Cathedral Rock, Kiama

“A photograph isn’t real until you can touch it.” This is a quote by...umm... me
This picture is important to me for several reasons.
Firstly, it wasn't easy to get to the place where the waves washed through without washing me away (and still make an interesting picture). Secondly, choosing a composition when using a very wide lens pointed down is always fiddly. Even more so when trying to show detail in the distance. Being off by a few millimetres can completely ruin a picture. So technically and physically, I am pleased with my efforts.
More importantly, this image's significance lies in how ‘wet’ it looks when printed on thick cotton rag paper. I’m proud to say that, at least on this occasion, I did my job well. I chose the best equipment and techniques to match my creativity, skill, and experience.
Bumping up the contrast and saturation is excellent for boosting love on Instagram or 500px. Printing images on metallic paper and mounting them behind high gloss acrylic adds a lot of bling.
To me, though, printing on real paper is when an art lover can properly hold the pixels. It is the next best thing since capturing on film and printing directly from a negative. And not so easy to thumb swipe away. #3055
Every picture I have made encapsulates the essence of my story. Whether it is intricate details, obscure abstracts, or expansive vistas, each piece is unique. The artistry in my archival, museum-quality prints is crafted to evoke emotion and capture moments in time.
This Limited Edition is available in three sizes, with a maximum of five prints plus up to two Artist Proofs.
