The story behind the photo
The tufa wall is entirely upholstered in moss and the spring runs out through all of it, so the falls arrive in a dozen separate threads and land in a pool the colour of bottle glass. I framed from downstream, level with the water, to keep that pool in the picture.
The greens do all the structural work. Dark moss on the rock, brighter growth on the ledges, a paler green in the pool itself: three values of one colour, and the white of the water is the only thing that breaks them. I resisted any temptation to warm the image up.
A few seconds of exposure smooths the pool to a plane and turns the threads into a soft vertical grain. The shelves of tufa keep their edges, so the picture has one soft element and one hard one, and neither takes over.
The Jura in early summer is wet, quiet and largely empty, and a place like this is a room made of water. I sat on the bank for a long while before setting up. Some locations demand to be worked; this one only asks to be sat with until you know where to stand.

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.
