About the prints

For me, printing is the end of the photographic journey. You've done all the hard work, edited the files and reviewed them. Seeing the photograph come out of the printer is the reward. The depth of colour from a printed photograph beats seeing it on a screen a hundred times over. Bring the story and this experience home with you with a fine art print from my portfolio.

Bluebells at Sunrise Printed on A4
Bluebells at Sunrise printed on A4 Fotospeed paper, editioned, titled & signed.

Each fine art print from my website is printed by me at home on my Canon Pro-1000 professional printer. To ensure the best prints possible, I use Fotospeed paper. This is archival grade paper, ensuring accurate colour representation. I then sign, edition and package the prints and get them posted to you. With this in mind, please allow up to 10 days for dispatch. If there will be any further delay to this, I will let you know via email - such as if I am on a trip away and it will be longer for dispatch.

If you do have specific requirements please let me know via the contact me form, and I will endeavour to solve any queries or requests. For example, if you need the print quickly for a special occasion, just let me know, and I will try my best to make it happen!

Not everything I’ve photographed is in the shop. If you’ve seen something on Instagram, in a gallery here, or at an exhibition that isn’t listed, just ask.

Why there's a border

The print will come with a white border around the photo to allow space for editioning and signing. This will also make it easier when you come to frame & mount your photograph, giving some flexibility. I sign the prints in an archival permanent marker, so it'll never fade.

Signing and editions

Every print is signed by hand in the lower border. Where a photograph is issued as a limited edition, each print is numbered, and once the last number has sold I never print that photograph at that size again. I print, sign and pack every order myself.

More from this collection

A temperature inversion fills the Thames Valley lowlands with layered fog, isolating copses and conifer ridgelines as dark silhouettes against luminous white. Shot from elevation above Henley-on-Thames in late January, the compression of a long focal length stacks the receding planes into near-abstract bands of tone. A church spire emerges faintly at mid-distance, the sole human measure in an otherwise elemental scene.
Copses and Ridgelines The Chilterns From £55
Leafless beech and understory shrubs recede into dense winter fog in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire, the tonal recession creating a natural layering from dark foreground trunks to pale dissolved canopy. A low-branching suppressed tree at centre-right anchors the composition against the vertical rhythm of the surrounding stems. The monochrome conversion amplifies the mist's diffusing effect, stripping the scene to structure and tone.
Recession in Grey The Chilterns From £55
Bare beech trunks recede into dense fog on a still January morning in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire, the cool blue cast of pre-dawn light flattening the woodland into successive planes of tone. Fallen leaf litter on the forest floor anchors the foreground, while the mist erases all distance beyond the middle canopy. The restrained palette and rhythmic spacing of the trees give the scene a graphic quietness rarely achieved without a clear structural accident.
January Blue The Chilterns From £55
A beech branch clings to its final rust-coloured leaves against a fog-filled interior of Chilterns woodland in Oxfordshire, the background reduced to pale vertical columns of unseen trunks. Captured in the blue-grey stillness of a January morning, the image draws tension from the contrast between the intricate tracery of bare twigs and the scattered warmth of unreleased autumn foliage.
Clinging On The Chilterns From £55
A small cluster of bare-branched trees crowns a rounded hilltop as ground fog rolls across the mid-distance, backlit by low winter dawn light that saturates the scene in deep amber. The silhouetted treeline of a wood in the background adds a second horizontal layer, reinforcing the sense of depth within the inversion. The dark foreground slope anchors the composition and throws the illuminated fog bank into sharp relief.
Fog Rolls Under Brightwell Barrow From £55
A small copse on Brightwell Barrow, near the Wittenham Clumps in Oxfordshire, emerges from a shallow temperature inversion across the farmland, January 2026. Low winter sun catches the fog from the east, reducing the landscape to a single silhouetted subject against a field of luminous amber. Tractor lines in the crop below anchor the image to the agricultural plain being consumed by the mist.
