About the Artist

Dylan Ozanich is a photographer, videographer, and printmaker based in San Francisco. His work moves between places — coastlines, cities, backroads, and the spaces in between — made on foot, from bikes, and from motorcycles covering long stretches of the American road.

He is a co-founder of Scale Up Art, a fine art printing studio in San Francisco's Dogpatch neighborhood, where he oversees production for photographers, artists, and galleries across the country. His own work includes Finding Main Street — a cross-country motorcycle documentary made with his brother Brant and friend Wyatt, later picked up by CNN — and Never Fast Enough, a short film on San Francisco's café racer scene.

The prints available through Photo & Craft are drawn from fifteen years of personal work. Every edition is printed and framed at his own studio.

Process

Photograph to Print

The print is where his work actually finishes its journey. The frames come from the many travels and time spent on the seat of a motorcycle across coastlines, cities, and long stretches of backroad. Taking the photo is just the begining of the journey, it will find its way through the selections and finally, into the print studio where he'll build the hand crafted hardwood frames and print on fine art photographic paper himself. That second half is the part people rarely see, the proofing, watching a file behave differently on cotton rag than it did on a screen, pulling proof after proof until the tones sit where they belong. Printmaking and framing is the final step in the process to bring an image to life, and every edition is made with the materials and care it deserves.
