Sunset Beach
Sunset Beach
Along the southeast coast of Iceland, near Mulagljufur Canyon, is found Diamond Beach. This stunning black sand beach is best known for the glacier ice pieces, ranging from huge pieces larger than a person to small shards, that have washed ashore and are where the beach’s name is derived from.
The Jökulsárlón Glacier lies directly inland of Diamond Beach, and as chunks of ice break off, they are washed into the Jökulsárlón Lagoon. A small channel connects the lagoon to the ocean. The ice moves through the channel only to be driven back onto the shore by the crashing waves.
Thanks to this, visitors can wander this truly surreal landscape of black volcanic sand covered with almost glass-clear ice. On our visit, we were fortunate enough to catch a breathtaking sunset on top of all the rest of this Icelandic beauty!
TruLife Lumachrome HD Acrylic Fine Art Prints
The highest tier of fine art prints that I offer are all original photo prints residing under TruLife acrylic glass with Lumachrome HD paper. These pieces are produced using only the best materials available to provide brilliance and longevity of the prints. Lumachrome HD is a proprietary photo paper made from resin coated photo paper with a mirror smooth high gloss finish and utilizing Transparency Color Layer Technology. After creating the fine art photographic print, it is then face mounted behind a sheet of crystal clear acrylic. The TruLife acrylic provides a scratch resistant and non reflective glass surface with 99% UV protection that still displays vibrant colors. Each piece is then finished with a deluxe museum quality Roma HD backing frame.
Ultra Vibrant Acrylic Fine Art Prints
Unlike traditional acrylic, Ultra Vibrant acrylic printing utilizes a new state-of-the-art method of printing directly on the acrylic. Due to the layering of ink on the acrylic, an almost 3D rendering is produced with incredible vibrancy. By not using the TruLife acrylic and Lumachrome HD paper, we are able to provide a cost-effective print rivaling the quality of the Lumachrome prints while providing a distinctly different rendering in comparison.
Chromaluxe Aluminum Fine Art Prints
The Chromaluxe metal print option for my photographs is created by taking a thin aluminum photo panel designed by Chromaluxe and coating it with multiple specially formulated polymer layers. The polymer provides scratch, fire, fade, and water resistance to these stunning prints while also remaining lightweight. The printing process uses dye sublimation, which infuses the printing dyes directly into the metal panel, which provides archival level quality. Metal printing infuses vibrant colors with a depth that is difficult to match with traditional paper printing.
Loose Fine Art Lustre Paper Prints
For those interested in something smaller and simpler, I have available loose, unframed paper prints available. These are printed on fine art lustre paper with a semi-gloss surface that provides a pleasant depth of colors and contrast. As these prints are provided as-is, they end up being the cheapest option available, however they are not included in the limited edition count that the acrylic and aluminum prints are part of.
