Joh L. Ustad Sjohus Hotel: A Fine Art Drone Print by Dan Kosmayer
As I guided my drone over the fjord, a mesmerizing vista of the Joh L. Ustad Sjohus Hotel unfurled beneath me. The grandeur of the ocean, land, and sky presents itself vividly in this fine-art photograph, where the deserted building stands, a silent testament to resilience, harmonizing with the sheer natural splendor around it.
Low-hanging, somber clouds set a dramatic stage, their greyness juxtaposing the inky darkness of the ocean's waters. Adding an enigmatic touch, the stormy atmosphere weaves a tale of intrigue around the decaying edifice. The weathered structure bears the imprints of time and the unyielding onslaught of nature, an intimate portrayal of the past encapsulated in a single frame.
Peering through the drone's lens, the viewer is privy to a unique perspective, unveiling the magnificence of the fjord. The white, textured façade of the deserted building, set against the backdrop of brooding weather, lends the photograph an artistic depth. The play of light and shadow, along with the contrasting elements, invites viewers to delve into the history and narratives concealed within the hotel's walls, once a hub of life and activity.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
