BREAK OF DAWN AT UNTERSBERG SUMMIT
The northernmost part of the mighty Berchtesgaden Alps, the Untersberg massif is a wonderful work of nature. Straddling the border between Germany and Austria and nudging the Salzburg basin, this sprawling mountain range has found far-reaching fame for its beauty and was even used to film scenes in the 1965 Sound of Music movie. Naturally, the mountains here radiate a special kind of allure and are a beacon for everyone from climbers to photographers. That said, it was the peak of the Untersberg mountain summit that became my muse for the photograph; Break of Dawn at Untersberg Summit
The very last picture I took during my trip to Austria, Break of Dawn at Untersberg Summit was taken early on a clear morning, just as the sun began to crest over the horizon. With a cloudless sky allowing for a gorgeous golden glow, the warm sunshine slowly poured over the mountain face, beautifully contrasting the cool blues of the mountain and sky with the golden wash of the morning light. A rare moment of calm in the often-tempestuous conditions of the mountain range, this image captures a softer side to the face – all the while its jagged lines and the miniscule cross atop the summit serve to remind the viewer of the power, energy and scale of the mountain.

Further Information
+ PRINTING
Each of my images is printed using an Epson SureColor SC-P800 Printer. This printer is designed to produce high quality professional prints using UltraChrome HD ink that gives a true-to-life finish. Shadows are notably crisp against the vibrancy of the colour palettes across all size ranges of my photography.
+ PAPER
I print my images on Innova Resin Coated Photo Metallic Gloss paper which works extremely well on the Epson SureColor SC-P800 Printer. This 260gsm photo paper has a natural white base tone that contains metallic pigments in its microporous coating. Not only does it provide a high gloss finish, the pigments offer an extra dimension of subtle colour shifts under changing light conditions, and is suitable for colour and greyscale prints.
+ MOUNTBOARDS
I use white mountboards with my photographs. Bainbridge Alphamat Artcare Mounts provide art work with high quality protection from air and acid pollutants, as well as being 100% fade resistant and bleed proof.
+ FRAMING
I offer a range of glass-fronted frames in wood (Birch), and aluminium (Frosted Silver or Jet Black Polished). I have chosen these frames for their strength and quality, and because they perfectly complement the mountboards and balance my images.
+ OTHER MATERIALS
Besides these key components it is also worth noting that I use archival back boards to provide your print with further added protection, and when purchasing framed photography the mounts are secured using acid-free tape.
+ DELIVERY
Framed prints are made to order and will try and dispatch within 7 working days however this can be shorter or longer depending on workload. Ink need the time to properly set to the paper before being handled and this can take a few days.
All framed prints ship in a bespoke and secure packaging system via insured courier. I try to recycle cardboard ink within my packaging materials where I can to add to security to the shipment.
