Artwork description:

Shot just outside the derelict mill complex which I have been photographing, inside and out, over the last couple of years. The fence on the right forms a divide which separates the still standing part of the building from the decay and demolition behind. From here, it looks dilapidated...but what was once on the other side of the fence has been completely destroyed.

This photograph was shot with a new and experimental 35mm black and white film. Based on the Ferrania motion picture film used by Federico Fellini and many others among the great 20th century Italian directors, Ferrania P30 Alpha has a very high silver content, and produces richly detailed and finely nuanced negatives with impressive contrast, yielding breathtakingly beautiful prints.

Archival C-Type print from a black and white film negative scan, with a wide border for mounting/framing. Signed and numbered on the front in the border, and coming with a certificate of authenticity.

From May 2017, my analogue photographs will be available in a total edition of 10 + 2AP.

1 x 45x30in print (£495).
2 x 30x20in prints (£250).
3 x 24x16in prints (£175).
4 x 18x12in prints (£125).

Sold unmounted/unframed. Please get in touch if you wish to discuss mounting and framing options, or to purchase a different size from that listed here.

Unmounted C-Type prints are produced using a traditional photochemical process, with true photographic paper exposed from the digital scan and then developed. The gallery-quality archival paper used is selected by me as appropriate to the particular photograph from papers manufactured by Fuji, Kodak and Ilford. All prints come with a wide border for easy mounting and framing.

Additional images simulated and for illustration purposes only.
