Barton Caplan - Black and White Artist Portrait - Photographer and Founder of Gutterstars Studio - Los Angeles, California Fine Art.

L.A. noir photography | one-of-one archival prints

by Barton Caplan

Los Angeles holds a hidden beauty in its corners and alleyways, away from the celebrated sunshine. I search for the sublime shapes and cinematic textures that only reveal themselves in the shadows of L.A.'s storied architecture.Gutterstars Studio is my collection of these moments, preserved as unique 1/1 artifacts for the modern collector. Each one-of-one 20x26 archival pigment print is produced on museum-grade Canson Platine, hand-signed, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.
