New Turkey Key #1

Everglades National Park, Florida

I made this image about ten years ago in the Everglades National Park. I was using a custom size back for my view camera that was 5x8 inches and Fuji Velvia 50 film. the best part of this story is, I was on this trip with Clyde Butcher and Jeff Ripple. We each split up and did our own thing all being drawn to different spots. This scene was screaming my name, so I set up to capture the image. With camera on tripod and shutter release in hand I was ready to click the shutter when I feel a tap on my shoulder. Clyde had come up behind me and asked what I was photographing. I excitedly explained to him my vision for this image. he shook his head and gave me a hmm. We each see the world differently. Now the best part of the story, a couple years later, I entered this image in an Everglades National Park photo competition. I was fortunate to win first place with this image. To my surprise Clyde was the Judge, to his surprise the anonymous image he chose to win first was the one he shook his head at while I was making it. We still get a laugh out of it today. I have been extremely fortunate to have Clyde as a mentor and a friend all of these years! Photo © copyright by John Brady.

Loose Print

Loose prints are available on high quality paper, printed to the very high standards by the artist. They will have approximately a two inch reveal where the image will be signed and labeled. The dimensions will be to the outside of the paper meaning the actual image size will be smaller than the paper size. They can be matted, mounted and framed by your local framer. All images will be cropped by the artist to fit the dimension.

Select a print size:

Matted and Mounted

My matted and mounted images are adhered to an archival backer board, typically cold mounted with Coda Cold Mount 1 adhesive. An archival white mat is then adhered over top of the image with a 2.5in border and then a 1/2in paper border, allowing space for signature and title on the image, creating the look of a double border. The dimensions are to the outside of the matt and backer, not the image which will be approximately 10in smaller in each direction. They will be ready to frame by your local framer. All images will be cropped by the artist to fit the dimension.

My Print Options We are proud to offer our images in several styles and mounts.  The available print options are shown beneath the large display of each image.  Just click on the style and size you want. I am very particular about using the highest quality materials that will provide a beautiful long lasting piece of art.

Silver Gelatin Darkroom Prints These are hand made prints made by Joh Brady in his darkroom. These are the highest quality images made from Large Format negatives. All prints are made on Ilford multi grade fiber paper. Each print is selenium toned and made using archival standards.

Displaying Photographic Artwork It is important that you display any fine art photography in a well-lit space.   You are reviewing images on back-lit screens and if they are mounted and displayed in dimly lit areas, you could be disappointed in the result.

Special Requests If there is something you are interested in that is not shown, such as an unusual size or type of print that is not listed,  a large order of multiple prints or anything else, just drop us a note and we can work together to come up with a solution.

Shipping Your artwork will be carefully packed and could require signature upon receipt.  We ask that you immediately inspect the artwork for any damage that may have occurred in shipping.

Corporate work I can offer significant quantity discounts for large offices and corporate buildings and will work with you through that process. Nothing changes the feel and mood of an office like fine art photography! Just contact me for pricing.
