The wooden footbridge over the Odet, beneath the canopy: baryta paper keeps the depth of the woodland, and the oak frame echoes the timber of the footbridge.

The story behind the photo
Further along the Stangala valley, an old wooden footbridge crosses the Odet river, its timbers worn soft by generations of crossings and half-swallowed by the morning fog. Oaks lean in from both banks until their limbs almost meet over the water, moss climbs the banks and covers bark and boulders alike, and ferns crowd the damp forest floor.
The whole scene has a folded-in-time quality that makes it easy to imagine other travellers, or other, less ordinary creatures, still crossing that bridge today. I framed it so the canopy closes across the top of the picture, and a slow shutter turns the current into a pale thread through all that green. That pale thread is what keeps the eye moving through a composition that would otherwise be a single dense mass.
I waited a long time for the fog to thin just enough to reveal the bridge without losing the mystery around it: that balance where you can tell something is there without being able to fully explain what you are looking at.

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.
