PORTREATH PEPPERPOT SUNBURST
The Daymark that sits atop the cliff overlooking Portreath beach is otherwise known as The Pepperpot, and, as were its intentions, stands out triumphantly against the rugged north facing cliff from both the sand and the sea.
I am always looking for unique landmarks in my photography and The Pepperpot always seems to draw me in when I visit Portreath. For this photography, Portreath Pepperpot Sun Burst, I wanted to give the Daymark a sense of place and in the height of summer there was plenty of colour along the cliff top to choose from. I gave myself plenty of time to find the perfect spot. Manoeuvring my way carefully around the wildlife, I was happy to find a large patch of Heather, close enough to the edge of the cliff where I would still be able to have a clear sight of the tide rolling onto the soft sand below.
I monitored the sun closely and made micro adjustments as it moved behind the Pepperpot, waiting for the perfect moment to capture the sunburst. The shadow of the Pepperpot subtly descends across the frame.
Portreath Pepperpot Sunburst is a vibrant and colourful photograph that makes the Cornish coast alive with beauty.

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.
