Pento Looking Down, Laya, Bhutan 2011

I first met Pento at a party in her family home when she was three years old.  She had an engaging presence for a small child and I photographed her against a stack of rice sacks. A few years later, I saw her again with her aunty Kinley in a yak camp at 15,000 feet near the border of Lunana, and again photographed her.  In 2011 I was camping in a yak pasture above Laya and saw this beautiful young teenager.  She gave me a shy look and I realized it was Pento! It seems that no matter where I go in the Bhutanese highlands, I run into Pento.

PHOTO PRINTS
Prints are on Hahnemuhle heavyweight (315 gsm) 100% archival cotton “Photo Rag Baryta” paper, using archival inks and archival spray coating. They have a 200-year life expectancy before any deterioration of the print will be observed when stored, handled, and displayed under archival conditions.

CANVAS PRINTS
What is often called “Gallery Wrap Canvas” is a fine art inkjet (Giclee) print on canvas, with printed edges to wrap around a wooden stretcher frame, like a painting. With canvas prints, your print image is still the same size, but given a "wrap effect" around the edges to account for the thickness of the stretcher. Canvas can be rolled and shipped with no effect to the print. Your local framing shop should be able to mount the canvas to stretchers at a fraction of the cost of traditional framing, making for an overall more economical way to get fine art on your wall. The canvas is printed to wrap around a 1-inch stretcher (1.5 inches on larger sizes). Specifications will be provided with your order. Feel free to contact us if you need guidance with your canvas order.
