Every print in the catalogue starts in the field and ends on a wall, made to order. This is the process in between.
The capture
Each piece begins with exploration: hours over maps, location scouts, and long walks in to places that people cherish. Stephen photographs on medium format, a discipline carried over from his film years on a Mamiya 7, where every frame had to be chosen with care. The capture waits for the light, the weather and the moment to agree.
Black and white
The catalogue is fully black and white. Removing colour simplifies each scene to mood, texture and tone, and those contrasts are what carry the emotional connection. Each file is edited by hand to bring out that structure before it goes anywhere near a printer.
Two finishes
Every piece is printed on genuine ILFORD black and white photographic paper by our specialist fine art labs, and offered in two archival finishes. ILFORD is the classic choice of black and white photographers for its clean whites, deep blacks and smooth tonal gradients.
Under Acrylic Glass. The photograph is face mounted behind gallery acrylic glass with a lasting silicone seal, on a stable Alu-Dibond backing. Matte for a glare free gallery surface, or glossy for extra depth. Deep blacks and real dimension.
On Alu-Dibond. The photograph is bonded to a lightweight aluminium panel and sealed with a protective film that guards against UV, moisture and time. Matte for a soft reflection free look, or glossy for intense contrast. Clean, contemporary and built to last.
The frame
Each finish is set into a frame hand crafted to order in the lab's own framing workshop. The hardwood Basel floater holds the print with a fine shadow gap so it appears to float. The slim aluminium Slimline case sits just off the wall with concealed hanging rails. The aluminium ArtBox lifts the image forward in a glazed box frame. Every frame arrives with its hanging system fitted, ready for the wall.
Made to order
Nothing sits in a warehouse. Each piece is produced within 5 to 7 days by a specialist fine art lab: WhiteWall in Germany for Europe, the United Kingdom and North America, and PCL Imaging in Auckland for New Zealand and Australia, then checked by hand before it leaves the lab. Among our labs, WhiteWall is a multiple TIPA World Awards winner, named Best Photo Lab for its black and white printing.
Where your print is made
Every artwork is photographed on location and hand edited in New Zealand. Printing and framing are then carried out at the lab serving your region, and your finished piece ships direct to your door.
To your door
Shipping is free worldwide on every artwork. Your piece travels tracked, in art secure specialty packaging built for fine art, and arrives ready to hang: no framer to visit, no glass to fit, nothing further to arrange. Delivery is a short production time, the same wherever you are, followed by tracked shipping to your door. Estimated delivery times by region are in the FAQ.
And a simple promise: if your piece arrives damaged or defective, it is remade at no cost or fully refunded. For everything else about delivery, including customs and taxes for your country, see the shipping policy.
Your finished large wall art
A finished piece is more than a print on a wall. It becomes part of a room and part of a routine: the view you settle into at the end of the day, the memory of a place you once stood, the first thing a guest asks about. Made once and made well, it is meant to stay with you for a lifetime.
These are real collectors' walls, photographed in their own homes.
