Nutcracker at Sunrise

Luverne’s towering nutcracker overlooks the city at sunrise as golden morning light spreads across the surrounding fields and a textured sky, placing one of the community’s most recognizable landmarks against the landscape it calls home.

Print Options

Each photograph is available in three distinct print formats, each offering its own combination of size, paper quality, and presentation. Every print is produced by me, in-house, giving me complete quality control from the original photograph through editing, printing, and final inspection.

9 × 12 Photographic Print

Printed on quality glossy photo paper for rich color, contrast, and photographic detail. The compact 9 × 12 format is easy to display and ideal for smaller spaces, shelves, desks, or creating a collection of multiple prints.

11 × 17 Premium Print

Printed on professional-weight 300 gsm high-gloss photographic paper for rich color, deep blacks, and crisp detail. The larger 11 × 17 format provides a more substantial presentation while maintaining the smooth, polished surface and detail of a traditional photographic print.

17 × 22 Archival Fine Art Print

The largest and highest-grade presentation, produced on heavyweight premium glossy fine-art paper using archival 100-year printing for exceptional detail, color, and longevity.

Each 17 × 22 fine-art print is hand-signed by me and includes a Certificate of Authenticity.

Original Composition & Framing

Each photograph is printed to preserve its original composition and proportions rather than being stretched or unnecessarily cropped simply to fill the paper. Because every photograph has its own proportions, the white borders will vary from image to image.

The sheet sizes were selected with convenient framing in mind. The white border can be left intact and incorporated into the framed or matted presentation, or the print can be trimmed if a different or custom presentation is preferred.

From Photograph to Finished Print

I produce every print myself rather than outsourcing the work to a commercial print lab. From taking the photograph and making the final edit to preparing, printing, and inspecting the finished piece, I maintain 100% quality control from capture to finished print.

All three formats are open editions.

Shipping & Flattening

Prints are carefully protected and shipped rolled for safe delivery. After arrival, carefully unroll the print and place it image-side up on a clean, flat surface beneath clean, even weight until it relaxes flat. Once flattened, it is ready for framing or matting.
