CRANTOCK ROCKPOOL REFLECTION
Photography is often about timing and during this excursion one late afternoon in the middle of summer, I managed to capture a beautiful collision of elements that have come together to create the photography print Cranktock Rockpool Reflection. I was at Crantock beach in North Cornwall and as the high tide began to recede, so too did the sun, creating the impression of both the light and the water retreating towards the horizon. Fortunately, I was the first person on the scene, so I was able to take up a prime spot on the rocks below Crantock’s weather-beaten cliffs, looking out towards a watery channel between the twin headlands in the distance.
Though the sun had fallen behind a layer of clouds in the distance, the colours of the sunset painted the sky in every direction, perfectly reflected in the rock pool at my feet. Creating a sort of layering effect, all the greys of the rocks framing the rockpool, the headlands framing the sea, and the clouds framing the sky add a sense of symmetry throughout. Despite the busyness of the sky and the movement of the ocean, the stillness of the mirror-topped pool creates a sense of calm and roots you to the spot as this small body of water escapes the pull of the tide, making Crantock Rockpool Reflection a calming image of an action packed sunset.

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.
