The story behind the photo
Above Cap Canaille on the Provençal coast, one of the highest sea cliffs in Europe, a single umbrella pine has taken on a shape that looks drawn rather than grown, its flattened crown holding still against a Mediterranean sunset of orange, blue and violet. Below, the sea carries the same colours in a soft, shifting reflection that leads the eye out towards a distant island on the horizon.
The pines on this cape grow flat-topped and pushed sideways, and against a low sun they stop being trees and become shapes. I worked the frame until the branches of this one read clearly as a silhouette without touching the edge of the picture, then waited for it to sit exactly between the sun and the water before releasing the shutter.
Exposing for the sky leaves the tree as a pure black outline, which reads almost like a piece of calligraphy: one clean stroke holding the whole composition together. That outline is what years of wind on an exposed cape have been quietly drawing.

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.
