Fine Art Photography
Steven Robert Albaranes
I'm mostly known professionally for creating beautiful exotic butterfly displays for over 30 years with 'Real Exotic Butterflies', which can be seen at www.Butterflyart.com.
My other passion is Landscape Photography and my biggest thrill is when I'm out and about with my honey, Florence, photographing the beautiful San Francisco Bay Area.
I never tire of the beautiful city lights magically glowing on the San Francisco Bay. Just after the sunsets, this time of the day is called Blue Time or Magic Time. During this special time of day, Long Exposure Photography can produce some of the most spectacular colors in photography.
These images look great on any wall for the home or office. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at (415) 264-6257. 10am to 5pm Pacific Time.
Thank you for stopping by. Steven
I am often asked which is my favorite image. This picture of the Golden Gate Bridge was taken Sept. 17, 2015 from Marshal Beach. The beautiful glow of lights reflected on the sand from the bridges lights made this image of the Golden Gate Bridge my absolute favorite.
I have mostly been photographing the San Francisco Bay Area professionally since 2015. I have been to many locations in the Bay Area several times, knowing that each and every visit will give me a very different image than before. This way you get to choose the image that most pleases you.
I use a tripod every time I go out photographing. At sunset and at night it is a must but I also use it during my day shots to achieve the sharpest image possible.

About our Canvas - Metal and Paper Prints
GICLEE CANVAS: The picture to the left shows a photo printed on Canvas size 40" x 60" displayed in our living room. Only archival inks to prevent fading and to preserve as much fine detail as possible with no over-saturation or color shifting. The quality of a Giclee Print on Canvas is far superior to all other forms of printing. You will be amazed.
HIGH-GLOSS METAL: Dyes are infused directly into the high-gloss metal, which creates a unique Luminescent Effect and true-to-life image clarity. They come ready to hang with a pre-installed floating mount frame on the back.
PAPER PRINTS: I'm using a very high quality lab for printing my images. The lab prints on Fujifilm Photo Paper Glossy. All my clients have told me they love the High Gloss Finish.
