First run of 7of25 prints are now available for all Edition’s
Title: Ash of Nocturne
Location: Coalbrookdale, Shropshire
A haunting, high-contrast exploration of industrial memory, this infrared photograph strips away the familiar colours of the Coalport China Museum to reveal a stark, spectral world. Piercing white foliage clashes violently against a roiling, tempestuous sky, while the dark silhouette of the historic bottle kiln stands as a brooding monument to Shropshire's industrial past. Reflected in the ink-black waters of the canal, the scene captures an intense, almost gothic atmosphere—transforming a relic of labour and fire into a powerful piece of dramatic fine-art.
Title: Iron & Ether
Location: Wrekin, Shropshire
This serene infrared landscape photograph captures Wrekin Reservoir, Shropshire. The weathered metal truss bridge, extending out over the water with its dark, rustic geometric frame, stands out sharply against the soft background textures. On the glass-like surface of the calm water, it creates a perfect mirror image of both the bridge and the surrounding white-toned forest, pulling the eye downward. The dense hillside of trees completely fills the upper portion of the frame; because chlorophyll strongly reflects near-infrared light, the leaves appear glowing white, evoking a surreal winter wonderland aesthetic despite the absence of real snow or frost.
Title: Solitary Echo
Location: Leighton, Shropshire
A classic view of the River Severn as it meanders past the village of Leighton in Shropshire, featuring the prominent standalone oak tree perched at the crest, making for a striking landscape. The image utilises infrared photography, transforming the natural green landscape into a surreal, winter-like dreamscape. The composition masterfully balances the stark, dramatic form of the central tree against the soft, ethereal beauty of the Shropshire countryside and contemplative mood.
