Dust with a soft, dry, lint free cloth and avoid glass cleaners or pressure on the surface. See Hanging Instructions and Care & Handling.

Mount Taranaki rises in an almost perfect volcanic cone above the Pouākai Range, on the west coast of the North Island. From the Pouākai Tarns, small alpine pools on the range, the snow-capped peak reflects in still water above the tussock.
Stephen Milner photographed the mountain in medium format in black and white, windswept tussock in the foreground and the cone catching the last light.
Printed to order at a specialist fine art lab and finished by hand:
Available in a full range of square sizes, from small pieces to oversized statement work. Custom sizes on request.
Part of Stephen Milner's New Zealand fine art landscape collection.
First to see new work
New editions are announced to the list before they go public.
Ready to hang
Every piece arrives ready to hang with its mounting system already fitted. All you add are two screws or hooks to suit your wall.
The Basel frame
Hanging hardware fitted to the reverse.
No frame
Aluminium rails fitted to the back, around all four edges on the larger pieces.
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 it is face mounted under matte acrylic glass, the finish that holds the tonal range best. Archival, made to order and built to outlive us.
The finish
Your photograph is face mounted behind gallery acrylic glass on a rigid 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 throughout, for a glare free gallery surface
✓ The acrylic shields your print from UV, moisture and dust
✓ Finished in a Basel floater frame, in black matte, white, natural oak or walnut, or supplied with no frame at all
The frames
Black matte
The classic. Disappears into the image and lets the photograph lead.
White
Lightest of the four. Suits pale walls and bright, minimal rooms.
Natural oak
A warm, pale timber that softens a contemporary space.
Walnut
A deeper brown that adds weight and grounds the image on a pale wall.
Or choose no frame at all. The same panel, hung on aluminium rails fitted to the back, so nothing surrounds the image.
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.
