VIBRANT VENICE
I took a number of long exposure shots during my trip using a tripod and neutral density filters. When I work with water, I often like to experiment with the exposure to smooth out textures, and knowing I would be surrounded by canals, Venice provided a perfect setting to get creative.
Vibrant Venice is my favourite daytime shot because the technique has really emphasised the beautiful cloud patterns drifting over the water. The movement in the sky is balanced by the vibrant reflections in the canal which, thanks to the long exposure, have developed into a smooth sheen that looks spectacular.
I love the micro and macro elements of this image, from the focus and clarity of detail in the buildings, to the expansive surroundings that accentuate the bend and movement of the scene. The dual nature of this photograph holds the eye for much longer, which as a professional photographer is one of my main objectives in my work.

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.
