Ken Allen Digital | Alexandria, Virginia
Ken Allen has set-up a sister studio to his Brooklyn location.
I attended his open house in Old Town last night. Ken and I spoke at length about their services and customer base. I brought along a D3X raw file from a recent aerial shoot to see how large he could take the image up and the quality of the print on Hahnemuhle Baryta paper.
The studio is on the second floor with sky lights and a clean open feeling. I looked at several sample prints: including an Obama election picture from Burnetti that was printed on three manufactures matte papers.
He is dividing his time between the Brooklyn and Alexandria studios. He has a solid client base in the DC region with museums and associations. After interviewing twenty-five people chosen from 300 applicants, Ken chose Patrick Allen (no relation) to work in the Alexandria location. Patrick spent a year flying up and down the east coast shooting aerials of Lighthouses. I thought that was a great introduction to this crazy business.
With my Chesapeake book close to sending off to the printer, I plan to host a show of very large aerials from the book.
Ken may be the studio that I work with to produce the limited edition prints from the project.

Chesapeake Bay Aerial Prints for a Client
These were delivered two days ago from the framer. A couple of quick pictures with the iPhone yesterday afternoon.
These images were featured in my Washington Post Magazine piece on the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
The large print is seventy-five inches on the long side. The other two are half-size to their big brother.
I’m pretty psyched about seeing my aerials this large. My client is a financial firm based in the Mid-Atlantic. The idea was to show the Chesapeake Bay Watershed from an aerial perspective. They are on the top floor of a Virginia Office building and can see river fog rising from the Potomac River on clear mornings.
