About the Photograph
I photographed Tuscan Mornings on my second ever morning in the Val d'Orcia. Every morning on that trip was defined by beautiful fog at sunrise that lasted for a number of hours and allowed me to capture so many amazing scenes. This particular scene was photographed shortly after sunrise as fog drifted slowly through the valleys of Val d’Orcia. Being down in the valley, the scene would open up then get socked in again. One moment, I could see the entire tree-lined driveway and the farmhouse of Podere Poggio Covili. The next moment I could barely see ten feet ahead. As the sun partially broke through, I took this moment to photograph the scene as the warm colors were flooding through the fog, while still leaving much of the beautiful landscape softened and partially hidden.
As a Kansas-native, I had to include the wheat fields in a photograph. They made for a great foreground that lead towards the cypress-lined drive. In the distance, the faint outline of the Podere Poggio Covili farmhouse emerges through the fog just showing its presence without pulling from the main focus.
Photographing this in a panoramic format allows the scene to unfold naturally from left to right. It gives space to the layers of fog, farmland and especially allows the trees to define much of the image. This photograph balances structure and atmosphere and makes for a versatile piece that works well in a wide range of interior spaces.

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.
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.
