Northern Lights Over Kirkjufell
Kirkjufell, Iceland
f/2.8 | 30s | 16mm | ISO 640
I visited this location 4 times in 1 day. Without realizing it, we had rented an Airbnb that was neighboring this popular photography location in Iceland. It was our last day and I was eager to capture this scene bathed in beautiful light. Unfortunately, both sunrise and sunset were duds, but we were in Iceland at the end of September (the beginning of northern lights season). I arrived to this location just after sunset and sat in my car for a while, thinking it was too early to see the northern lights (and anxious not to go outside and sit in the cold). After 15 minutes, I peeked out the window and I was glad I did! The northern lights were shining brightly even with the last rays of sunlight still in the sky. I quickly jumped out of the car and set up my shot. I shot a few before cloudy skies quickly moved and obscured any more chance at seeing northern lights. As I sat and waited to see if they would show up again, lots of people arrived, having missed the perfect placement of light over the mountain, Kirkjufell.

Print Only
Print Only is by far the cheapest way to have your selection printed. I use the highest quality photo paper with a semi-gloss scratch-resistant finish and UV protectant spray. Each print is signed and numbered on the back and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Canvas Wrap
Price increase - $
Canvas wraps are a popular way to have images displayed. Not only does it give the image pop, but it also adds a unique canvas texture that makes the image look like a work of art. In this format, the image is directly printed on a canvas that is then stretched over a wooden frame. The edges of the image are mirrored onto the sides of the canvas, so no part of the image is lost in the wrap. It comes ready to mount with a French cleat hanging system.
Professional Mount
Only available in 5x7, 8x10, 11x14, and 16x20, these images come ready to hang or frame. They are composed of the image mounted to a thin piece of wood with a beveled edge that is then attached to a mat board. This product also includes an image description and artist information printed on the back. (No hanging system included)
Metal Print
Price increase - $$$
This format features a dye-sublimation ink transfer to a 1/16” sheet of aluminum. Printing in this style adds extra depth, clarity, and richness of color to the print. It also adds a super gloss finish to the image that makes it stand out when viewed from any angle.
The product comes ready to hang with a concealed French cleat hanger to give a floating effect when mounted on a wall.
Wood Mount
Price increase - $
In this format, the image is printed on the highest-quality photo paper with a UV protecting semi-gloss finish. The image is then mounted to a 3/8” thick piece of wood that is beveled on the edges. It is finished off with being attached to a 3/4” thick hidden French cleat hanging system. This format gives the art dimension as it makes it look like the photo is floating off the wall.
