The Story
Cruel Summer was taken at a toy drive in Huntington Beach, right before the whole place filled up. A Ford GT had just pulled in, and with a quick ask, it was moved a few yards over to a quiet spot away from the tents, police bikes, and rows of show cars. What you see looks calm and empty, but just outside the frame was total chaos. The shot feels like summer on pause. Named after the Taylor Swift song playing that day, this piece is about grabbing a clean moment when everything around you is moving fast.
Sizing & Framing
Our Paper:
Each image is printed on 300 gsm Hot Press fine art paper, designed for exceptional photography with its smooth, acid-free, 100% cotton rag composition. The bright white surface enhances high-contrast and black-and-white images beautifully. Paired with a luxurious flat-matte finish, it enriches softly lit portraits and still-life photography, revealing their beauty. Combined with UltraChrome HD pigment ink, the result is stunning color depth, rich blacks, and superior detail retention.
Our Frames:
Crafted from solid wood, this high-quality frame is designed for durability and timeless appeal. We use gallery framing-grade plexiglass, 2.5 mm thk, to minimize glare while maintaining superior clarity and protection. Inside, a matboard, which is both acid-free and lignin-free, ensures that your artwork is preserved in optimal conditions. Each frame is meticulously packed and shipped with the utmost care, ensuring it arrives to you in pristine condition, ready for easy wall mounting.
