About the Photograph
By using a telephoto lens, I created this image by isolating and compressing distant hills in Val d’Orcia. As fog rolled across the landscape after sunrise, I focused on the way each layer of hills and land emerged and disappeared, creating a rhythm and separation through tone rather than detail.
Across the landscape, you'll find silhouettes of cypress trees that reinforce a sense of depth. The fog acts almost like negative space, allowing each hilltop to stand alone without visually cluttering the image.
I created Tuscan Layers to be less about a specific location in the Val d'Orcia, but more about the patterns and atmosphere of the morning. It works beautifully as both a small print or large statement piece where the subtle gradations between layers become more pronounced, allowing the composition to feel almost abstract from a distance.

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.
Italy Collection
From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the dramatic peaks of the Dolomites, this collection is an exploration of Italy’s landscapes at their most atmospheric. Early mornings, soft fog, coastal light and timeless villages all come together in images designed to be lived with.
