About Us
Collecting Fine Art Photography: An Investment in Beauty and Elegance
Straight To Point offers museum-quality photographic prints that capture the architectural and natural beauty of America's most iconic locations. Each piece is printed directly on Alu-Dibond, a premium aluminum composite material renowned for its exceptional durability and vibrant color reproduction—perfect for both sophisticated indoor spaces and sheltered outdoor environments.
Our collection is meticulously curated for the discerning collector, whether for private residences, corporate environments, or investment portfolios. Each artwork is designed not only to captivate the eye but to serve as a compelling focal point that enhances mood, productivity, and the overall aesthetic of any space.
Why These Works Hold Value
Premium Alu-Dibond Direct Printing
Unlike traditional paper prints, our images are printed directly onto Alu-Dibond—a lightweight yet incredibly rigid aluminum composite. This cutting-edge medium offers:
- Superior durability for long-term investment protection
- Vivid, luminous colors that maintain their brilliance for decades
- Weather resistance suitable for sheltered outdoor installations
- Modern, frameless aesthetic with a sleek, contemporary finish
- UV stability that resists fading far beyond traditional prints
The direct-to-substrate printing process eliminates concerns about paper deterioration, humidity damage, or the need for protective glazing, making these pieces virtually maintenance-free while preserving their investment value.
Limited Edition Releases
Each image is released in strictly limited editions, with edition sizes clearly marked on every piece. Once an edition sells out, that image is never reprinted in that size or format. This controlled scarcity protects collector value and ensures exclusivity.
Provenance & Authentication
Every purchase includes:
- Certificate of Authenticity with edition number
- Detailed provenance documentation
- Print specifications and materials used
- Registration in our permanent collection records
This documentation is essential for insurance purposes, resale, and estate planning.
Collection Focus: Nature Meets Urban Excellence
Our work celebrates the intersection of natural beauty and architectural achievement:
- Iconic New York City architecture and bridges
- Coastal landscapes from Cape Canaveral to Miami
- Seasonal beauty of the Hudson Valley
- Urban gardens and natural moments within cityscapes
Each location is chosen for its timeless significance, ensuring the subject matter remains culturally relevant and visually compelling across decades. Research indicates that nature-inspired art can improve mood and productivity by up to 15%—making our prints not just beautiful, but functionally beneficial in both residential and corporate environments.
Investment Considerations
Placement Versatility
Our Alu-Dibond prints have proven successful in diverse high-value settings:
- Executive offices and boardrooms
- Luxury residential properties (indoor and covered patios)
- Boutique hotels and hospitality venues
- Medical and professional practices
- Corporate art programs
- High-end retail environments
The weather-resistant properties of Alu-Dibond expand placement possibilities beyond traditional paper prints, allowing collectors to enhance outdoor living spaces, covered terraces, and architectural features where conventional art cannot be displayed.
Size Options for Every Space
Works are available in multiple sizes (specific dimensions vary by piece), allowing collectors to:
- Start with smaller works and expand their collection

- No framing costs required - sleek, modern presentation ready to hang
- Lower maintenance - no glass to clean, no matting to replace
- Lightweight - easier and less expensive to ship and install than framed glass pieces
- Contemporary aesthetic - appeals to modern design sensibilities
- Durability - resistant to warping, impact, and environmental factors
Resale Market Considerations
Fine art photography has demonstrated strong performance in the secondary market when properly documented and cared for. Our comprehensive provenance records and certificates support future transactions should you choose to sell or donate your piece. The superior durability of Alu-Dibond ensures these works maintain their visual excellence over time—a critical factor in long-term value retention.
