Japanese Maple Tree in Peak Fall Color at Portland Japanese Garden

The Japanese maple tree at Portland Japanese Garden is easily one of the most recognizable trees in the Pacific Northwest. When you see it in peak fall color, you can understand why it's possibly the most photographed trees in the US.

On my first visit, the tree was still in transition, and while I did photograph an image titled Dragonfly, showcasing that transition, I wanted to make sure I photographed the tree in full peak. There were some early oranges, but still a decent amount of greens. Five days later, I returned to find it completely transformed. The leaves had turned a brilliant red and orange. The entire tree was glowing as if lit from within. It felt like a tree on fire!

What made this moment even more compelling was the ground beneath it. From what I learned, the garden is carefully maintained. I lucked out, finding fallen leaves scattered across the scene before being removed. That little bit of "clutter" added nice texture and enhanced the natural beauty of the composition! This image captures that fleeting peak of autumn. Timing worked out perfectly, as a wind storm took most of the leaves off the tree the next day!

HD Acrylic Prints

Signature Series Acrylic Prints (Ready to Hang)

If you’re looking for luxury and quality, then choosing arcylic for your artwork will certainly make it stand out! Details from the image emerge from the acrylic in an almost HD-like appearance due due to the transparency layer that is infused with iridium particles and is encapsulated in a layer suspended between the white poly surface and Acrylic. I also offer upgrades to TruLife acrylic and both Lumachrome and Ultra HD acrylic papers.. The final product is finished with a recessed float mount that allows for easy hanging without the need of an external frame creating a modern gallery look that is perfect for any home or office. Additionally, Italian hand-made ROMA frames can be added to any acrylic piece.

Chromaluxe Metal Prints

Signature Series Chromaluxe Metal Prints (Ready to Hang)

Using a method called dye sublimation, Chromaluxe is my choice for metal prints. Chromaluxe metal prints are created by taking an archival fine art print and infusing it into an aluminum sheet, creating a much more durable and visually stunning product than printing directly to aluminum like other metal print methods. Surprisingly light-weight, Chromaluxe metal prints are resistant to scratching while having that shiny, high gloss look that makes an image pop! Larson Juhl and box framed Chromaluxe metal prints are available upon request.

Signature Series Frames (Ready to Hang)

While all of my mounted print styles come ready to hang without the need of an external frame, sometimes collectors want that extra touch of elegance. For that reason, I offer ROMA frames on all of my acrylic, metal and canvas prints. Plaque mount prints can also be framed with Larson Juhl frames. Standard styles include the Tabacchino line, but other ROMA lines are available on request.
