Broom Against Grey

Spring

Flowering broom shrubs stand in vivid contrast against a grove of fog-wrapped eucalyptus, Calheta, Madeira. The mist reduces the tall trunks to pale verticals, compressing depth and lending the scene a quiet graphic weight. Spring colour anchors the lower frame while the forest dissolves behind.

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

Morning fog moves through eucalyptus woodland on the slopes above Canhas, Madeira, softening the canopy into successive planes of green and white. The aerial perspective flattens depth, turning the mist into a graphic field that isolates individual crowns and bare snags. A small flash of red blossom near centre provides the single note of colour in an otherwise subdued palette.
Canhas, Fog Moving From £55
Morning sun catches the upper canopy of a steep eucalyptus and laurisilva forest slope on Madeira, separating sunlit crowns from a misty blue-grey valley below. The diagonal band of illumination creates a natural division between light and shadow across the densely wooded hillside. Captured from altitude in late spring, the image reads as near-abstract despite its documentary clarity.
The Line Between From £55
Morning cloud pools in the valleys below Canhas, Madeira, partially submerging a steep hillside of eucalyptus and laurel. Low sun catches the upper canopy in warm yellow-green against the darker, shadow-held forest above. The aerial vantage compresses the diagonal of the ridge into a single layered plane of mist and woodland.
Canhas Half Submerged From £55
Low cloud pools in a green valley above Calheta, Madeira, partially obscuring a winding track and two small farm buildings. Shot from above the inversion layer, the mist frames rather than conceals the terrain, giving a sense of the valley's scale and isolation. Scattered yellow flowering shrubs punctuate the hillsides.
Two Farms Under Cloud From £55
Dense flowering broom pushes through a eucalyptus plantation as morning fog softens the pale trunks into successive planes of grey. The saturated yellow of the shrubs holds against the muted background, creating a tension between the vivid foreground and the dissolving interior of the wood. Bracken fronds in the lower frame anchor the composition in something quieter.
Yellow in the Plantation From £55
The curved face of the Calheta reservoir dam sweeps across the frame from an aerial vantage, its white concrete wall dividing vivid turquoise water from the scrubland hillside above. A narrow access bridge extends perpendicular to the intake tower, anchoring the geometric composition. Shot in bright overcast light that suppresses shadow and renders the water colour with unusual clarity.
