Description

A DRAMATIC FRAMED PHOTO OF THE BELOVED ISLANDER FERRY!

Island photographer Jeff Serusa captures nautical and scenic life on Martha's Vineyard. His best-known image, "Seasmoke," features the Islander sailing into Vineyard Haven Harbor on a January morning when the temperature was only 4 degrees. Jeff has captured the clouds of opaque smoke rising from the chilly waters and given the moment a dreamlike feel. The finished size of the image is 41" x 54" and it is signed by the Captain of the Islander.

Jeff shoots and prints all his own work. He works with a Mamiya RZ 67, a medium format film camera, as well as a Sinar 4x5 large format film camera. He later scans the film into a digital format to make a large scale giclee print. The process allows him to enlarge his photographs to a significant size as well as print them archivally and color correct. Each edition of giclee is limited and numbered.
