Creating a Fine-Art Image.

Creating a Fine-Art Print is a lot more than visiting a scenic place and taking your usual Happy Snaps. It’s an intense process. It requires detailed planning, long and often difficult journeys, high-end photographic equipment and an impeccable photographic technique. But most of all it requires the passion, love and will-power to persist in taking that unique, striking image.

Some of Boris Mar’s images were taken over a time frame of weeks, sometimes months. Repeated trips to isolated, unspoiled natural treasures, usually involving long hikes and many nights camping out. A journey in search of the true heart of Mother Nature.

The results are striking images which are a unique frozen snapshot. Difficult or impossible to reproduce. Boris Mar Fine-Art Photograph will leave a lasting impression. Wherever displayed, it will transform the environment into a source of tranquility, passion or inspiration. Make a statement with one of Boris’ many striking landscape photographs.

What is a Limited Edition Print?

A Limited Edition Print is your guarantee of owning an image that is unique and limited in reproduction.

All Images are printed in strictly limited numbers. Whenever 10% of the total number of prints are sold, a new purchase price is set. All purchased prints are titled, numbered and hand signed by Boris Mar. Once the last print in an edition is sold, there will never be another reproduction. It will not be displayed in our online gallery anymore, however it can still be enjoyed at exhibitions and conferences.

Owning a Boris Mar Limited Edition Image is your opportunity to bring Mother Nature’s treasures into your home or office, with the assurance of owning photographic art that is limited in reproduction.

Photographic Equipment

Boris Mar uses a traditional medium-format film camera. Shots are taken with a Linhof Technorama 617III on Fuji Velvia Slide Film. This is a completely mechanical camera which forces the user to perfectly master the art of photography. Its Schneider Angulon Lens captures extreme details, resulting in an artwork which gives you the impression you’re looking through a window. Images are captured on Fuji Velvia Slide Film. It has the best colour and contrast reproduction possible. However, it is extremely unforgiving when not used properly.

Next to the Linhof Technorama 617III, Boris Mar uses a range of professional Canon cameras, with a series of Canon L-lenses. This is mainly used for his urban and wildlife photography, where it’s simply impossible to use a mechanical medium-format camera.
