Luxury Photography Prints

The American Southwest is one of the most photographed regions on earth — and one of the easiest to photograph badly. The scale overwhelms, the light is extreme, the color is so saturated it looks artificial on screen. Getting it right requires shooting at the edges of the day when the sun is low and the canyon walls catch side light that reveals texture and depth invisible at high noon. Eddie Jongas has made multiple trips through Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico specifically for this collection.

The slot canyons of Page, Arizona — where beams of light penetrate narrow sandstone corridors and illuminate dust particles into something that looks more like a special effect than geology — appear throughout this collection. The Horseshoe Bend of the Colorado River, where the canyon drops 1,000 feet to the river below in a perfect curve. The hoodoo formations of Bryce Canyon glowing orange in the first light of morning. Desert landscapes that look abstract until you realize the scale, then become something else entirely.

These Southwest photography prints are produced on TruLife acrylic-mounted and metal surfaces — the acrylic in particular brings extraordinary color depth to the reds, oranges, and purples of desert sandstone. All are signed limited editions with Certificate of Authenticity. Free US shipping. For the abstract and canyon photography where geology becomes pure form, see also the Abstract Photography collection.
