A Collection of Cowboys
My very first collection of edition prints are now available.
Cowboy Print Collection is now available.
So excited to finally offer a collection of three Cowboy prints as a signed and numbered edition. My friend Steven at Imaging Arts Printing will make the prints for me. The quality of these is stunning, and I love having this collection printed right here in Charleston. Below are the artist proofs. I just got back from him last week, and I love the size and paper type so much.

It took me a while to get this first collection right, but I love every photograph here so much, and I'm so excited about what I landed on with this collection. This was such an overwhelming process, and it wasn’t something I had done before. Most of the prints I’ve made for people were simply by request and they had a specific image in mind already and I just printed it for them. Or I’ve had my Darkroom store up over the past few years, and people could buy some of the landscapes that I thought might look nice in someone’s home, but I never had much control over the quality of those. It felt like a very hands-off process. So when someone would request a one-off print of a street photograph, for example, and I had Steven print them for me, it was such an amazing experience from start to finish that I wanted to do that same thing while offering a very small and curated collection. This first collection happens to be of cowboys, all taken at the Coastal Carolina Fair over the last five years. I’ve been fascinated with the rodeo, specifically the one that comes to the fair every year. I’d love to photograph it more in-depth one day, but I’m so excited about these three that are part of this collection.
So after the help of a few amazing photographer friends, I landed on offering 20 8x10 inch editions of each and five 18x24 inch prints. The 8x10s will have two artist proofs, and the 18x24s will have one artist proof. I’ve got a lot of exciting things happening in the fall and spring next year (more on that soon), so I needed to get this figured out before all of that can happen.
