To me a final print is the ultimate expression in photography and it is to that end that I photograph....while other forms such as books and social media  have a place to reach wider audiences, seeing, handling a beautiful photographic print whether silver halide or pigment ink is a joy unsurpassed in the field.  As a possession, a photographic print, just as a fine art painting ,sculpture, or drawing, is the artifact that can give years of beauty and enjoyment to your surrounding.  

I strive to produce the highest quality prints obtainable today. Pigment inks have replaced silver prints for me, as I feel they have reached a pinnacle in expression.  Using only 100% cotton baryta rag pairs by Hanemuehle and Epson 10 color printers, I am achieving color and black and white prints Ive been unbaked to produce using traditional photographic methods

At American West Workshops, we believe that photography is an art that should be accessible to everyone. That's why we started this business, to provide high-quality photography services to individuals and businesses alike.
