Artwork description:

A combination of intent and accident, this photograph was shot with Silberra Panchromatic film, a now-discontinued Russian film with very high sensitivity in the near infra-red range, and a very fine grain which produces beautiful prints.

The very first frame from a roll of film sometimes brings a surprise...while my intention was to photograph the imposing towers of Durham Cathedral against the dramatic shifting light of a typical stormy summer sky, the light leaks and sprocket prints of this 'frame zero' shot combine to shroud the magnificent building in ethereal (or sinister) mystery, and create a unique representation of the captured moment which exists only on this piece of film.

Note: The image was created entirely on the film, in the camera. No digital post-processing has been used.

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.
