Traffic Toker, Stoplight Smoker - Los Angeles, Ca
Street photography is always about opportunity and I happen to have had my camera in the passenger seat of my car after coming off a photo walk. A woman pulled up next to me at a stoplight in Hollywood, Ca. I rolled down my passenger window picked up my camera. The red light lasted just long enough so that I could capture her impatience, style and urgency all in an instant. Sometime magic stares you in the face.
Process & Materials
My Street photography is infused with the soul of Retro Polaroid memories. I make Oversized Polaroid shaped frames from Custom Aluminum DiBond. Matte, reflection-free print using a state-of-the-art, 7-color printing method. White and brighter parts of the image have a subtle sheen. With the aluminum Dibond backing, this street photography print combines high picture quality and perfect durability. Every aluminum print cones with aluminum gallery rails on the back and is ready to hang straight out of the box.
How do I hang my picture?
Depending on the product and its size, Aluminum rails are our most-used wall-mount. Depending on the size of the piece, two or four rails are attached to the back of the product.
Hanging your picture can generally be done with two screws or hooks anchored or screwed into holes in the wall. For my seller images two nails may suffice. You should always use two nails, screws, or hooks so that your picture will not slide to the side or hang crooked. All of my artworks are compatible with gallery rails, in which hooks are attached to thin nylon wires.
Aluminum Dibond is a composite material. It is 1/8 in. (3 mm) thick and has 3 layers. Two aluminum layers with a platinum white look sandwich a black polyethylene core. Matt Dessners street photography is skillfully printed on aluminum Dibond which produces a top-grade, robust print with a long lifespan. The low net weight of the material, was carefully chosen for his large formats.
