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
I photographed Monument Valley from the overlook at the valley's edge, using the large boulders in the foreground to frame the Mittens and Merrick Butte on the valley floor below. This elevated perspective shows the scale of these formations—they look massive from the valley floor, but from up here you can see how they rise from the flat desert plain, remnants of what was once a continuous plateau eroded away over millions of years.
The late afternoon light is crucial for Monument Valley. Morning light hits the formations from the east, but afternoon light comes from the west, illuminating the faces that overlook the valley and creating that warm glow on the Navajo sandstone. The shadows lengthen, emphasizing the vertical relief and the layered geology visible in the butte walls.
I composed this to show the relationship between the weathered foreground rocks and the iconic buttes in the distance, using the boulders to create a natural frame that draws your eye to the main formations. The challenge was balancing exposure across a scene with bright sunlit sandstone and deep shadows in the foreground rocks.
Monument Valley is Navajo Tribal Park land, and these formations have cultural and spiritual significance beyond their visual drama. They're not just geological features—they're part of a living landscape with deep meaning to the Diné people.
The layered composition and warm light emphasize the monumentality and geological character of the formations.

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.
