About the Photo: Dreaming of Tuscany
One of the most magical mornings of my entire photography career happened on my very first morning in Tuscany. I chose to stay in the Val d'Orcia area, known for so many iconic locations, including this scene overlooking Podere Belvedere. This famous old farmhouse (agriturismo) is set amongst the vineyards, hills and valleys that make up this beautiful region. I was lucky enough to be here on this fantastic morning as heavy fog drifted in and out of the valleys, over hilltops and briefly revealing details in the landscape below before shrouding them again and repeating the process. As the sun came up, the fog was flooded with warm sunrise light, creating the magical scene you see before you.

Fine Art Print Styles
I offer a number of print styles for my fine art nature photography prints. Below are the different styles you can choose from as you consider your art purchase. All formats with the exception of archival paper prints come ready to hang as is without any need for framing. However, optional external framing can be added if desired. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have regarding these print styles. For more detailed information on my print styles, please visit my fine art prints page.
Signature Series Acrylic Prints (Ready to Hang)
If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then choosing arcylic for your artwork will certainly make it stand out! Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic. I also offer upgrades to TruLife acrylic and both Lumachrome and Ultra HD acrylic papers.. The final product is finished with a recessed float mount that allows for easy hanging without the need of an external frame creating a modern gallery look that is perfect for any home or office. Additionally, Italian hand-made ROMA frames can be added to any acrylic piece.
Signature Series Chromaluxe Metal Prints (Ready to Hang)
Using a method called dye sublimation, Chromaluxe is my choice for metal prints. Chromaluxe metal prints are created by taking an archival fine art print and infusing it into an aluminum sheet, creating a much more durable and visually stunning product than printing directly to aluminum like other metal print methods. Surprisingly light-weight, Chromaluxe metal prints are resistant to scratching while having that shiny, high gloss look that makes an image pop! Larson Juhl and box framed Chromaluxe metal prints are available upon request.
Arcival Canvas Prints (Ready to Hang)
Created with 8 color oil based inks, these giclee canvas prints are on another level compared to other canvas prints you might have seen. Many canvas prints have a lack of sharpness, but these canvas prints are some of the highest resolution, sharpest, most vibrant canvas prints possible.
Signature Series Frames (Ready to Hang)
While all of my mounted print styles come ready to hang without the need of an external frame, sometimes collectors want that extra touch of elegance. For that reason, I offer ROMA frames on all of my acrylic, metal and canvas prints. Plaque mount prints can also be framed with Larson Juhl frames. Standard styles include the Tabacchino line, but other ROMA lines are available on request.
Best Places to Take Photos in Tuscany
One of my favorite regions in Italy is Tuscany! Having spent quite a bit of time driving the roads of Tuscany, looking for both the iconic places and lesser known hidden gems, I have found some great spots. With one of the most beautiful countrysides in the world along with captivating Italian cities like Florence, Pisa, Siena and more, Tuscany is one of the best places in Italy - and that is saying a lot considering how many amazing places Italy has to offer. I have written a short guide with five of my favorite spots in Tuscany.
