The Ural Owl is a wood owl of Eastern Europe. Similar to the Barred Owl of North America, it is a silent hunter that is primarily active at night, but is often seen during the day as well. This photo highlights the soft fringe in the feathers, which dampens the sound of air when in flight.

Photographed at The Avian Conservation Center & Center for Birds of Prey, Charleston SC, 2023.

—Printing Options

Giclee printing provides higher image detail than traditional photographic printing. This is my most recommended product for most of my images. Get your own frame after purchase to match your interior, or I can work with you on custom framing.

Using seven dye-based inks, Giclee Prints offer vibrant color reproduction and enhanced image clarity. I choose to use Matted paper, and believe that provides a superior look that enhances my art. This printing comes in unmounted and mounted options.

Single Weight Matboard: Mounting your print on 1/8'“ matboard not only gives the print extra support, but it also helps preserve the value of the print over time.

Unmounted: The cheapest option, with a lot of flexibility in terms of what frame you will buy on your own. A fine art giclee print will last years with no fading if properly encased in a frame.

Acrylic Printing: This product features a specially designed mount frame that allows a photo to float off of the wall, and its superb image quality is a natural conversation starter. The acrylic leaves a glassy effect, enhancing bright highlights that I find gravitating in landscapes featuring water, the sky, and mountains.

Canvas Printing: The classic wall mount. No frame necessary. Mounting materials are included. This is my most popular choice for those just getting into collecting art.
