The Power of Print: Les Picker

"For me a print is something tactile, something tangible, something my clients could tell me that really touched me, and when i hear that then i feel a sense of satisfaction and the work I've done has had an impact." A short video on why Les Picker prints his images and why he uses Moab Paper.

Learn about why Les Picker prints his photographs and uses Moab Paper for his fine art prints. “I print because that is really the culmination of my artistic vision. Until I see my image on a fine art paper, I feel it is incomplete.” Les is a very successful photographer, photographing for National Geographic publications and many other magazines and newspapers.
