W Hotel San Diego Debuts Art Collection
This framed collection (on display until the end of January) features Aaron's high impact, large format photographic prints of waves, surf shots and exotic locations across the globe. Aaron offers many of these framed images in large, high impact sizes up to 8 feet long.

"Aaron's photography is the perfect compliment to W San Diego's Surf. Sand. Chic. atmosphere," notes General Manager Martina Boettcher. "His exhibit has generated much interest and endless comments from our guests. Aaron's recent gallery reception was a wonderfully unique event for us, bringing in a full house and taking over two floors from the poolside debut of his photo wrapped surfboards to outdoor digital displays on the beach."

Larger custom size images can be printed on high quality paper, metal, glass and wood using eco-friendly dies. When printing onto metal, the digital photographic quality gives the pieces depth and accents with unbelievably rich colors. The prints are below the surface providing a high-quality appearance with lasting durability. These large pieces provide a new and unique twist to both indoor and outdoor design.

"The digital revolution has made this possible," Aaron states. “The amount of information in a digital file today far exceeds that which is on 35mm film. The resulting art is stunning clarity and detail never seen before by people who have not experienced Pipeline on a 10 foot day. The finest details like water drops on the face of a wave are brought to life through this advanced technology. It's almost like being there."

The Aaron Chang Gallery will be open to the public and for appointments on February 3 with the Grand Opening event taking place on February 28 in Solana Beach, California. A portion of the proceeds from the event will be donated to the Surfrider Foundation.
