Exploring the World Through the Lens: Choosing the Right Type of Photography for You

Photography is not just a form of art; it's a way of seeing the world. It's an expression, a documentation, a story-telling medium that is as diverse as the individuals who wield the camera. From the spontaneous snaps of street photography to the meticulous compositions of landscape shots, each type of photography offers a unique perspective and requires different skills.

We're on a mission to make it easier and more affordable for everyone to have significant art. Art that's massive. Made by real artists. Something that is unique. Artwork that matters to you.

It was a water photo that drew me in, of course. A snow-covered rock up on Minnesota’s North Shore, sun peeking through icicles, wave movement, sea smoke, the gorgeous clouds of sunrise…Minneapolis photographer Scott Youmans captured magic in that moment, and shared it with us all.
