Guardian of Holbrook

from $35.00

As dawn breaks over the Wigwam Motel, a 1956 Buick Special stands guard. This dramatic, low-angle portrait captures the powerful character of the classic automobile against a moody, atmospheric sky. The soft, post-rain light from an overnight storm makes the turquoise paint extra saturated and gleams across its chrome fins and the puddles in the parking lot, transforming the machine into a heroic sculpture.

A signature piece from the "Automobile Archaeology" chapter of "The Great American Roadtrip" collection, this print is a testament to the heroic character of classic American cars.

Print & Medium

This photograph is defined by the deep, saturated turquoise of the car and the soft, reflective "gleam" from the post-rain light. The goal is to make that color and the chrome fins feel rich and three-dimensional against the moody sky. A fully matte paper would dull this vibrant, wet look.

Therefore, my premium paper choice is the Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta Satin. Its subtle satin-gloss finish is renowned for rendering deep, rich colors and beautiful, subtle highlights. It will perfectly capture the gleam of the wet car, making the saturated turquoise and chrome pop with a lifelike, cinematic quality.

"Guardian of Holbrook" is available in sizes up to 24x30 inches. Please contact me directly for custom sizes, framing, or other medium requests.
