Wistman's Wood · Autumn

Veteran gnarled oak trees rise from a floor of moss-smothered boulders in Winstman's Wood on Dartmoor, their gnarled branches interlacing against a canopy still holding amber autumn foliage. The low November sun backlights the upper crown, separating the dark twisted limbs from the warm tonal wash behind. The layering of moss, rock, and branching architecture gives the composition unusual depth for a scene this enclosed.

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.

A temperature inversion smothers the Thames valley near Abingdon at first light, leaving trees in full autumn-to-winter transition stranded above a slow-moving sea of cold fog. A frosted meadow breaks clear to the right, its pale green a quiet counterpoint to the amber and burgundy crowns emerging from the mist. The aerial perspective dissolves conventional landscape geometry, reducing the scene to colour, texture, and atmosphere.
Stranded Above the Cold Thames Valley From £55
A temperature inversion settles across the Thames Valley near Wallingford, submerging hedgerows and fields beneath a continuous white plane while isolated trees in late autumn / early winter colour rise through the fog layer. Shot at low drone altitude, the diagonal ridge of emerging woodland divides the composition, giving structure to an otherwise formless sea of mist. The pale warmth catching copper and amber crowns against the cool tonal frozen ground is what lifts this from record to image.
Copper Above the White Thames Valley From £55
Low autumn sun breaks through a gap in mixed woodland in the Chilterns, Oxfordshire, casting distinct crepuscular rays between two moss-based beech trunks. A carpet of fallen leaves covers the forest floor while backlit golden foliage frames the burst of light. The mist implied by the visible rays adds depth to the receding treeline.
Between Two Beeches The Chilterns From £55
A nadir aerial view over mixed deciduous woodland near Henley-on-Thames records the uneven progress of leaf fall in mid-November, where yellow-gold crowns of oak and field maple sit alongside bare branch structures and the dark cones of retained evergreens. The flat, diffuse light of an overcast morning suppresses shadow and allows the tonal range of the canopy — ochre, buff, pale green and ash-white — to read as near-abstract patchwork.
Patchwork, November The Chilterns From £55
An overhead view of mixed coniferous woodland near Henley-on-Thames in The Chiltern Hills reveals larch crowns turning gold among the evergreen spruce, the interplay of colour forming a natural mosaic across the canopy. Captured in mid-November as deciduous conifers approach peak colour loss, the flat overcast light suppresses shadow and flattens the composition into near-abstraction. The scatter of amber crowns punctuating deep green gives the image its only structural rhythm.
Gold Among the Spruce The Chilterns From £55
A mature deciduous tree photographed directly overhead from altitude above a field near Henley-on-Thames, its bare branch structure radiating outward like a neural network against a disc of amber and ochre fallen leaves. The surrounding cropped grassland, speckled with late wildflowers, frames the canopy as a self-contained form. Captured in mid-November, the image sits at the threshold between late autumn and winter dieback.
