"Light of Creation
Portfolio"
Copyright Jeff Ball 2005
Museum Portfolio One
A limited edition of twenty-five (24
left)
unique
16"x20"
hand-crafted portfolios
presenting the beauty of
Creation
to fine art collectors. |
Words cannot describe what this portfolio represents. It is simply my
heart and soul. The beauty of God's great creation has captured my spirit
and has now been realized in the photographic print. The portfolio is of
the highest quality that I can produce. All of my studies over the past
two years on photographic printing have led to the creation of this portfolio.
The intensive effort to produce such quality translates into a very limited
edition to be produced. The "Light of Creation" portfolio will only be
available in a very limited edition of twenty-five pieces.
|
The portfolio includes:
-
a beautiful hand crafted custom case made by
the same artisans who crafted works for the Ansel Adams Trust, Edward Weston, and Alain
Briot. The case has an inner dimension of 16"x20".
-
twenty-three fine art photographs printed on
13"x19" custom profiled 100% cotton rag Moab Entrada paper with Epson Ultrachrome inks
on the Epson 7600 wide format printer. Each print is separated by
interleaving tissue
-
each print is hand-signed in the lower right
corner and numbered in the lower left corner
-
three 16"x20" museum archival double mats
permitting the
collector to frame up to three prints at the same time
-

exclusively for this portfolio

The portfolio in pictures:
The hand crafted 16"x20" case is a joy to behold. It really is a piece of
art unto itself. |
Each portfolio comes with a custom made
tray to hold the Deluxe DVD and "Artist Statement and Photographic Notes" booklet
written exclusively for this portfolio. There are 3 16"x20" museum quality
double mats in off-white to mat and frame any 3 prints you desire.
Changing the photographs in the mats is very simple.
|
Each portfolio comes with cotton gloves to
assist the fine art collector in maintaining the artwork in top condition
over the years. The prints are additionally protected by
interleaving tissue between each individual print. |
Each print is made on custom profiled Moab
Entrada 300gsm weight paper. This paper is very sturdy and a joy to
hold. The Milky Way is presented in dramatic black and white as well
as stunning color prints. The prints are on 13"x19" paper and held
neatly in a custom cut foam core tray. All materials are 100%
archival, ensuring long-term enjoyment. |
The portfolio includes an Extended version of the Light of
Creation DVD.
The extended DVD includes
-
an extended version of the portfolio presentation
featuring a second soundtrack of over 9 minutes by Chris Worth titled "Voices of
Angels." The extended version includes photographs of the astrophotography
equipment used in capturing the photographs in the portfolio
-
a narrative describing the structure of Galaxies.
-
the highly acclaimed "Light of Creation" presentation
as featured in the original DVD release.
The extended DVD is an exclusive component to the "Light of Creation Portfolio"
Thanks for your support of Fine
Art Photography of Earth and Sky!!!
I utilized Alain Briot's Portfolio CD in the creation of this portfolio. I
highly recommend this resource to anyone seeking to create a high quality
portfolio that will last for years to come.
