The pigment ink print is made on Epson glossy paper and sealed with a durable, UV-protective varnish. It’s mounted on 3mm Dibond aluminum for a sleek, flat, non-reflective finish—ideal for large formats and all lighting conditions.
Frames are handcrafted by an artisan-woodworker and custom-designed specifically for Jonathan’s work. The outer wooden frame "floats" with a 1/4” gap around the print and mounts flush to the wall using a French cleat system. See our Printing/Framing page for more information.

Bridalveil Falls, Telluride, Colorado
This series explores how we perceive well-known landscapes through emotion and memory rather than literal representation. By presenting minimal black-and-white images, I offer a new perspective that encourages viewers to look closely and fill in what’s missing—mirroring how each scene gradually revealed itself to me in the dark.
Captured in Telluride after a late-spring snowfall, this image of Bridalveil Falls reveals the renewed power of the cascade as it thundered down the canyon. I positioned myself across the valley just after the warm light had dissipated, allowing the upper falls to glow against the backdrop of jagged, snow-dusted peaks. The stark contrast between the dark rock, the early spring greenery, and the vertical ribbon of water created a scene that felt almost otherworldly—like an alpine cathedral carved by time and nature. This photograph captures both the majesty and the serenity of the San Juan Mountains, a moment of stillness after the storm, where every element seemed to come together in perfect harmony.

Waterfalls
Denver-based artist Jonathan Knight captures waterfalls across California, Oregon, Washington, and Colorado in a moody, minimalist style. Photographed shortly after sunset, his black-and-white images emphasize the shape of the water against darkened landscapes, using low contrast to highlight the natural beauty of each cascade. Knight describes the project as focusing on "the figure of the waterfall against negative space," turning the flowing water into the central subject. His nighttime hikes often involved solitary treks through forests, illuminated only by a headlamp, where he occasionally encountered wildlife like elk or deer. Prints from the series are available on his website, and the full collection can be viewed online.
