Today Is Tomorrow's History
Choosing the right print size for your wall can transform a space, turning a simple room into a stunning showcase of art and personality. Wherever you’re hanging the picture the size of your print plays a crucial role in the overall aesthetic. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you select the perfect print size for your wall.
The Private View for my exhibition with Stephen Kinder, landscape painter, is on this Thursday (February 13th) at the Guildford Institute in Surrey.
Here’s why you should come:
* Meet the artists – we’ll both be there and giving short presentations
* It’s all about affordable art
* 30% of all sales goes to charity
* It’s on just before Valentine’s Day
* It’ll be fun!
Another early morning and another sunrise shoot. This time I headed off to one of my favourite local locations, Chobham Common, although I went to an area I had not been to before. There’s always a risk in doing this as I went with no idea of what I would find, or if there would be anything worth photographing.
There was a certain amount of mist around, which is always a favourite subject of mine, but I struggled to find a composition that worked. Eventually I came across a large pond covered in lilies and, as sunrise was fast approaching, I opted to try and create an image from them.
Minimising my environmental impact on the planet has been something close to my heart since my early days, although the way I think about it has changed as we become increasingly aware of how much damage we are doing, and the ways in which we are doing it.
I now run my main commercial photography business in such a way as to reduce my carbon foot print, as well as reduce other damaging practices such as the amount of plastic used, and you can read more about it on my page about Running A Sustainable Photography Business.
As well as commissioned photography I also sell limited edition prints. I’ve attended various art fairs over the years with mixed success, but the Internet has proved extremely useful for making sales without having to shell out for an expensive stand, pack everything up, hire a van, drive to the fair, unpack everything, hang it up, spend a number of days trying to hawk my wares, and at the end reversing the whole procedure!
