Artwork description:

Arguably one of the most recognisable views in Cambridge, King’s College across The Backs. This viewpoint faces East and it was my intention to capture a sunrise image, however, since the buildings are not lit up, the contrast between the sky and the buildings was too great. One very cold February evening I decided to attempt a night shot. The light was very dim from the moonlight and light from nearby streetlamps. However, I decided to photograph a long exposure and hope there was sufficient light. The resulting image took my breath away. It was only afterwards that I noticed there was a dim light inside the Chapel and a mist over The Backs. Long exposures of views that appear too dark can produce rich tones and extremely satisfying images.

This piece of art is a limited edition of 20. This number is the total that will be printed of this photograph. The size and medium will be the same for the whole print run.

A C Type print is a traditional photographic print, usually reserved for colour printing. The print will be on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, which is considered the industry standard for fine art printing. The finish is a semi-matt finish. The print is durable and can be mounted to aluminium, as a diasec or framed.

The photographic paper cannot be signed after printing due to the surface of the paper. However, prior to printing, the print can be signed and numbered underneath the image, which will be printed and not traditionally written in pen or pencil after printing. A certificate of authenticity will be provided alongside the print.

Delivery is listed for UK, however, artwork can be arranged for worldwide delivery. Depending on the destination, any applicable import taxes can be paid prior to export or on import. I have previously sent art to Europe, Asia and the US.
