CAPE CORNWALL SUNSET
It was late spring, early summer when I took the coastal path south of Cape Cornwall. Treading bare track underfoot, I followed the undulating flow of the path to reach a vantage point that overlooked the Cape and its iconic chimney stack. Facing back north, I wanted to capture this famous Cornish scene from an uninterrupted aspect, along with the dramatic sunset skies that were painting the horizon as day began its slow transition to night-time.
With the sun out of frame, the overall composition felt rich and quietly dramatic. And, though there were thick clouds hanging in the sky, they had been burnt orange by the sunset and served to add a nice depth and complexity to the scene. To enrich the picture, I used rocks in the midground to frame the landmass of Cape Cornwall and included splashes of colour from flowering gorse to lift the foreground. Showcasing a nice transition of elements, textures and tones, the different stages of the photograph all come together to capture this one scene – all the while leading the eye on a journey to the very tip of the Cape.

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.
