399 and the Fab Four | Day One
Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
The First Light of Four
Captured on the historic first day, Grizzly 399 emerged with her rare quadruplets; this image documents a moment of sheer biological wonder in the Grand Teton wilderness. To be present at the very beginning of this chapter in her legacy required the kind of professional fieldcraft earned over five decades in the high country. This portrait is more than a photograph; it is a first-hand record of the resilience and maternal strength of the world’s most famous grizzly.

Behind the Lens: The First Day of the Fab Four
The history of Grizzly 399 is a narrative of resilience, but the day she emerged with her rare quadruplets was a moment of high-stakes coordination. I was waiting near the roadside—the most ethical and non-intrusive vantage point for documenting bears in the lower 48—with my long-time friend from our Denali days, Tom Mangelsen.
We had spent the morning monitoring rumors that she was heading toward the road. We each retreated to our vehicles to ready our heavy tripods and long lenses, having agreed that if either of us heard anything, we would signal the other immediately.
The tension broke when I saw Tom grip his steering wheel with purpose and give a sharp, silent nod of his head—the signal to follow. We traced our way down the road and had barely finished leveling our tripods when the silence of the sagebrush was broken. 399 appeared over a rise, and behind her, in single file, came the 'Fab Four'.
To capture the very first hours of that historic emergence was a gift earned through fifty years of patience and the kind of field-tested brotherhood that only decades in the wild can forge".

Fine Art Print Purchase FAQ
This section answers the most common questions from collectors regarding quality, authenticity, materials, and ordering logistics for my limited-edition prints.
1. Quality, Materials, and Archival Longevity
Q: What makes Jess Lee's prints "museum-quality"?
A: My fine art prints are defined by exceptional resolution, professional craftsmanship, and the use of the industry's highest-grade archival materials. This ensures the image quality remains pristine for decades, meeting the standards required for gallery exhibitions and long-term private collections.
Q: What specific materials and printing processes are used?
A: I create prints using processes that guarantee maximum clarity and longevity:
- Substrates: Available materials include Lumachrome® HD TruLife® Acrylic, Chromaluxe® Metal, and premium archival pigment prints on fine art cotton-rag paper.
- Inks: Only fade-resistant, archival pigmented inks are used, offering a wider color gamut and superior durability compared to standard dye-based prints.
- Resolution: Landscape work and considered wildlife portraits are captured on 100-megapixel medium format systems; fast-action wildlife is captured on 35mm-format professional bodies for frame rate and maneuverability. Each image is offered only at the sizes its own file genuinely supports.
Creating A TruLife Acrylic Print
2. Investment, Authenticity, and Exclusivity
Q: Why should I purchase a limited-edition print?
A: Limited editions are a hallmark of collectible art. By restricting the total number of copies produced for a specific image, the scarcity is guaranteed, which generally supports the artwork's collectible value and long-term investment potential. Once an edition is sold out, it is never reprinted.
Q: How is the print authenticated and numbered?
A: Every limited-edition fine art print is authenticated:
Signature: Each print is signed and numbered.
Certificate of Authenticity (COA): A formal Certificate of Authenticity is provided with every purchase. This document details the artwork title, total edition size, medium, and the specific number of your print (e.g., 5/100).
Provenance: This documentation verifies the print's origin and is essential for future appraisal or resale.
Q: What is the typical edition size for your work?
A: Edition sizes vary by image and reflect how repeatable the subject is. Most fall between 100 and 200; some are 50; a few are larger. Every image page states its own edition, and that number is fixed permanently the day it is published.
3. Ordering, Shipping, and Customer Service
Q: How long will it take to receive my print?
A: Since each limited-edition print is custom-crafted to your material and size specifications, production requires careful attention.
Production Time: Please allow 4 to 6 weeks for printing, finishing and quality control. Custom orders and the holiday season may run longer. Rush production is available at a 20-30% premium — contact me if you have a date to meet.
Shipping: Shipping times vary by destination, but tracking information is provided as soon as your artwork ships.
Q: How are the prints shipped, and are they insured?
A: All shipments are handled by professional art carriers and are fully insured against damage during transit.
Packaging: Prints are securely packaged in durable, custom-built crates or specialized art boxes designed to prevent damage.
Damage Policy: If your artwork arrives damaged, please contact me within 48 hours of delivery with photographic proof. I will immediately initiate an insurance claim and arrange for a prompt replacement at no cost to you.
Q: What is your return policy?
A: Due to the custom-made, limited-edition nature of the artwork, all sales are final once production has begun.
Once production has begun, changes cannot be made to the size, print medium, or image selection. Because production starts immediately and materials are custom-ordered for your specific piece, modifications are not possible after order confirmation.
I encourage you to take time to carefully consider your selection. Use the free room preview to see how the artwork will look in your space, and contact me with any questions before ordering.
We only offer replacements or credit if the product is damaged during shipping (see Damage Policy above).
