THE PHOTOGRAPH

HOW WE MAKE THE PICTURE

We build everything ourselves in the gallery. The photograph is printed on the very best archival matte canvas, hand coated in a matte varnish we import from America, and then left flat to dry for a few days. This means the picture can be cleaned with a damp cloth, and the great thing about a matte finish with no glass is that you have no distracting glare or reflections. It's a much more direct experience.

Whilst the print is drying we can get on with making the stretcher frame and the tray frame that the finished canvas will drop into. The tray frame is then either hand painted or stained and waxed. The canvas is then stretched over the stretcher frame so we can assemble the whole piece and add a wire for hanging the picture.

Finally Neil writes the days weather forecast in silver on the canvas, along with the longitude and latitude of the location the photo was taken. Also signing front and back  adding the title and edition number.

We use the very best materials, and I would expect my pictures to look exactly the same in 100 years. They won't fade in our lifetime.
