The artist
Meet Derek Aldana, photographer and adventurer
Derek Aldana is a Texas native who now calls Salt Lake City home. He is a professional photographer with years behind the camera.
His love of exploring began the moment he crossed the state line. Since then he has crossed deserts, hiked through forests and dived into clear lakes. The outdoors is where he finds calm and inspiration.
Movement runs through all of it. His photographs freeze a single moment and still carry the thrill of the ride.
The moment
Snowdrift: the story behind the photograph
A red Porsche 911 climbs a snow-covered mountain road. Skis are strapped to the roof, fresh powder flies from the tires, and the evergreens are heavy with snow.
It feels like the first run of the season, the drive up before anyone else is awake. Derek caught the car in motion and kept every flake of it.
People choose it for a living room, an office or a mountain home. It is winter at its most fun, in one bright flash of red.
The Utah series
Utah wall art: riders on open land
Four photographs of riders crossing open Utah country, on horseback and on motorcycles. Hang two, three or all four for a gallery wall with one story.
At home
Western and car wall art for the living room, and beyond
Bold, warm and full of motion, these photographs bring energy to a room.
In the living room
Snowdrift is a wide piece. Hang it above a console or sofa, about two-thirds of its width, and let the red do the work.
In an office or den
A Western piece like Hurry Home suits leather, wood and warm light.
On a gallery wall
Pair the black and white riders, like I Love Us and Never Settle. The open space repeats, so the wall feels calm.
