The story behind the photo
The boardwalk along the Tagus at the Parque das Nações, with the cable car running overhead, three people walking away from the camera and the Vasco da Gama bridge crossing the river in the distance. The perspective runs the whole depth of the frame.
Everything here converges: the planks of the boardwalk, the white railing, the line of cable-car pylons, the far bank. I put the horizon at mid-height and let the walkway lead in from the bottom of the frame, because the subject is the distance rather than the view.
The light is strong and slightly hazy, which in monochrome separates the planes by tone alone: the rail is white, the walkers are dark, the bridge is a thin grey line. Haze is usually treated as a defect; on an estuary this wide it is the only thing that gives depth.
This quarter was built for the 1998 world exposition on what had been an industrial wasteland, and the bridge in the background is seventeen kilometres long, viaducts and access roads included. Both are the kind of gesture a small country makes when it decides to look outward.
I wanted a photograph about walking towards something too far away to reach, on a day when the air made that literal.

Materials
Hahnemühle fine art papers (Photo Rag, Museum Etching, Fine Art Baryta…), chosen for each photograph.
Print mounted on 3 mm aluminium Dibond: rigid, light, no glazing.
Print set between 3 mm Dibond and an acrylic sheet: richer colour and depth, resistant to UV and humidity.
Framing, optional
For paper prints: white mount and Plexiglas glazing, museum glass optional. The mount puts space between the photo and the frame: a classic, understated look that draws the eye to the image.
For aluminium and acrylic, black or white. A narrow gap separates the photo from the moulding: it seems to hang suspended inside its frame, for a contemporary look.
For aluminium and acrylic: an aluminium structure fixed to the back, invisible once hung. The photo seems to rest on the wall, slightly set off from it.
Delivery and returns

Usually two to three weeks in mainland France and Europe, thirty to forty-five days for the French overseas territories and other countries.
