Studio Notes

Palm trees are such a familiar part of the Palm Springs landscape that I wanted this photograph to feel less like a record of them and more like the feeling of being there. Soft color, flares and washed-out California light give the palms a hazy, almost dreamlike quality, somewhere between a photograph and a summer memory.

The Refractions Collection explores a more experimental side of my photographic work through images intentionally transformed using color, light and digital manipulation. Unlike most of my photography, which stays closely rooted in what I observed, these photographs move further from the original scene to explore atmosphere, memory and perception.

DIMENSIONS & SIZES

The listed size refers to the overall print size before framing.

Print Only photographs are printed on archival fine art paper with a white border surrounding the image. The border is included within the listed paper size and is an intentional part of the Wayne Ford Studio presentation, providing visual breathing room while making the print easy to frame with or without a mat.

Print Only border widths:

• 8 × 12 Print → 0.5” white border
• 11 × 14 Print → 0.75” white border
• 16 × 24 Print → 1” white border
• 24 × 36 Print → 1” white border

Framed Prints are available in two presentation styles:

Museum Presentation

• 2” archival white mat across all sizes
• Black, White, or Oak wood frame
• A timeless gallery-style presentation that creates additional space around the photograph

Gallery Presentation

• No mat
• Photograph extends to the edge of the frame
• A clean, contemporary presentation that emphasizes the image

Because the Museum Presentation includes a 2” archival mat, the finished frame dimensions are larger than the listed print size.

Approximate outside frame dimensions:

• 8 × 12 Print → 14 × 18 Frame
• 11 × 14 Print → 17 × 20 Frame
• 16 × 24 Print → 22 × 30 Frame
• 24 × 36 Print → 30 × 42 Frame

Custom sizes may be available for select photographs. Please contact the Studio for more information.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
