Josh Werling is a Master Printer and fine art photographer who has spent nearly thirty years in pursuit of a single obsession: the perfect print.

As founder and manager of the Digital Output Center at the Cleveland Institute of Art — a fine art print studio built by artists, for artists — Werling has spent nearly twenty years producing archival work for the artists and photographers of one of the country's leading art institutions. That experience, he'll tell you, has been a master's education unto itself.

His work moves between the shorelines and waterways of the American Northeast, the fog-bound civic monuments of Cleveland, and the rare atmospheric events that transform ordinary landscape into something irreversible. Each image is made under conditions that cannot be repeated — and printed under conditions that can be precisely controlled.

Werling holds a BFA in Graphic Design from Bowling Green State University and has studied with internationally recognized photographer and master printer John Paul Caponigro. His work is held in the collection of the Cleveland Art Association.

Every print he produces is made by hand, using archival pigment inks on museum-grade cotton rag, in strictly limited editions of 25 — each one signed and numbered by the artist.
