I couldn’t wait to show off this photograph of Joel and Carissa. I photographed them in the foyer of the church before their wedding reception. The background is a stock photograph of Namibia’s Death Valley. I doubt I will ever be in the African desert with a bride, groom, and my camera gear. However, I was able to create a one of a kind fine art photograph.
Joel and Carissa live in Arizona – which of course I equate to desert. And since time is a valuable commodity and we didn’t have the chance to drive to the desert we brought it all together in Photoshop.

Joel and Carissa in Namibia's Death Valley
I need to figure out how to price this kind of work. It is cheaper than flying or driving to Death Valley – yet it does take a lot of work and skill to get this to look real. Hopefully more brides want this kind of artwork for themselves – I am having a blast creating this kind of artwork and I want to print images like these out on huge canvas.
For a photograph like this there is planning and attention to detail. And of course – if a client wants a certain location I will of course do all I can to use that location. If someone wants Paris, New York, Asia or other locations that shouldn’t be a problem.
