This gallery served as the proving ground for my approach and technique, where a multi-disciplined methodology allowed for adaptability and the ability to quickly maximize each setting. My use of color is guided by respect for the natural beauty placed before me, responding to the environment rather than overpowering it.
The East Coast is rich and abundant, offering deep, layered color that presents a unique challenge in post-processing. Instinct calls for restraint—often requiring only modest adjustments—because East Coast photography is remarkably close to perfection straight out of the camera. From its deepest greens to its striking white sand beaches, there is a tonal richness that feels both natural and enduring.
There is a distinct flavor that sets the Eastern beaches and inland landscapes apart from anywhere else. The culture, artistic heritage, historic preservation, and reverence for the land are deeply rooted and reflected in a value system that honors open space, architectural integrity, and time-honored traditions.
Please explore this modest yet growing collection of Eastern U.S. photography. It is my hope that it offers a colorful and authentic narration of the textures, tones, and spirit of the East Coast.
For my East Coast Collection, I recommend leaning into the softer qualities of the shoreline by presenting these works on canvas or cotton-based papers. A finish slightly above matte, paired with lighter matting and complementary frame selections, allows the subtle tones of sand and sea to remain calm and inviting without excessive contrast.
Alternatively, metal and other hard-surface presentations introduce heightened detail and visual punch, offering a more lively and vibrant interpretation of the same scenes. This approach brings energy and clarity to the imagery while preserving the character of the coast.
I do not offer print-on-demand. I believe both my work and your selections deserve a level of attention that only a traditional, hands-on process can provide.
Once you’ve identified the pieces you’re interested in, please email me with the inventory number, your desired size, and your preferred presentation. Options include paper or canvas (matted, framed, or rolled), as well as metal or other hard-surface formats (backed or bare).
Paper and canvas offer a clean, contemporary aesthetic that blends seamlessly into existing spaces, while metal and hard-surface prints deliver a bolder presence—designed to make a statement and serve as a conversation piece.
Pricing is based entirely on your selections. We will communicate directly to finalize each detail, ensuring the finished piece is a precise match rather than a “best-case” approximation. All costs will be clearly itemized in an invoice, giving you the opportunity to review, ask questions, or make adjustments prior to final approval.
Payment is required in full before order fulfillment. By placing an order, you acknowledge that all sales are final and non-refundable.
Prints are drop-shipped directly to you from the professional lab. In the rare event of marks, scratches, or production defects, I will work directly with the printer to facilitate a return or replacement. Once an order is placed, all returns and replacements are subject to the printer’s policies.
As a general reference, small paper prints typically begin at $159 (excluding shipping), while small metal prints begin at $279. Framing, matting, backing, and other presentation options are additional costs.
