Description
Artist Proof: Pastel Beach — A Masterpiece of Light and Stillness
The Pinnacle of Collecting: Only 5 Artist Proofs Worldwide
For the serious and discerning art collector, an Artist Proof of Pastel Beach represents the apex of rarity and prestige. Only 95 editions of Pastel Beach will ever be created, and just five Artist Proofs exist beyond them. These ultra-exclusive proofs are the crown jewels of the collection — reserved for those who demand the rarest, most coveted expressions of contemporary ocean photography.
The Essence of Pastel Beach
Pastel Beach captures twilight on the east cape of Cabo San Lucas, where gentle waves wash a quiet shore. Orange and pink blend into deep blue at the horizon, and the calm ocean reflects the sky’s warm glow like a mirror. Golden sand meets the soft white foam of the breaking waves. The photograph reveals the ocean at its most tranquil — inviting you into a moment where color, light, and water settle into perfect balance.

- Unparalleled Exclusivity: With only five Artist Proofs in existence, each piece is a singular treasure, offering the highest tier of rarity in the edition.
- Distinctive Prestige: Artist Proofs are highly sought after by elite collectors and carry a significant premium, with value and desirability increasing as each edition is acquired.
- Potential for Customization: Select Artist Proofs may feature subtle color or tonal variations, or even be customized in collaboration with the artist, making each Artist Proof a truly unique work.
- Museum-Quality Presentation: Every Artist Proof is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, finished in premium acrylic, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
- Exclusive Collector Experiences: Acquisition of an Artist Proof includes access to private experiences with the artist — such as exclusive events, private viewings, and white-glove installation — ensuring a memorable journey from acquisition to display.

Acrylic
PREMIUM FINISH
Optically printed onto Fuji Crystal Archive photographic paper and face mounted to acrylic, this premium finish is our state-of-the-art photographic presentation. No other medium has more resolution, detail or color than this finish. The acrylic acts as a lens to enhance these qualities, giving the art a rich and luxurious feel.
- Our most vibrant and popular finish
- This medium is optically printed onto Fuji Crystal Archival paper, which has a pearlescent base, resulting in vivid, rich colors
- The colors in the art awaken or lay down according to the light source, allowing the viewer to see and feel the art differently as the light changes
- The back frame is a recessed aluminum frame mounted to the back of the print, that hangs easily using a cleat or z-bar.
- This presentation gives a clean, modern appearance of the print floating off the wall
Aaron Chang’s Limited Editions: Edition Size, Valuation and Exclusive Editions
About Limited Editions
What is an edition size? An edition’s size is how many prints we will make of a particular photograph. For example, an edition size of 95 means that 95 signed limited-edition prints will be made of that image plus between 1 and 3 Artist Proofs.
- Limited editions generally come in different quantities: 500, 250, 95, 50, 25 or 10. Aaron chooses the edition size for each image at the time of release. Each edition also includes between 1 and 3 exclusive Artist Proofs.
- Due to our ability to customize Aaron’s photographs to our client’s space, our standard sizes, plus any custom sized photos, murals or surfboards, are assigned an edition number for their art. This edition number will go towards the total number of editions created. The clients will receive their signed limited edition with Aaron’s signature, their edition number and the total number of editions printed. For example: 20/95.
- Each limited-edition work comes with a certificate of authenticity.
How are Limited Editions Valued?
For editions of 500, 250 and 95, limited editions are valued based on our 3-tier pricing matrix. As the edition sells through, the price goes up.
- The first third of the total number of editions (usually starting at edition #11) are launched at a set price based on the size of the art.
- The 1st tier pricing is our best value and rewards collectors who get in early on a release.
- After the first third of the editions sell through, the pricing moves to 2nd tier pricing, which is priced higher than the 1st tier pricing. Likewise, 2nd tier having sold through two thirds of the edition moves into 3rd tier pricing which is higher than 2nd tier.
Editions of 50, 25, 15 or 10 are unique small editions, priced by the artist, with the premium editions being the first and last of the total edition run.
Collector’s Editions (CE)- Reserved Limited Editions:
Editions #1-10 are reserved as the Special Collector’s Editions for our Premium Collectors, who are eager to acquire a low or exclusive edition number. These editions are sold at a set premium price and can be purchased at any time during the release.
Artist Proofs (AP) represent the most exclusive part of the edition and carry a significant premium in price reflecting scarcity. Artists proofs are customized by the artist to render a unique interpretation of the digital negative other than the Standard Release version and may have color, tonal and/or compositional variances from the Standard Edition.
