Threaded With Mist

Val d'Orcia · Autumn

Ground-level inversions pool between the rolling hills of the Val d'Orcia at dawn, the mist threading between tree lines and farmland as the sky ignites above the distant Apennine ridge. Shot from altitude, the layered recession of fog, hill and cloud gives the scene its depth. Autumn colour is still emerging in the canopy below.

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

Aerial view of a regenerating hillside forest above Arco da Calheta, Madeira, where bleached standing deadwood rises through spring fog alongside vivid new-season understorey growth. The interplay of pale skeletal trunks against emergent green, softened by rolling cloud, gives the scene an uncommon graphic tension. A single bird — faint in the mist — anchors the scale without demanding attention.
After the Fire From £55
A vivid primary rainbow descends into dense mixed woodland above the Thames Valley, viewed from elevation on an unsettled May afternoon. Rain still falls visibly at mid-distance while low sun catches the canopy, creating a sharp tonal divide between lit and shadowed tree cover. The elevated vantage compresses the rolling patchwork of fields and woodland into a single plane beneath the arc.
Rainbow Over the Weald The Chilterns From £55
A temperature inversion buries the Thames Valley beneath a flat sea of cloud at dusk, the gibbous moon suspended in a sky grading from powder blue through rose to lavender. Shot from elevation above Abingdon-on-Thames, the compression between cloud ceiling and clear upper atmosphere creates a horizon line of unusual stillness. The near-total absence of hard edges gives the frame a quality closer to watercolour than photography.
Moon Above the Cloud Sea The Chilterns From £55
A primary and secondary rainbow descend into a boreal pine forest on the Cairngorm plateau as a curtain of virga sweeps across the massif. The aerial vantage isolates the full arc against a bruised cumulonimbus base, with snow-capped summits visible through a break in the weather to the east. Spring snowpack on the high ground confirms the season.
Virga and Two Rainbows Cairngorms National Park From £55
A vivid primary rainbow terminates above boreal forest in the Cairngorms, its arc set against the dark mass of a fast-moving convective storm. Snow-patched mountains anchor the middle distance while virga curtains the left frame, the aerial vantage isolating the optical phenomenon with unusual clarity.
Rainbow Over Cairngorms Cairngorms National Park From £55
A virga curtain sweeps across the Cairngorm plateau as a vivid rainbow grounds itself at the forest edge near Aviemore. The juxtaposition of precipitation shaft, snow-patched summit, and saturated spectral arc within a single frame captures a fleeting atmospheric collision rarely framed with such compositional weight. Aerial elevation compresses the layers — boreal forest, moorland, mountain and sky — into a single dramatic plane.
