Ironically captured from the frosty banks of Windsor, Canada, 'Motown' is a tribute to the enduring beauty of the Detroit skyline. This 445-megapixel image, taken in extreme -20 degrees conditions, presents the city's architectural splendor as seen from across the border, underlining the interconnected narratives of these neighboring cities. The crisp, cold air after a storm creates a crystal-clear tableau, enhancing the fine details and silhouettes of Detroit's buildings against a wintery sky.
Despite the chill that pervades the atmosphere, there is a warmth to the lights twinkling across the icy river, a testament to the city's vibrant life that withstands the harsh Michigan winters.

The result is a photograph that not only depicts a city but also tells a story of resilience, both human and architectural, against the elements.
Large Format Photography: A Cold yet Captivating Canvas
Large format photography's prowess is fully realized in 'Motown'. Each megapixel of the 445 serves to draw the viewer deeper into the scene, allowing one to appreciate the interplay of light and shadow across the frozen tableau. The large format captures a moment in time with exceptional clarity, making it an exquisite addition to any collection.

The acrylic's glossy surface works to enhance the reflection of the city's lights on the ice-bound river, creating an effect that is both striking and immersive.
