The story behind the photo
Seen from the other side, the same headland becomes a corridor. I moved in close to the opening and framed upright, with the rock rising on the left and the boulder field running away beneath it towards the light: less a window this time than a way through.
The composition is a diagonal. The line of stones enters at the bottom right and climbs towards the gap, and the whole mass of the cliff leans over it from above. I wanted the picture to feel like something you are inside rather than something you are looking at.
The exposure sits low, as it has to when the only light source is a sky seen through a hole. The granite keeps just enough detail to read as granite, and the boulders in the middle ground pick up a thin warm edge that traces the route to the opening.
I came back to this headland three evenings running, from a different angle each time. The place is small enough to walk across in two minutes and deep enough that I still have not finished with it. That is usually the sign of a good subject.

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.
