Country Road

Country Road

I’m often asked if Country Road is a painting, or even photoshop creating a fantastical scene too beautiful to be real. However it’s an image that I have barely touched. Once again I left Brisbane around 2-3am to be in the dividing range in time for the morning fog on sunrise. This was a random road I travelled down, and the colours and light in the moment were beautiful and pastel. Photographers are somewhat compelled to edit their images – especially if they shoot in RAW, basically a digital film format. In this format you capture the maximum amount of data from a scene, but the immediate result isn’t as aesthetically pleasing as a picture already edited by your camera. Because of this; editing is often a certainty. However in this instance every change simply took away from the simplicity and feel of what made the scene special. So it is presented as it was seen and as it was captured. Simple perfection given by nature, the country road allowing us to imagine what could be in future.

Open Edition
Prints in the Open Edition are held to an exceptional standard of quality, creativity and craft that make them suitable for any home or workplace. Each Open Edition print is digitally signed and represents excellent value. Open Editions are printed on the same high-quality finishes as our Deluxe prints.

Fine Art Papers
Our prints are created using beautiful fine art cotton rag paper. The paper holds rich colours as well as subtle detail and is a perfect pairing for our photographic art. The museum grade paper meets ISO 9706 Paper Aging Resistance to ensure an archival grade print, suitable for handing down through generations. We recommend liaising with your local framer about how to match your frame, matting and glass to best suit your print, your home, and your décor. All paper prints come rolled in a heavy-duty tube to protect them. The measurements supplied are of the outer dimensions of the paper. Each print contains a white border between 5-10cm, depending on size, for the purposes of presentation and framing.

Float-framed Canvas Prints
Our Canvas prints have beautiful texture and richness and come framed and ready-to-hang in your home or workplace. The canvas is of excellent quality with a fine texture and excellent archival ratings, and together with the pigment inks, have been lab tested to last over 100 years without fading when displayed suitably. Stretcher bars are from environmentally friendly regrowth forest in Australia and New Zealand. We strictly avoid timber from non-regrowth forests and timbers with high tannin and tannic acid in order to preserve the environment and the archival quality of the canvas. Float-frames come in several finishes. You can view these finishes on our Print Information page. Once you order the Float-framed canvas of your choice, we will be in contact directly to confirm your choice of frames.

Aluminium
Aluminium prints are luminous, contemporary and robust. Chromaluxe aluminium panels are made with recycled material and are 100% recyclable. Archival inks are infused into a durable and scratch-resistant surface via a heat press process. Aluminium prints can be cleaned with a glass cleaner, are light-weight and long-lasting. This makes them perfect for those wanting a modern finish for their home, or for art pieces that will be in more challenging environments such as a busy kitchen, or bathroom.

Postage
Postage to Australian and New Zealand addresses is free! If you are an international purchaser, please order your print as usual (or contact us in advance) and we will send you a quote for the postage of your selected prints.
