HALLSTATT CHURCH
During my trip to Salzburg, I took some time out of the city to visit Hallstatt. A picturesque town on the western shores of Lake Hallstatt, Hallstatt is particularly famous for its picture-perfect 16th Century Alpine houses and winding alleyways lined with shops and – more temptingly in winter – cafés serving hot drinks and aromatic glühwein. At the centre of the town is a beautiful church, with a striking spire that pierces the sky. A magnet for the eye and lens, it was a natural subject for me as I wandered around the town and explored its various viewing points.
I chose this particular position for my shot as it provided a generous view of the church, as well as the higgledy-piggledy rooves that jut this way and that throughout the town. Behind, the background is just as striking, with the snow-capped mountains overlooking the lake and the town. Fittingly, the bronze and copper hues of the church’s bricks colour-match the light streaking through the sky, while the moody blues of the clouds are in symmetry with the mountains and lake. With the drama of the mountain scenes behind very much in harmony with the winter season, the softer colours of the foreground make the town all the more inviting – encouraging you out of the winter cold.

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.
