HALLSTATT WINTER GLOW
Hallstatt is a small Austrian town nestled between the shores of Lake Hallstatt and the precipitous slopes of the Dachstein massif. Surrounded by mountains and peppered with impossibly picturesque houses that are all coated with thick layers of sugary snow in winter, this lakeside idyll sets the perfect scene for photographic exploration. One particular vantage point in Hallstatt provides far-reaching views over the town, lake and mountains beyond – and it was here that I found myself one late afternoon, just in time for the sun to find a gap in the clouds.
Creating hugely atmospheric visuals, in this moment the sun’s light illuminated the clouds which loomed over a nearby mountain – simultaneously throwing a warm mantle over the mountain face and accentuating its rocky crevices and jagged lines. The transition of colour between the sun’s warm glow and the almost monochrome mountain made for the perfect subject for the lens, while the feathery, snow-coated whisps of trees really lent a sense of scale. Emphasising the raw nature of the scene is the black scar of exposed rock that runs diagonally across the frame. Just out of reach of the sun, it creates a sense of depth and also reflects the formidable, impregnable nature 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.
