Monument Valley In Winter, Not The Postcard Version
Monument Valley, on the Navajo Nation border of Utah and Arizona, is almost always photographed under a hot, cloudless desert sky — the version that shows up on postcards and in old Western films. It looks completely different in winter, when snow settles into the gaps between the buttes and the sandstone`s usual deep orange cools down into something closer to rust against white ground. The formations themselves don`t change, but everything around them does, which shifts how the whole valley reads in a photograph. "Hymn Of Liberty" was shot during exactly that kind of winter light, when the temperature swings are sharp enough that snow rarely lasts more than a few days on the valley floor before it`s gone again.Awards:

Print Information:
Alexander Vershinin individually produces limited edition prints to museum-grade standards, on world-leading photographic paper. The
Fujiflex Crystal Archive is an ultra-high-gloss, museum-grade photographic paper, with archival properties spanning over 70 years.
Alexander also offers the trademarked printing and mounting process
Lumachrome Gallery Deluxe, with archival properties spanning over 120 years.
Both processes deliver exceptional sharpness, contrast, and color reproduction.
Concentrated light hits the print, is held briefly in the silver crystals of the emulsion, and reflects back out — producing an image with real visual depth, almost as if it were lit from within.
The photograph is mounted to a rigid dibond backing plate and finished under Lexan or Perspex — a super-transparent, non-shattering, anti-glare acrylic. This acrylic layer is completely colorless and shows the print at its best.
It also blocks 98% of UV light and holds up well against weather, temperature, and humidity changes, which is a large part of what gives these pieces their long archival life. For a more classic, finished look, custom wooden
Roma frames are also available.
Each print is delivered with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, noting the work's title, edition number, and Alexander's original signature — a lasting record of provenance for your collection.
Whichever you choose — an unframed print rolled in a hard tube, an acrylic face-mounted float, or a finished framed piece — you're getting a real, collectible piece of fine art photography, produced to the highest standard available.
Delivery Information:
