Illuminated, Jounama Creek

from $450.00

Illuminated Tree, Jounama Creek

The trees surrounding my campsite at Jounama Creek appeared unremarkable in daylight and disappeared entirely into the moonless night. Then, by chance, a sweeping LED lamp—moved to better illuminate a campfire meal—briefly revealed their presence. In that fleeting glow, the possibility of a photograph emerged.

After contemplating the hidden scene over steak and wine, I moved the light to draw an image from the surrounding blackness.

I am fortunate to have made this photograph. The following morning, while exploring along the creek, I slipped on frosty ground leaving me unconscious and with a broken hand, ending the trip. Rediscovered and processed two years later, the image stands as a reminder of chance, resilience and the rewards of patient observation.

Imagine this print in your living or corporate space. Its high-contrast detail draws the eye, inviting contemplation of light, texture and natural design.

Edition of just five archival prints made from an original medium format digital negative. Includes signed & numbered Certificate of Authenticity.

‘I make photographs to hang on walls and be appreciated for lifetimes. The soft texture of these bright white papers is integral to how I want you to see and ‘feel’ my work.’

Foley Fine Art Prints are supplied with a signed Certificate of Authenticity. They are expertly crafted to ensure archival quality on Ilford Prestige Galerie Smooth Cotton Rag or Hahnemühle Photo Rag heavyweight paper. The paper size allows for a 20mm white border, but as I treat each scene individually, different pictures may have bespoke crop or form factors. Australia-wide delivery is free via trackable courier, fully insured for damages. Please allow 14-21 days for production and delivery. For Australia-based clients, framing options include dry-mounting your giclée print to an acid-free 5mm foam board with an archival adhesive film. This is then placed in a hand-crafted shadowbox frame made from FSC-certified Australian timber, protected by durable 3mm museum-grade plexiglass. The frame is finished with framer’s tape and stainless steel hanging wire. You can purchase securely with Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Afterpay.
