Which size is right for your space?
When in doubt, go bigger than you think. The art, including any frame, should fill about ⅔ the width of the furniture beneath it. Sizes listed are the photograph itself; framed paper prints, with a 2" mat and frame, are about 3–5" larger in each direction.

Framed prints arrive ready to hang
Framed paper prints are matted with a 2" white mat and protected by non-glare acrylic, so the image stays clear without reflections from windows or lights. Acrylic is lighter and safer to ship than glass, and every framed print arrives with hanging hardware already attached.
MetalPrints with a float mount or frame also arrive ready to hang.

About this photograph
Apsara dancer reliefs at Angkor Wat showcase Khmer artistic mastery—intricate carved details depicting celestial dancers in elaborate costumes and graceful poses. Converting to black and white emphasizes the sculptural quality: the depth of carving, the interplay of light and shadow across the relief surface, the textural detail in stone weathered by centuries of tropical climate.
The pockmarks visible across the relief are bullet holes from the Khmer Rouge era when these ancient sculptures were used for target practice—physical scars from Cambodia's recent traumatic history layered onto artwork nearly a thousand years old. This damage adds another temporal dimension to the piece: ancient craftsmanship, colonial-era documentation, modern conflict, contemporary preservation.
Monochrome treatment removes the sandstone's warm color, focusing attention on form and detail. The contrast between deeply carved recesses and raised surfaces defines the figures' poses and elaborate ornamentation, while the weathering and damage become part of the visual narrative rather than distractions.
Black and white emphasizes sculptural detail and historical layering in these damaged Angkor Wat apsara reliefs.

About Dave
I create landscape photography for contemporary interiors where visual quality matters. My focus is dramatic environments—deserts, coastlines, forests, ancient architecture, night skies—photographed with deliberate composition and attention to craft. I'm selective about what I show. This collection represents a small percentage of what I shoot—work chosen for compositional strength and the ability to reward sustained viewing. These are images designed to live on your walls for years, not months.
