All prints come with a matt finish and include a white border to facilitate framing. Print only orders take around two weeks to deliver, and are shipped loosely rolled in a sturdy cardboard tube. Once you have received your print, remove it from the tube and store it flat to prevent any long-term furling of the image.

The characteristic texture of canvas gives these photos a tactile, fibrous finish, imbuing them with an almost painterly quality. Often hung without frames, canvas wraps look warm, simple and modern on the wall. Canvas prints come with a matt finish, and are wrapped on a solid wood stretcher frame 40mm deep. The frame is ultra stable, thanks to corners that are triple-reinforced with metal braces. Depending on the image, the print comes with a grey or mirrored edge to the canvas. Please allow up to three weeks for production and delivery of canvas prints.

Our framed prints come ready to hang and are mounted within a natural white mat and finished with art quality acrylic glass that will not break during shipping. We offer 20mm light oak or 20mm black oak as standard, although other framing styles are available on request. Acrylic glass can be dusted with a softcloth and gently cleaned with pure water. Never use glass cleaning products.

Acrylic prints have a clean, modern appearance. Their glossy, precision finish packs a major wow-factor, and they arrive ready to hang. The image is printed on archival photographic paper, then sandwiched between a sturdy aluminium Dibond backing plate and a sheet of acrylic glass. The edges are finished with a floating aluminium ArtBox, a simple, contemporary frame that lifts the arcylic and enhances the impact of your image. The ArtBox is 2.5cm (1 inch) deep and 2mm (0.08 inches) wide, and available in a brushed metal or black aluminium finish. The overall effect is of luminous beauty and timeless gallery quality.

Dunluce Castle was built in the 13th century by the 2nd Earl of Ulster, Richard de Burgh and is one of the finest examples of an Anglo-Norman castle in Ireland. Situated on a narrow promontory and surrounded on three sides by crumbling cliffs it really is a very dramatic location. It was used as a filming location for the TV series Game of Thrones and is managed and cared for by the National Trust. Legend has it that the kitchen collapsed into the sea during a storm taking all of the staff except for a kitchen boy with it. It is true that sections of the castle have collapsed into the sea, however the kitchen is actually still intact. This photo was taken in early June. The location at the base of the cliffs is tricky to access, but is probably the best vantage point for an interesting landscape image of Dunluce. There is a intricate and broken up shoreline of interesting and varied rock textures, and normally some kind of movement in the sea. On this particular evening conditions were really calm so I worked my way out onto a shelf of rock right on the water’s edge where I could use the surge and fall of small waves as a foreground. As is often the case in summer on the North Antrim coast the heavy cloud cover that had built up during the day did not extend far out to sea, and around 9 pm the sun dipped under the cloud and bathed everything in a beautifully warm and golden light. I normally don’t like to either freeze water movement or to mist it out with long shutter speeds. I find capturing some movement blur preserves the feeling of motion and energy in the ocean.
