It's a photographic image developed directly onto a living leaf using sunlight. A negative is placed over the leaf and exposed outdoors, which fades the chlorophyll where light hits it and leaves the image behind in the leaf's natural color

Mostly elephant ear leaves. Their size, texture, and bold veining make them ideal for holding detail and contrast. Right now I'm not taking requests for other leaf types, but that may change in the future.

With proper care, a finished print should last decades. Each piece goes through a copper sulfate bath to set the color, then is pressed flat, sealed in wax, and framed to protect it from light and humidity.

Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from high humidity, just like you would with any framed artwork or photograph. The wax seal and frame do most of the protective work, but extreme conditions can still affect it over time.

Commissions typically take a 4-6 weeks from start to finish. The timeline includes preparing the leaf, the sun exposure period, and the finishing process (copper sulfate bath, pressing, waxing, and framing), each of which takes meaningful time.

A 50% deposit is required to begin your commission. The remaining 50% is due once the piece is finished and ready to ship or pick up. Payment details will be shared once you confirm your size and I've had a chance to review your photo

Yes. Portraits, pets, favorite photos, and custom designs all work well. High contrast images tend to translate best onto the leaf, but feel free to send what you have and I can advise from there.

Yes. Because each piece is made on a real leaf through a natural process, no two prints are exactly alike, even from the same image or negative.
