The most recent release of Grand Image’s Print on Demand (POD) line welcomes ReD Ognita to the stable.  ReD Ognita is an award-winning photographer, born in Philippines and currently living and working in Beijing, China.  Ognita’s images have a distinctive aesthetic inspired by the architecture of his environment in China–similar to Hiroshi Sugimoto’s ‘Seascapes’ and the quite contemplative nature of a Mark Rothko painting.
