IDLESS WOODS ISOLATION
In early spring, I headed to the beautiful Idless Woods in mid-Cornwall with my camera, ready to see the progress of the bluebells that carpet the woodland floor here every year. Though the first few violet flourishes were starting to appear, it was still a bit early for the full bloom, so I turned my search elsewhere for inspiration. Walking through the woods, a clearing in the trees highlighted my subject: a singular tree set aglow by the late afternoon sun, strung with ivy and surrounded by pockets of bluebells.
Taking centre stage in the middle of the clearing, this solitary tree was set apart from its cast and illuminated by a golden spotlight, highlighted as the low sun shone through the trees. With the rest of the scene in shadow, it made for a striking vision against the umbrageous depths of the woodland. Positioning the tree just off centre, I was able to capture the length of the sunray as it cut through its narrow woodland corridor, across the grassy floor and up the tree – almost as if it had been painted onto the frame.

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.
