Fine Art Canvas Prints by Robert Sieben Photography

Biography

I have always had a passion for both the natural world and photography.  My search for images that capture the essence of beautiful scenes has sharpened my visual awareness.  It has made me slow down to observe and appreciate my surroundings, seeing much more in the process.  It has encouraged me to awaken in the middle of the night to spend hours photographing Big Sur by the light of the full moon and to get up well before sunrise to see the beauty of first light in the mountains.  I enjoy creating and sharing these special images.

I shoot with color slide film, using a medium format Contax camera for most of my images.  The 60mm by 45mm transparencies this camera requires are over three times larger than those taken with a 35 mm camera.  This enables me to print big enlargements that are sharp with excellent color reproduction of details.  The photographs are scanned on a commercial scanner, which digitalizes them, and printed by the Giclee ink jet process.

They are presented on archival canvas stretched over wood stretcher bars identical to what a painter uses.  This results in a non glare, richly textured image with the print carried around the sides.  Glass and framing is neither required nor recommended, making these large works of art decidedly more affordable.
