Paintings and sculptures are easy to define as original works of art, but what about photography? Even a darkroom print made by the hands of a master is a copy of the negative. With digital photography, the original file is an easily copied binary file, and any print represents a copy.

Large format photography offers a unique ability. When photographing with large format slide film, the original is the film itself. The resulting transparency represents the image as it was meant to be viewed by the artist, and is a truly one-of-a-kind piece of artwork. Each sheet of film is loaded into a film holder then hauled into the wilderness, accompanying the photographer every step of the way. Viewing an original large format transparency on a lightbox is a sight to behold, and one of the many reasons I’ve pursued large format photography for over a decade now. This is your opportunity to own a truly original, one-of-a-kind piece of photographic art—one that can be viewed and appreciated in person.
