MULLION COASTLINE
Taken in late afternoon on a cold, wintery day in February, Mullion Coastline captures the effects of strong gusty winds rolling in from the sea and hitting the mainland.
I had wanted to include Mullion harbour walls within the shot, so I made my way higher up the coastal path for a more elevated position. Standing to the north of Mullion, shooting the southern peninsula of Cornwall, I waited for sunset.
Winter sunlight is often a very harsh, bright light that can bleach out its surroundings, and so I decided to shoot with the sun just out of frame. The gusts of wind were making the water choppy and turbulent, and I used my neutral density filter ever so lightly to draw out the feathering of the white water close to shore.
To add some foreground texture and depth to the overall scene, I included the yellow gorse flowers along the coastal path. Once I got home, I decided to colour grade the image to bring the yellow gorse and pale sunlight more in line with each other and create balanced light across the piece.
Mullion Coastline shows the beauty of the Cornish coast in winter, and the natural energy of sun, wind and sea.

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.
