Mark Lilly Photography (MLP) specializes in high-resolution, large format photographic wall murals and fine art photography. MLP’s high-resolution murals are not simply “one-shot”, but rather comprised of 10s to 100s of photos in order to maintain the critical resolution and sharpness needed for murals sizes of upwards of 30-50 ft in width x 10-20 ft in height. MLP maintains an extensive catalogue of vibrant murals, in addition, to providing unique, custom murals that meet client’s specifications, objectives, and timelines.
The following 100% crop examples (e.g, Yosemite National Park, Eastern Span of the Oakland-San Francisco Bay Bridge) illustrate the extreme differences in detail, sharpness, and noise between enlarging a single shot and a multiple shot photo to wall size.
