PRODUCT QUESTIONS
These are all photos! I promise you, I’m creating these painterly photos with my signature camera movement techniques. I’ve been practicing and developing this style for years.
Sometimes! If you have purchased my work at shows or galleries in the 2010s or 2020s, you may have a matted or framed print that is 12 x 16 or 18 x 24. I may be able to replicate this sizing & treatment for you, depending on my travel schedule. Please reach out to me at kelly <<at>> ekovisions.com if you'd like to get one of these.
These also will periodically be offered through special events on the website, so don't forget to sign up for my VIP club here so you'll know when these events happen!
I offer both Open Edition and Limited Edition photographs, they are individually tagged. If you can't figure it out, drop me a line and I can let you know. Limited Editions are 250 per image, regardless of size or substrate... this allows me to work with designers and home owners who need flexibility in their sizing & presentation.
Photographic prints on paper use a professional-grade watercolor paper: depending on size, Epson Velvet Fine Art, Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308, or Hahnemuhle Torchon paper. All are a thicker, archival paper with watercolor texture that compliments the painterly feel of the photographs.
If you are an advanced collector and would like specifics for your piece (or requests), don't hesistate to contact me at kelly <<at>> ekovisions.com.
Canvas, metals, and any framed items are ready to hang.
Prints are high-quality archival photographs on watercolor paper, ready to frame your way.
If you're looking at Metals or Canvas, please reach out as I can provide some additional choices that are not on my website.

If you are looking at smaller framed prints, I can only offer the choices provided on the website. If you'd like a different frame, you can buy a print and have it framed locally.
Yes! Premium Aluminum prints on Chromaluxe are available, and they are gorgeous! These have a glossy finish, and are light weight, water resistant: great in outdoor spaces. Find them listed as "Metal" in image options.
As of March 2023 I use both an Epson 3880 Professional Printer and a Canon image ProGraf 4100 for things I print in-house.
I also call upon high quality, professional photo labs to print much of my work which allows me to keep the train moving while I'm on the road.
You tell me what you want, I bet I can figure it out. I have worked with printing studios that go up to 60" wide on the short side. We can also split a single image into a a diptych or triptych to expand it to fill your beautiful home. If you have a request or space you are trying to fill, I’d love to take on the challenge!

HOW DO YOU DO THIS?
Short Answer: I move my camera like a wizard
I move my camera like a wizard. You can see
some of this magic for yourself in the video here. If you ever see me in real life, ask me for a demonstration.
Have at it, it’s fun!
Not a chance. My work is done with the camera, creating swaths of color (painting pixels, if you will) when I press the shutter, by panning, swooping, jiggling, and shaking the camera. All the painterly effects in the photo are created entirely in the camera in a single shot. Just blurring everything in Photoshop (or a phone app) would suck, and I’d like to spend less time at my computer, thanks.
Like all photographers these days, I have to use my computer a bit, and put the photo through some minor adjustment (contrast, exposure, white balance, dust removal….) to make it look great when I print it. This is the boring part. The action happens when I’m on location, moving around with my camera while onlookers wonder exactly what I am up to.
Yes! I move my camera like a wizard to create painterly images. 100%
photography, created by a human. Me.
This is such a popular question, and I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t matter. Do you ask a painter what kind of paint they use? I’m an artist, who happens to work a camera. The driving force behind the art is me, my vision, and my skills, not the camera. If you are an aspiring (or experienced) artist, please stop worrying about what equipment you have and get out there, practice, and play with your medium.
If you still gotta know: as of July 2022, I am using a Canon 6D mostly with two lenses, a 24-105 and 70-300 Zoom lens. A variable neutral density filter is also key, as it allows to me to slow down the shutter speed enough to capture the movement in broad daylight; otherwise my ethereal beach shots at mid-day wouldn’t be possible. It’s a simple, small kit that I love because it is lightweight and portable, allowing me to stay nimble which I find critical to capturing the quickly changing light of sunsets.
Nope, all my work is done handheld. I find it is better for my creativity to be able to play with the camera, and to be unencumbered by the tripod so that I can move fast. Especially if I’m chasing sand and shallows in low tides, it’s great to be able to move along quickly to find the best light.
This totally happened by accident, or perhaps fate. I was working in Boston at a consultant job that was as stressful and time-consuming as you imagine that to be. Nature Photography was my joy, but I was unable to do it a whole lot because whenever it was daylight, I’d be working. But taking photographs was my escape from “real life” and I had to find a way to scratch that itch while working my job.
One night, I started taking photos of some flower bouquets I had from the farmers market in Union Square. It was a basement apartment, and not well lit enough to handhold that camera and get clear shots. But y’all, I hate lighting and tripods and all that.
So I leaned into the slow shutter speed the darkness required. Swooping and swinging my camera while clicking the shutter started to produce interesting results. I’d get stripes and swirls of color depending on the flowers I had.
I did this over a few months late at night for a creative release from my more nerdy job. One of those original experiments is still in my collection, Spring Haze.
I was loving the technique, but it didn’t immediately translate to outdoor photography. But one day I was on a short hike around Walden Pond, playing with my camera, and I might have jumped up and down a bit when I finally got an image that truly worked. That image Enlightenment, was the moment when I knew this would become my thing, and it starred on my business cards for years.
Since then, I’ve spent far more than that legendary 10,000 hours shooting nearly exclusively in this style for over a decade now. My primary subjects are sunsets (especially over Lake Champlain in Vermont, at home in Burlington) and beaches, from Florida to Cape Cod to California. It’s all experimentation, practice, and a
lot of Marie Kondo-ing the subpar images from my collection.
I’m completely self-taught.. when I started doing this style in the 2000s, this wasn’t a thing. I just started playing with my camera, and made it up as I’ve gone along. It’s worked out pretty well, though.
The bulk of my portfolio comes from two general places: the shores of Lake Champlain, in Burlington, VT overlooking the Adirondacks; and various beaches all over Cape Cod, including Marconi, Provincetown, First Encounter near Eastham, and Herring Cove.
If you’d like to know the location of a specific photo, feel free to ask. Usually I know. There’s a sprinkling of other locations in my portfolio, including Ecola State Park along the Oregon Coast, Olympic National Park, Northeast Florida, California (including images Sunshine, Golden, Joy, and La Jolla) and Venice, Italy.

My work is part of the permanent collection at University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, Vermont. You can currently find at least two pieces in the phlebotomy lab on the 2nd level of the Main Pavilion, and a few others in the building. My artwork also adorns the walls of wellness centers and rehabilitation facilities because of the calm it brings to the space.
Potentially, yes. If you’d like me to create this style of work on your own land, or specific beaches, I may be able to do this depending on the location. This will be a premium service, as it is will involve travel and likely multiple days of on-site shooting. Note all my work is created in-camera; I do not take existing photographs and alter them to be in this style—I shoot the landscapes myself.
