Behind the Scenes with Matt Janson – Western Colorado photographer Matt Janson meticulously sets up his 3D photography process, capturing the intricate details of Winter Rose. His innovative approach to depth and lighting has earned national recognition.
Colorado homegrown artists' large-format stereo photographs of seasonal botanicals featured in photography's leading publication, and display in Fruita gallery.
The immersive exhibition is now on display at Canvas 35 Gallery at FARM in Fruita. Visitors experience a mesmerizing three-dimensional effect achieved through a technique dating back to 1832. Janson’s series breathes new life into the nearly two-century-old visual technique, presenting stereo photographs in large format—a rarity in the gallery world. The series combines classic composition, negative space, and high-definition imagery.
"Matt's work brilliantly showcases our region's natural beauty while demonstrating exceptional technical mastery," said Canvas 35 Gallery Director Carlee Burnett. "The response from our community has been overwhelming, with many visitors returning multiple times to experience how the images capture the dramatic seasonal transitions unique to western Colorado."
"People assume this was done with new technology," says Janson. "It's incredible to see the reaction when I tell them this technique has been around for almost 200 years. In an increasingly AI-driven world, I love bringing back an analog experience in a way that feels fresh and immersive while showcasing the beauty of nature."
Janson’s journey to perfecting this technique spanned years of experimentation, equipment upgrades, and artistic refinement. After initially testing the stereo effect a decade ago, he revisited the concept with a clear vision—documenting local plant life across four seasons.
A special artist meet and greet will be held at Canvas 35 Gallery on March 29 from 2 pm to 5 pm.
High-resolution images of selected works and exhibition spaces are available for media use.
