FINE ART PHOTOGRAPH OF THE WEEK: BANYAN TREE, O'AHU

©Kelly Fitzgerald.  Banyan Tree, O'ahu
Archival Pigment Ink Print
20" H x 24" W
Limited Edition of 5
Price: $950 USD


This Banyan Tree has become quite popular since appearing in some scenes in the TV series LOST with fans of the show.  I created the piece "Banyan Tree, O'ahu" because this ancient tree was under threat of being destroyed at one time by a developer that wanted to build a resort on the land the tree inhabited.  I'll never forget seeing the giant Banyan tree for the first time.  The sheer size of it was mind blowing.  I feel blessed to have experienced these amazing places first hand and to have had the opportunity to document them.


Works from "The Hawai'i Series" are sold as limited edition fine art photographic prints.  Whether you are a first time or seasoned art collector, investor, or dealer, Kelly Fitzgerald and her Representatives give you the opportunity to acquire remarkable artwork that will appreciate over time and give you years of enjoyment.


Professional framing is available for an additional charge.


This work was created by using an old medium format film camera and Kodak Professional Plus-X 125 Black-and-White Film.  Sadly, the 120mm film size is no longer being manufactured.  The traditional negative is scanned on a drum scanner to create a 300 megabyte digital file which serves as a vehicle for the tonal balancing, lighting, and darkening that was formerly done in the darkroom.  Once the aesthetic interpretation is realized in the computer and matched with the artist proof print created in the traditional "wet" darkroom, the image is then printed as a warmed toned archival pigment ink print.
