Featuring Ultra-High Resolution Photography

Born and raised in Seattle, Washington, Eric Bunch began as a young man creating imagery through sketching, painting, photography, and eventually motion picture. Always the art teacher’s favorite, he found great joy as his fellow students gathered around to watch him draw or create a photo collage, and listen as he played the piano.

Receiving his first camera at the age of twelve (a Kodak Instamatic), Eric immediately went to work photographing his family vacation. Being so excited to get his first photos from the printer, he was crushed to find that because the shutter button of his cheap plastic camera was so hard to push, all of his first pictures were blurry due to camera shake. This began a lifelong obsession with creating sharp, detailed images.

Shooting medium and large format film, Eric spent years perfecting his craft, ever seeking to better understand color, contrast, and composition. And as a late-comer to digital photography, he eventually began to recognize the benefits of a digital camera in achieving his creative ambitions. 

Today, Eric specializes in what he calls “Ultra-High Resolution Imagery.” By designing and building his own equipment, he seeks to create images with breathtaking detail. A single image can take a month or more to create using high-end cameras and computers, and laboriously pouring over every pixel until the image is exactly how he had envisioned it.  

Having traveled the world from Antarctica to Jerusalem, Brazil to Norway, or New York City to Yosemite, Eric finds the beauty of the world to be his inspiration. He sees the beauty in every detail, and his images bring those details to life.

Eric is now based in Salt Lake City, Utah. He is a recipient of the Tele Award, the ARDY Award, and a 3 time award winner of the 48 Hour Film competition, Eric has a keen eye for imagery and a talent for story telling. His photography is his “thanks” for the amazing world he has the privilege to live in.

What is “Ultra-High Resolution Imagery?” It is the process of creating one image from many. After much planning and preparation, using a high resolution camera and long focal length lenses, Eric works with a custom built rig to take many images of one scene, laboring furiously against changing light and weather. The rig allows him to move his camera incrementally across his subject, shooting in layers, and gathering as much detail as possible. 

Once the field work is complete, days and weeks are required to process the images, preparing and stitching them together to create one giant image, full of color, contrast, and detail. Every square inch of an “Ultra-High Resolution Image” is painstakingly worked over to ensure that each feature, and every element of the image is brought to life in a way that informs the greater whole. From many images comes one, a highly detail image that can be printed to enormous sizes. An Ultra-High Resolution image can often be printed up to 8 feet tall, or 10-20 feet wide without any loss of detail. They are perfect for small spaces, and especially impressive in large spaces.

The joy of viewing an Ultra-High Resolution image is being able to stand a foot away and marvel at every pebble, tree, and cloud. It’s easy to become lost in the sheer amount of detail, transporting you to that very location, as if you are viewing it with your own eyes. It is then that you see the beauty of life really is in the details.

An Ultra-High Resolution Image by Eric Bunch is meant to last a lifetime. His preferred medium for printing is on metal. This highly archival printing process enhances and magnifies the beauty of his images. Metal prints are easy to clean, and are durable and highly resistant to scratches. They can be hung in a kitchen or bathroom as safely as a living room or lobby. Research shows that these modern day tintypes can last up to 160 years without fading.

You decide what size you need, and whether you want it framed or not. Every print and frame is custom made to your order. If you need a metal print larger than 4X8 feet, we are happy to discuss other materials or methods to suit your needs.

Only 100 original prints of each certified Ultra-High Resolution Image is available, excluding prints in books etc., and your Ultra-High Resolution Image can be shipped and delivered to anywhere in the world. Commissions are also available.
