It's wild what a MetalPrint can do for an image! And we love to see them not only coming through the lab, but especially out in their final displays and homes. Recently, we had the pleasure of printing the MetalPrints for a select group of wildlife photographers to be exhibited in Santa Cruz. The Wild Lens Magazine hosts an annual photo contest which curates this amazing gallery of images, and this year as a thank you for the prints, they hosted a Bay Photo appreciation party so we were able to see the final work. Have a look through the gallery (and then keep scrolling for even more Bay Photo MetalPrints in their element!).
The winning photos were carefully selected by a panel of judges, and printed on High Gloss MetalPrints with Float Mount Hangers.

"I’ve always loved the look and feel of infused aluminum prints; they have a brilliance and depth that is unparalleled! Additionally, they are virtually indestructible; waterproof, shatterproof, weather resistant, and are fade resistant for up to 200 years!"
