When I originally photographed this windmill I lit it like I do all of my subjects, but when I was finished with the image I didn’t really like it. Two years later when we were making my new website, I needed a background image. Looking through images I ran across the original files of this windmill. Windmills are such iconic structures that I decided to revisit this image as a silhouette. I’m glad I did!
In my more than twenty-five years of being a commercial photographer I have seen images printed on almost every single substrate imaginable. And in that time I have never seen prints that look as stunning as these aluminum prints. They come alive in a way that I did not think possible. As one gallery owner I showed these to exclaimed, “It is like looking out a window!” They are truly unique in the way they shine when well lighted. So when you buy one of these prints, please make sure to light them generously!
