One issue with shooting the Scottswood Road luminarias or, really, any small objects on the ground, is that they look positively miniscule when you shoot them from above.  The way to solve this issue is to get low.  And, since luminarias are a foot tall at most, this means getting really, really, really low.  Like lying-down-on-the-ground-in-the-gutter kind of low.  (So low that you have to start balancing your camera on the ground because your tripod can’t get low enough).

I had my girlfriend watching out for traffic–a must any time you’re lying down in the road to take a picture–and tried to ignore the things poking me in the side and the pool of water I was lying in.  The result is this spectacular photo.  Frankly, for this image, I might have tolerated being run over.

What size photo do you recommend getting?

When purchasing photos, we recommend that you get the largest size that will fit both your budget and your wall. One large piece tends to be more striking than three smaller pieces.

All new photos are printed exclusively on Kodak Professional Endura Metallic paper. Sale priced items may be printed on other stock.

What type of frames do you offer?

We offer only one type of frame. A half inch, black metal frame (give or take a 1/8 inch) that looks exactly like the one surrounding the images on this website. All frames are custom made and come standard with acid-free mattes and non-glare glass.
