The artist
Rob has been involved with various fine art photography and painting endeavors--- including corporate product photography --for over 30 years. He has also taught classes in travel photography, digital photography techniques, and the principles of art. He believes that photography has helped his paintings and vise versa.
Ultimately the goal of his art is to achieve a pleasing composition with a wide range of tonal values and usually a mix of warm and cool colors. In other words, his objective is to produce a work that is pleasing to the eye when you see it on the wall every day.
Right now this site is about offering high quality and affordable photographs that have been made in all parts of the world. Recently he's been focusing on Texas, New Mexico and New England locations.
Photography:
His technique varies from straight shots on a tripod to long exposure and multiple exposure images. He has a Sony camera with a large, "full frame" sensor which produces high resolution pictures that are very sharp and affordable at sizes such as 20x30 inches. He prefers to print them on Aluminum, which gives them a sharp, glossy, modern look. Plus they are ready to mount on the wall without further, expensive framing cost. You just need two thin nails, a level and a tape measure.
He usually takes the Raw image into software to modify it in various ways , including expanding its dynamic range(lightening shadows etc.) and taking out distracting objects. The goal is to get a clean image with some "pop" to it. As with all art, you should mount it away from direct sunlight.

F.A.Q
What photo sizes are available and how do I order one?
The best way for me to keep quality high and prices low is to keep it simple. The 20x30 inch size allows me to use the same aspect ratio that the image has when it comes out of the camera--so there is no cropping. Its size also gives the image a big impact on your wall.
All the images are available for $295 in 20x30 on Aluminum. Aluminum is a good choice right now because it gives a modern, sharp, glossy look. And, it does not require you to invest in any expensive framing methods. All you need is a tape measure, a level and two thin nails to hang it.
To order, either call me at 978 335 6557 of email me at ramartinassoc@netscape.net with the title of the photo and I will arrange for you to send me a check. The finished photo will be mailed to your address and shipping cost is free within the continental U.S..
If you want a size other than 20x30, or a photo on gallery wrapped canvas, call me at 978 335 6557 and I can quote you a price.
