Selecting the Best Material for "The Glow"
Because these are authentic captures and not AI-generated, they contain deep data and natural gradients that react beautifully to different materials:
-
Metal (High-Gloss Aluminum): This is the "gold standard" for auroras. The light reflects through the ink, making the green bands appear to glow from within, just like the real living sky.
-
Acrylic Facemount: Provides incredible 3D-like depth and a glass-like finish, pulling the viewer into the scene to maximize the therapeutic "Visual Anchor" effect.
-
Fine Art Paper: For a classic, reflection-free look, choose a heavy-weight matte or luster paper (such as Hahnemühle) to preserve natural textures and calming tones.

Critical Technical Checklist
-
No Auto-Correction: When uploading your file, always disable "auto-enhance" or "color correction".
-
Preserve the Edit: These files are professionally edited to preserve the delicate balance of the night sky; auto-correction can ruin these natural histograms.
-
Authenticity Guaranteed: Rest assured that your file is a real moment in time.
-
Non-AI: Unlike AI art, these captures maintain the genuine healing energy of the natural world.
-
Large-Scale Ready: Our high-resolution files are optimized for large-format printing, allowing you to create a massive focal point for stress reduction.

Art with a Global Purpose
Every purchase fuels a mission of healing and amplifies voices that are often unheard:
-
Supporting Youth: Sales directly fund therapeutic photography programs, such as the Pinehouse Photography Club, for Métis and First Nations youth in Northern Saskatchewan.
-
Mental Health Advocacy: Founded by a primary care nurse, this initiative provides equipment and mentorship to help young people navigate stress, burnout, and trauma.
-
Community Connection: By displaying this art, you are participating in a cycle of wellness that empowers both the viewer and the Indigenous communities where these images were born.
