Old growth stump at HJ Andrews Forest — 20×30 black and white photograph.
I make original hand-colored photographs of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. My black and white photographs are individually printed and then hand-colored on archival watercolor paper.
The slightly vintage look and feel of hand coloring lends itself well to the Northwest landscape, whether the dreamy look of the westside forests or the starker shapes and forms of the eastern desert.
I’ve been making hand colored photos and selling them online and in galleries since 2002. Each work is original and unrepeatable; the image you see in the online gallery is of the actual hand-colored photo that you can buy. Shipping is always free in the US.
