Photography Prints Envisioned
I have been looking for new and creative ways to display my work. My budget and storage space does not allow for printing everything at will and without a storefront to display work or a gallery partnership to hang pieces it's difficult to properly display a final product. Viewing a digital portfolio provides a convenient platform for browsing, but it does not help convey what a final framed print or canvas might actually look like.
Once pieces are hung and become part of a space their presence can completely alter the mood and atmosphere of a room. Size can have a significant influence as well, transforming a piece from "that small photo I liked and put on my wall" to something that completely envelopes a viewer, drawing interest and intrigue from anyone in it's presence.
I had seen digitally superimposed displays put together by other photographers before and decided to adopt this technique for myself to help display artwork in a living space. Below are a few of my favorites, showing both framed and canvas statement pieces as part of various home decor.
To see all samples, view the Print & Canvas Samples Album on the Cate Brown Photo Facebook Page. Which one is your favorite?

Warm Getaways
I had been eagerly awaiting this winter season. Here in New England, the winter months can be rather frigid, but for those of us who don’t mind the exhaustive work of climbing into 6 mil wetsuits or ice-cream-headache cold waters, it’s the eagerly anticipated winter months that bring the biggest swells. We had snow before the New Year and water temps quickly started approaching 40°F. But in typical fashion, as soon as the long awaited winter months arrived, I was craving a break from the cold gray in favor of a warm water reprieve.
Board Portraits // Experiments
I've been wanting to shoot more portraits lately, but in combination with the surf community that I've been so involved with the past year. My good friend, Kevin Tanner, behind Soudnings Surf Co creates some gorgeous handcrafted boards. He does all his own shaping, resin work, and glassing, and I wanted to photograph some beautiful boards to highlight his craftsmanship as well as portraits of my friends who ride them. I decided to do board portraits.
Snowy Surf Sessions
A lot of us enjoy the warm weather, but a select few of us still enjoy (or perhaps tolerate) the cold weather. And nothing quite says winter like a fresh snowfall! On the rare occasion Rhode Island experiences more than one inch of snow while there's swell in the water, you can find a select few of dedicated riders on the shore eager to have a snow session.
