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
Pre-dawn at Portland Head Light offers that brief window when the lighthouse beacon is still operating but there's enough ambient light to see the landscape. The air was crisp with that distinctive salt-ocean smell, and I positioned myself on the rocks to frame the lighthouse against the awakening sky.
The key decision was using a long exposure to smooth the water into glass, emphasizing the stillness of early morning before wind picks up. That silky water contrasts with the jagged coastline rocks and creates a sense of calm that matches the pre-dawn atmosphere.
Portland Head Light has been operating since 1791, making it Maine's oldest lighthouse. The keeper's house with its warm window light adds a human element to the scene without competing with the lighthouse itself. The soft twilight tones—that transition between night's blues and coming sunrise—create a color palette that's distinctly different from harsh daylight shots.
The smooth water and twilight tones emphasize tranquility and timelessness.

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.
