredible adventures, showing us scenery that you simply can't appreciate from the road.

During one of our rides, I captured this beautiful sunset overlooking the canyon and Colorado River. The colors, the rugged landscape, and the peaceful glow of the setting sun made it a photograph I knew I wanted to do something special with.

What made this location even more special was learning that our host's family had visited this exact spot just a few months earlier and had enjoyed a beautiful sunset of their own. It made the photograph that much more meaningful, knowing it captured a place that already held a special memory for them. As a small way of showing our gratitude to our host for sharing his time and making our trip memorable, we decided to have the photograph professionally printed and framed as a gift. It was a simple gesture, but one that turned a memory from our trip into something his family could enjoy long after we had gone home.

Your Memories, Turned Into Artwork

This is one of the things I love about photography. A beautiful image doesn't have to stay on a computer or tucked away on a hard drive. It can become a piece of artwork displayed in someone's home or office, or even a thoughtful, one-of-a-kind gift.

Through my Artwork on Demand collection, you can choose from my selection of original landscape, nature, and scenic photography, professionally printed in a variety of sizes to fit your space.

Have a special place in Colorado that you'd love to see hanging on your wall? Maybe it's a favorite mountain view, a memorable vacation spot, or a place that holds special meaning to your family. I'd love to work with you to photograph that location and turn it into a beautiful piece of custom artwork.

Whether you choose something from my existing collection or have a special Colorado location in mind, let's create something beautiful for your walls!

Enjoy the finished photograph below, along with a few more snapshots from our trip!

Behind the Image

This image was captured with my Nikon D750 + 85mm prime lens; ISO 160 and an aperture of f/9 to capture the details of the landscape.

To create the final panoramic image, I photographed the scene vertically using three different exposures (HDR bracketing). I then combined the images in Adobe Lightroom, blending the exposures and stitching the photographs together to create one panoramic photograph.

The result is a wide, detailed image that captures the beautiful colors of the sunset and the sweeping landscape surrounding the Colorado River.
