MEXICAN RED
Buildings covered in vibrant coloured paints is a regular feature of the Caribbean urban landscape. Whenever I am photographing in this part of the world, I am reminded of how different this appearance is from British culture and architecture. I seek to find the best examples to photograph for my international portfolio.
In Mexico, the perfect opportunity presented itself to capture this brilliant blood-red wall. I wanted a simplistic natural frame to the photographic shot, and angled the camera face-on to accentuate the square concrete surround of the doors. Despite the stark colour-blocking which absorbs much of the shot, there are subtle intricacies in the natural texture of the wall, the details of the bars in the windows, and the delicate hand-painted street sign.
The Mexican Red photography print has a warm spiciness to its tone which complements bold interiors and feature-lead décor. This image prints with exceptional vibrancy, and is well suited to a Spanish-white mount and black frame combination.

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.
