While some may categorize my photography art as “fine” art, I prefer for it to be called “custom” photography with inspiration. One of my favorite pieces to create is art that features beaches! Especially capturing lifeguard towers along the California coast line. Fine beach art is one of the favorite categories of art that individuals love decorating their homes and offices with! It can just bring an inspiration feel to any property, who doesn’t love the beach! Certain coast lines can capture memories that when you see them it brings back some amazing memories, I strive to capture these iconic areas to bring memories to your life.

fine beach art

As a member of the Carlsbad community, I absolutely love the area and the geographic beauty that Carlsbad has to offer. Whether it’s the Carlsbad landscape, the Carlsbad beaches, or the icons that dot the Carlsbad area, I really try and capture these surroundings in my art and photography so that others who are looking for Carlsbad wall art for the home can enjoy them too! I also find lifeguard towers very intriguing on the coastal line as these have become a place of meeting for beachgoers and many go to the same sports for years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is custom photography art, and how is it different from stock prints?

Custom photography art is personalized photographic artwork created specifically for a client’s taste, space, or vision—often tailored in subject, color palette, size, and framing to complement a particular environment. Unlike stock prints, which are mass-produced and widely available, custom photography offers a unique, one-of-a-kind expression that reflects the buyer’s aesthetic preferences or emotional connection to a place, person, or theme. It transforms photography from a generic decoration into a meaningful piece of art with personal significance.

Can I commission Roy Kerckhoffs to create a piece based on my vision or theme?

Yes, you can absolutely commission Roy to create a piece based on your vision or theme. We welcome collaborative projects and are skilled at interpreting your ideas—whether it's a specific mood, location, color palette, or concept—into compelling visual art. During the commissioning process, you’ll typically discuss your vision, budget, timeline, and any particular elements you want included, allowing Roy to tailor the shoot and final piece to match your personal aesthetic or the intended space.

How do I choose the right style of photography to match my home décor?

To choose the right style of photography to match your home décor, start by considering the overall theme and color palette of your space. For modern or minimalist interiors, black-and-white photography or abstract images often work well. If your home features warm, rustic elements, landscape or nature photography with earthy tones can complement the aesthetic. Coastal or bohemian styles may pair best with soft, airy beach scenes or vibrant travel photography. Also, think about the mood you want to create—serene, dramatic, nostalgic—and let that guide your selection. At the end of the day, the right style should reflect both your personal taste and the ambiance of the room.

What size and framing options are available for custom photo art?

Custom photo art typically comes in a wide range of sizes, from small 8"x10" prints to large-scale pieces exceeding 40"x60" or more, depending on the space and aesthetic you're aiming for. Framing options are equally versatile, with choices including sleek modern metal frames, classic wood in various finishes, floating frames for a contemporary look, and even frameless options like canvas wraps or acrylic face mounts.

Can I use a personal photo and have it professionally edited or transformed into art?

Yes, you can absolutely use a personal photo and have it professionally edited or transformed into a piece of art. Many artists and digital creators specialize in taking client-supplied photos—such as family portraits, travel memories, or pet images—and enhancing them through techniques like retouching, color correction, digital painting, or stylization to match a specific artistic style. This process allows you to turn meaningful moments into high-quality, custom artwork that reflects your personal taste and can be proudly displayed in your home or given as a unique gift.

Do you offer in-person consultations or studio visits?

Yes, appointments can be scheduled for in-person consultations or studio visits. Please contact me to arrange a suitable time.

What are the typical costs involved in commissioning custom photographic artwork?

The costs of commissioning custom photographic artwork can vary widely based on factors such as the photographer’s experience, the complexity of the project, print size and materials, and any post-production or framing needs. Generally, prices can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars. For example, a small, unframed archival print might start around $300–$500, while a large, professionally mounted and framed piece can exceed $2,000. Additional expenses might include travel fees, location access permits, or licensing for commercial use. It's important to discuss your vision and budget with the artist upfront to ensure a clear understanding of the scope and pricing.

How long does it take to complete and deliver a custom photography piece?

The time it takes to complete and deliver a custom photography piece can vary depending on the complexity of the project, the photographer’s schedule, and any special requests involved, such as framing or size adjustments. On average, clients can expect the process to take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks from the initial consultation to final delivery. This timeline includes concept development, shooting, editing, printing, and any custom finishing or shipping requirements. Clear communication with the photographer can help ensure expectations and deadlines are aligned.

Is custom photo art available in different formats like canvas, metal, or acrylic prints?

Yes, custom photo art is widely available in a variety of formats to suit different tastes and interior styles, including canvas, metal, and acrylic prints. Canvas prints offer a classic, textured look that mimics traditional paintings and blends well with cozy or rustic decor. Metal prints provide a sleek, modern finish with vibrant colors and sharp details, making them ideal for contemporary spaces. Acrylic prints deliver a glossy, high-definition appearance that adds depth and brilliance, perfect for a clean, gallery-like aesthetic. These diverse options allow you to personalize your artwork to match your home’s design and your personal preferences.

Can Roy visit my home to help decide what kind of photo art would work best?

Yes, Roy offer in-home consultations to help you choose the best photo art for your space. By visiting your home, he can get a better sense of your interior style, wall dimensions, lighting, and color scheme, which allows him to recommend pieces or custom photography that will complement your décor. This personalized approach makes sure the final artwork feels intentional and improves the overall atmosphere of your home.

Do custom photography pieces come with certificates of authenticity or artist signatures?

Yes, custom photography pieces do come with certificates of authenticity or artist signatures, especially when purchased directly from the photographer or through a reputable gallery. A certificate of authenticity verifies the work’s originality and often includes details like the title, date, edition number (if applicable), and the artist’s signature. Similarly, a signed print adds value and assures buyers that the piece is an authentic representation of the artist’s work.

The lifeguard towers of Carlsbad are an important and special part of the beautiful Carlsbad coastlines.  Not only are they a meeting place for beachgoers, but they are icons of the coast line and life in Carlsbad.  These have become some of my favorite spots to shoot and create custom photos from for clients to have in their homes or businesses.  Whether its "Tower 38 and the Pier", "Carlsbad Tower 37", "Stairs at Tower 27", or even "Tower 26" amongst others. Just a little about Carlsbad, Carlsbad is a city near San Diego, in California. It's known for Tamarack Surf Beach, backed by the Carlsbad Sea Wall, and secluded South Carlsbad State Beach. The Legoland California theme park includes rides, a water park and the SEA LIFE Aquarium. The Flower Fields is a seasonal attraction, with acres of flowers.  It is a terrific place to take photos and I hope my love for Carlsbad comes out in the art!
