The Watcher - Cesere Brothers

When you take photography underwater you have to choose if you are going to shoot wide angle or macro because you can not change your set up once your diving. This dive we were all set up to shoot macro because there was some very cool shrimp we knew about in the area. Our only problem is that this turtle really liked John and kept coming up to him to try and sit in his lap! There was no way to ignore this encounter so John finally decided to take some macro shots of the turtle's face. It turns out that its eye revealed some beauty that we didn't expect and an intricacy that you do not normally see from a wider turtle shot. I love how you can almost see into this turtles soul.

Float vs Euro Mount Explained

Both of our aluminum mounting options have a modern feel and look "frame-less" from the front. There is no need for additional framing, they arrive in your hands, ready to hang.

EURO MOUNT

Euro Mount: This option is frame-less when viewed from straight on but has a frame to edge on the back that is visible from the side that is about 1 1/2 inches thick. We use a double metal frame for added support. Default euro mount color is black but is available in silver as well. Please let us know if you would like the silver option. Euro mounts are usually recommended for larger images but they work well for all sizes. In our galleries, most pieces 12 x 18 and above are displayed with euro mounts.

FLOAT MOUNT

Float Mount: This option looks like it is literally "floating" about a half inch off of the wall. There is a hanger on the back which you can use to hang the image with a nail or picture hanger. Float mounts are usually recommended for smaller sized images but can also work well for most sizes. At our galleries, most pieces 11x14 and smaller are shown with float mounts.

The vibrant look comes from ambient light reflecting off of the aluminum and the ink at the same time which results in the most luminescent art you will ever see. The images are so brilliant that people often ask if there are lights behind them! To top it off, the dye-infused aluminum process has unprecedented archival characteristics that will enable your piece to be radiant for the next 150 years.

Both options look amazing, let us know if you have any questions. We would love to help!
