Artwork description:

A study in tones and textures, shot on 35mm film in central Manchester, May 2017. This disused and dirty stretch of the Rochdale Canal cuts right through the centre of the city, the filthy water barely managing to reflect the crumbling decay of the walls hemming it in. This is the city's underbelly, well away from the restored and regenerated canals with their waterside bars and restaurants, where most people never venture. Eerie and quiet, a place with a hint of malevolence, or the possibility of danger...yet a place with a beauty and serenity all its own.

Archival C-Type print from a colour 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.
