Choosing art for your home can be a bit daunting. What would look good with my decor, what size fine art print should I buy? For the decor, that can be hard since so many colors look good together whether they are the same or contrast each other. What about what type of art to purchase for your home? Do you want an abstract image that is just color and pattern or Mount St. Helens with the Milky Way Galaxy?
MEMORY OF A LOCATION
Most people choose a premium fine art landscape photograph because it invokes a memory of a place they have been. After taking a trip to Mount Rainier National Park to see the wildflowers. You get home and notice a large open space on a wall and think a premium fine art print on acrylic would be perfect for that space. Then you think back to when you were at Mount Rainier in the wildflowers, therefore you would like to relive that memory.
CONNECTING WITH NATURE
For many photographers, landscape photography is a way to connect with nature and find peace and solitude in the great outdoors. It offers a chance to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and immerse oneself in the beauty and tranquility of the natural world. Through the lens of a camera, we can see the world in a new light and appreciate the intricacies and complexities of the natural world.
THERAPEUTIC BENEFITS
In addition to its aesthetic and technical benefits, landscape photography also has therapeutic benefits. Research has shown that spending time in nature can reduce stress, improve mood, and boost cognitive function. By immersing oneself in the natural world and focusing on the beauty of the landscape, photographers can reap these therapeutic benefits and improve their overall well-being. I wrote another blog post about the healing powers of nature photography.
PRESERVING THE NATURAL WORLD
Landscape photography also has a role to play in preserving the natural world. By capturing the beauty and diversity of the natural world, photographers can raise awareness of environmental issues and inspire others to take action to protect the planet. Through their images, photographers can highlight the importance of conservation and encourage people to appreciate and value the natural world.
TECHNICAL SKILL
Landscape photography requires technical skill and knowledge to create stunning images. From understanding the properties of light and how it affects a scene, to mastering composition and exposure, landscape photography challenges photographers to push their boundaries and improve their craft. But with practice and perseverance, photographers can create images that are not only beautiful but also technically sound.
The peak of a dune in Mesquite Flat Sand Dunes in Death Valley National Park. These sand dunes are right next to the road and easily accessible for everyone. The wind changes these dunes all the time which is great or photography. These dunes are named for the Mesquite tree which has a brown, leafless trunks are exposed from the wind. Limited edition print from the Abstract gallery.
CONCLUSION
Purchasing premium fine art prints can be difficult as there are many choices. Do you want the memory of the wildflowers and mountains, or the seascape from the Oregon Coast, or many other places? So many choices, so little wall space. Unless you have a giant mansion with unlimited wall space then there are more options.
The moral of the story is that having nature photography prints hanging on your walls from one of these galleries can bring that same sense of calm to you as being in nature.

Ralph Lauren Double RL ranch is located near Ridgway, Colorado. It's around 15,000 acres and as long as you stay on the road, you can drive through it. We stopped to witness the amazing Mount Sneffels and see some hay bales. Unfortunately, the elk bugling in the distance are out of the frame. This panorama fine art print captures the essence of the area. Limited edition print from the Panorama gallery.
