The Godley River braids through a broad glacial valley above Lake Tekapo, in the high country on the edge of Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park. Snow-capped peaks of the Southern Alps rise on either side of the wide riverbed.
Stephen Milner photographed the valley in black and white as a storm advanced, the peaks rising dark above the meandering river.
Printed to order at a specialist fine art lab, in two archival finishes:
Available in three panoramic sizes from 107cm to 196cm wide. Custom sizes on request.
Part of Stephen Milner's New Zealand fine art landscape collection.

The craft
Every piece begins as a true photographic print on genuine ILFORD black and white paper, the material professional darkrooms have trusted for a century, exposed by laser and developed in the classic wet process. From there, choose the finish that suits your space. Both are archival, made to order and built to outlive us.
The finish
Your photograph is face mounted behind gallery acrylic glass on a rigid Alu-Dibond backing, then sealed for life with gallery silicone. The glass draws the eye into the image and gives the blacks remarkable depth.
✓ Luminous highlights and deep, true blacks
✓ Matte for a glare free gallery surface, or high gloss for maximum presence
✓ The acrylic shields your print from UV, moisture and dust
✓ Finished in a Basel floater or a Slimline case
The finish
The same ILFORD photographic print, bonded to a lightweight aluminium composite panel and sealed with a fine matte protective film. No glass and no visible frame required, for a clean and contemporary presence on the wall.
✓ A refined matte surface that stays reflection free in any light
✓ Rigid yet light, so even the largest pieces hang flat and true
✓ Sealed against UV and moisture, made to last for generations
✓ Finished in a Basel floater or an Aluminium ArtBox
The frames
Basel
Hardwood floater frame, black or white. The photograph floats inside the timber with a fine shadow gap.
Slimline
Slim aluminium case, black or silver. Just 5mm deep, with concealed hanging rails.
ArtBox
Aluminium box frame, black or white. Lifts the image off the wall.
Collectors
In their own words, from collectors living with Stephen's original artwork.
This artwork offers a unique capture of one of the greatest landscapes presented on earth. Milner is more than equal to the task, presenting an image that is both memorable and uplifting. Immeasurable visual pleasure.
This artwork captivated us the moment we laid eyes on it. Mystery, almost abstract like, we could feel the force of nature displayed dramatically in all its glory. It invited us into its magic.
When I walked into The Welcome Swallow Gallery, I was instantly impacted by Stephen Milner's artwork of Ruapehu... It now hangs proudly in my lounge and has already had many admirers. Thank you Stephen Milner for sharing your talent.
