GRAND CANAL ROYAL BLUE
During my stay in Venice, I made sure to take advantage of each of the sunrises and sunsets for some incredible backdrops to the city’s architecture, but my work did not stop there. I wanted to photograph in much darker conditions to take full advantage of the city’s artificial glow from the ornate lamps and lit-up docking stations on the canal.
Getting up several hours before sunrise, I made my way to Accademia Bridge and positioned myself facing towards the domes of the Basilica di Santa Maria della Salute and where the Grand Canal meets the open waters of the sea.
At this hour, the sky was clouded over and a deep shade of royal blue. The waters of the canal were calm and glossy, allowing the reflection of the streetlamps to bleed onto the water’s surface and further illuminate the intricate window frames of the buildings on the waterfront.
Grand Canal Royal Blue is a beautiful landscape print of deep contrasting blue, yellow and gold which adds immediate impact to any interior.

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.
