All prints are produced in-house using professional pigment inks and archival fine art papers. Each photograph is individually printed, inspected, and prepared by me to ensure consistent quality, accurate colour, and long-term longevity.

All prints are supplied as open edition, unmounted prints with a 25 mm (1 inch) white border on all sides.
