The story behind the photo
The same house, a little later, with the sun now above the haze and out of the frame. What is left is a very soft, almost shadowless light, and a sky that runs from pale peach at the horizon to nearly white overhead.
I moved much closer and framed the building and its cypress near the centre, with the rows opening outward from the bottom corners. At this distance the house has weight, the cypress becomes the tallest thing in the picture, and the field turns from a subject into a setting.
Without a sun in the frame there is nothing to expose against, so the whole image sits high and light. That is the point: the plateau spends about twenty minutes in this state every clear morning, and it is the only time it looks gentle.
Two frames, one place, forty minutes apart, and they are not the same photograph. Staying put after the obvious picture has been taken is a discipline I had to learn, and it is where most of my better work now comes from.

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.
