Stephen Karlisch has been traveling the world for over 20 years on various assignments for interior designers, architects, and private commissions. Our Art Shop includes a variety of scenic landscape photographs he has taken during his travels in coastal areas in the United States, the Amalfi coast in Italy, Iceland, Mexico and beyond. We have options in color and black and white, and all our prints are available in multiple sizes.

Adding large scale photographs to a room provides a dramatic focal point and enhances the space by adding narrative and a sense of place. The image you choose for your wall decor is a reflection of your personality, your design style, interests and aspirations.

Stephen’s eye for color and detail is evident in his photographs of classic architectural details such as a mansard roof, a Corinthian column, or a Paris balcony. He captures the dramatic play of light and shadow on landmark buildings like the Eiffel Tower, the Pantheon or the Rodin Museum. As an interior design element, his photographic prints underscore design themes and immediately elevate the mood in a room.

“Seeking out the sometimes overlooked architectural details and design elements in relatively famous buildings is a bit of a game to me. I appreciate the craftsmanship that is typically passed by, but tells a story from a place in history we should know when looking at that architectural piece. When I get the images in front of me, blown up with vivid detail, even more secrets are revealed that even I did not notice when making the photographs.”

Like a film noir, A Rainy Midnight Walk in the St-Germain-des-Prés captures the charm and mystery of one of Paris’s most famous neighborhoods. The Magnificent Staircase – Rodin Museum perfectly frames a sweeping architectural detail that can only be found in historic European buildings. David Vanqueur de Goliath offers a cheeky take on one of the oldest statues in the Jardin du Luxembourg.

Stephen Karlisch has been traveling the world for over 20 years on various assignments for interior designers, architects, and private commissions. After several years of requests for his images, he started printing out some of his favorite iconic images created on these trips. Trained in architecture, and having lived all over the world as the son of a Navy pilot and officer, Stephen is retracing his roots through Europe to recapture the images of his childhood memories. Drawn to color, depth, texture and scale, you will see signs of his commercial work and architectural past blended together to go beyond the typical tourist photo, although shooting from the same perch as many have stood before.

This original photography from his globetrotting adventures is now available in our on-line print shop. We have around 25 images and are currently updating with more. All prints are fine art archival quality with one inch border signed by Stephen Karlisch. We also have a few images that are limited editions. We are offering unframed as well as a few framed options. There is complimentary shipping on all orders within the USA. Please email hello@stephenkarlisch.com for information on our Designer/Trade pricing, custom sizes or other questions.
