Beyond the Bend (Digital Print)
On occasion, you underestimate the day ahead. On the day that I visited this beautiful hut, I both underestimated the journey to get there and back, as well as how incredibly beautiful the hut would be. Spending the night here was one of the most beautiful experiences I’ve had in New Zealand. I was completely alone aside from a circus of Kea that stayed with me through the whole night. Light fog, soft light, and the comforting squawks of talkative Kea affirmed that the New Zealand backcountry is like no other.

This is a digital print. When you purchase this file, you will not receive a physical print. Instead, you will receive a downloadable file for this photo that you can then use at any print shop of your choice. Additionally, this grants you the right to print this photo and have it in your home.
By purchasing this digital print you are helping me afford to do what I love most, spend time outside photographing and telling stories about some of the most compelling places on earth.
For all digital prints, I am happy to recommend a print lab based on your location. I have researched quite a few options around the Americas, Europe, and Oceania, and I’d be happy to send you basic information to get started.

Photo Printing Instructions:
The choice of what paper to use for a print, and what print lab to go through, is a very personal one. I’ll include an explanation of some primary paper choices, as well as the paper that I would choose for this photo.
Glossy: This paper type is what most people think of when they think of photo paper. It has the quality of being vibrant, high contrast, and smooth, but also highly reflective. Glossy paper is best chosen for locations that don’t receive excessive light, as the light will reflect off of the photo and make it hard to see and enjoy.
Matte: Matte paper is best described as the opposite of glossy paper. It is generally thick, long lasting, and non-reflective. It is also low contrast in most cases, and has a tendency to remove some saturation and sharpness, leading to muted blacks and softened colors.
Luster: This choice of paper is somewhere in between matte and glossy. It is still thick and long lasting, but it also retains some light sensitivity, lots of contrast, and lots of sharpness. It is the choice I would most often recommend for photos as it fits in most spaces and retains the natural qualities of most photos.
Metallic: Metallic paper is a sibling to glossy paper with the addition of a metallic sheen or coat. This coat causes the photo to become increasingly contrasty, with a near 3D or HDR look. I do not ever use this paper type as I don’t believe it typically suits my photos, but you sure can!
My Recommendation: For this photo, I believe luster is the best paper choice. Using luster will maintain the vibrance and contrast that help to give the scene its depth, while maintaining its dreamy, painterly look.
