About Meticulous Photography
It starts with multi-image integration, optimized dynamic range and carefully crafted special effects. It ends with images that move into a unique realm between photography and illustration. At a distance, they are photographs. As you move in closer, the image becomes more like an illustration.
About Immersive Graphics
Brian Kurowski (aka BK) is a self-described music and nature lover with ears, eyes and an appreciation for the unconventional, the unlikely and the quirky. A lifelong mechanical tinkerer, designer drafter and pastime doodler he combines intentional precision and mindless whimsy to create drawings, often with no premeditated outcome.
About Media & Materials
Gallery grade media in canvas, metal and fine-art paper is assembled with precise fit and finish. Canvas is mounted on solid wood stretcher bars, with or without a floater frame. Metal prints include an inset frame on the back for hanging. Coldpress fine-art paper is archival grade, acid-free, 100% cotton rag inkjet paper.
About Multi-Panel Prints
Dividing images into 2 or 3 separate parts printed on separate panels, then hanging them next to one another is an effective display method. There is also a cost benefit in some cases where the cost of shipping 2 or 3 smaller panels is less than the cost of shipping a single image.
Room Lighting
Often overlooked but essential for optimum viewing of your displayed prints, this guide points out the basic considerations in finding the best locations. The presence of windows and other light sources in the room can make or break the visibility of the prints. Different media behaves differently in various lighting conditions. The guide is a viewable and downloadable PDF file.
