An Amazing Print from NM Fine Art!

If you know me, you know that I don’t endorse any sort of products or companies unless I am honestly impressed with them. Well, the folks over at NM Fine Art (https://nmfa.io/) recently produced an amazing acrylic print of mine, and I couldn’t be happier with the way it turned out. I put together a small video to quickly show the print and talk about my first impressions on it!

These acrylic prints are made in a cleanroom and made to perfection. They are printed on a Metallic Photo Paper that is custom made, and all ICC profiles are custom built as well. NMFA runs new color profiles and color checks every week to ensure the colors are always accurate. Once the photo is printed, it is mounted to crystal clear adhesive and then mounted directly to 1/8th inch acrylic that is UV protected. Prints are finished off by adding a 1/16th inch acrylic on the back to protect the print and add more rigidity.

The 2018 Lower East Rift Zone Eruption Imagery

On May 4 of 2018, a 6.9 magnitude earthquake triggered a series of events within the Kilauea Volcano that lead to an eruption of 24 fissures within the Lower East Rift Zone. These fissures created massive lava flows that swept through the Leilani Estates area and beyond during the next three months, forever changing the landscape and lives of those who lived there. During my trips out to he Island of Hawai’i, these were some of the strongest images in which I captured via land, air and sea to tell the story of the eruption.
