Pulitzer Prize-winning photographer Jack Dykinga is one of America's most respected landscape photographers. His skill in creating images that are both majestic and factual has made him a favorite of prestigious publications such as Arizona Highways, Audubon, Harpers, Sierra Club, Sunset, Popular Photography, Outdoor Photographer and Time. He also has published several books, including his most recent, "Large Format Nature Photography", which is an instructional user's guide written to demystify the highly technical world of four-by-five view cameras.

Jack's work reflects the merging of a photojournalistic, documentary approach with large-format landscape photography, focusing on environmental issues in the United States and Mexico. In the autumn of 1999, West Coast Imaging teamed with Jack Dykinga to create a collection of prints for an Arizona Highways Exhibition featuring his work, alongside photographs by David Muench and Ansel Adams. We collaborated on many prints, which have hung in multiple high-profile venues including the Phoenix Art Museum, The Center for Creative Photography, and the Museum of Northern Arizona.

"The images are incredible, but more importantly, working with (West Coast Imaging) has been an absolute dream," Dykinga said. "It's been better than any lab I've worked with."

Over the past four years, we've had the great pleasure of printing dozens of his images using our Exhibition Print Service.

"Working with Jack Dykinga to make his expressive prints has been a sincere pleasure and creative treat," said West Coast Imaging Master Printer Terrance Reimer.

"Jack's chromes are so tight, he makes the challenge of creating exceptional prints come very easy to the digital process. He is an inspiration to me, not only as a photographer, but also as a steward to the natural environment. His images are always powerful and provocative. Jack is a living legend."
