Artwork description:

A Scottish Highland landscape in black and white. Loch Shieldaig, Wester Ross, shot in August 2017. Just after the passing of a summer storm (and shortly before the arrival of the next storm), a break in the clouds allows a shaft of sunlight to create a sparkling pool on the surface of the loch.

The photograph was created on expired medium format film with a Holga camera...both film and equipment lending an uncertainty and serendipity to the process and outcome. The result is a unique representation and an ethereal effect which evokes historical photographic processes and techniques, although in a sense and to some, the use of film is itself now considered to be a historical process.

Archival C-Type print from a black and white medium format film negative scan. 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. Square format prints are available in the following sizes:

1 x 36x36in print (42x42in with border) - £495.
2 x 24x24in prints (30x30in with border) - £250.
3 x 20x20in prints (22x22in with border) - £175.
4 x 14x14in prints (16x16in with border) - £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.
