Bull Elk buy in a Meadow

There are few animals in North America that are more beautiful to watch than the Elk species. This photo would be perfect for the home or office of a lover of the outdoors and wildlife.

All of my Fine Art Prints us archival ink and a variety of acid-free fine art papers from the best brands in the business to create lasting works of art that will be enjoyed for decades. To ensure the value of my work, I limit sales of an image to 100 prints. I can also have work printed on canvas or metal and it can also be mounted or framed. *Please inquire before ordering for pricing on these options.

Q: "So why are your prints so much more compared to some others on Etsy?"
A: That's a great question and there are many factors.

1) the printing service I use, it is one of the best fine art photography printing and developing shops in the country. You end up paying a little bit of premium but the difference is noticeable.

2) The material I use when printing. As mentioned all of the prints use acid-free fine art papers and archival ink. These are more expensive than your typical lustre/gloss print, but the difference is stunning and meets museum/gallery standards that will last decades if cared for properly.

3) Equipment is expensive. I consider myself a professional at my craft, therefore I buy professional grade equipment that is capable of producing the stunning, high-quality images that people expect for a large print hanging in their home or office.

4) My time. I would guess an average photo on here took me an average of 10 hours to capture and produce into a final deliverable product. Between driving to and from a location, I then usually need to hike into an area, set up to take the photo/photos. I Then need to walk out, driving back, sitting down at the computer and uploading the hundreds if not thousands of photos I just took, I then sort through them and edit them. Once this is complete I usually have about 20-100 images I will send to friends and I will ask them to pick their favorite 5-10 photos Usually there will be a clear consensus on two or three of these and those are the ones I will offer for printing. I then need to order the prints and take them to the post office for delivery.

I hope that answers some of buy your questions and explains much of the process for getting these images to customers in the highest quality. THANK YOU!
