My philosophy
My philosophy is simple. I believe that great photography is about “Composition, Light and the Moment.”
Without these essential elements I always feel something is missing from the image. In the context of our ever faster moving planet the still image assumes even greater importance in our lives.

Public space
Whether it is for a municipal building, terminal, hotel, town hall, etc, images here are a guide to help refine your search.
We present here a strictly limited number of images of 950 prints worldwide in the smaller format to 100 only for the largest - once they are gone they are gone for ever.
Just as FERRARI limited the production of the DINO 246 to 4000 units and PORSCHE produced only 323 units of the 959; these became highly sort after collectors’ items. The Pop artist Andy Warhol introduced the concept of multiple copies of the same image back in the sixties in response to the march of consumerism and these now command huge sums whereas the originals are priceless.
In my case, for example, the limited-edition photograph — ‘ANGEL EYES after LEONARDO’ is offered here for comparatively modest sums; whereas outright purchase of the copyright would cost the buyer £5,000,000, and I predict, be familiar to future generations.
THE FUJI ULTRA HD PRINT PROCESS PROVIDES GREATER LIGHT-RESISTANCE AND COLOUR SPACE VOLUME THAN EVER BEFORE.
With the new Professional Archive photo paper, the volume of the colour space has been increased significantly and darker and saturated colours in particular are more brilliant and depicted with more detail.
Through the increased dynamic range and increased maximum density our prints appear more vivid and rich in contrast to conventional photo prints.
Even the modern LED lights now in wide use cannot do these Ultra HD prints harm- an improved resistance to light that ensures the true colours last and last.
So, in sum:
- EVEN HIGHER CONTRAST THROUGH DEEPER BLACK TONES
- MASSIVE LUMINOSITY AND LIGHT RESISTANCE
- INCREASED DYNAMIC RANGE FOR PRECISE LIGHT GRADATION
PRINTS using the Next Evolution of Fuji Crystal Professional Archive Maxima Paper on an Aluminium Mount - This is an amazing technology developed by FUJIFILM of Japan, that delivers truly outstanding quality to the finished photographic print; and I use it exclusively at Adstills.art.
A WORD ABOUT PRESENTATION
If a photograph is to be framed and displayed with a border, I believe that it is better to present the image against a neutral border. So I generally prefer a mid grey colour as opposed to white as the stark contrast detracts from the photograph. (If you insist on a white mount, leave a note in the checkout).
In the same way that you might get for example flair from a light.
The border is there to separate the image from the surroundings and to give it space - it should not disturb the image’s impact on the viewer.
And yes, I know that this has become a ubiquitous method of doing it : particularly with the monochrome image - it has its place, but my responsibility is to give the serious collector my best as I see it.
Certain works at generally larger sizes work well with no border - Piet Mondrian insisted on no framing for his picture plane works, and one would never see a Mark Rothko colour field painting displayed with an edge. However, I have selected just two frames that I feel complete the presentation but don’t interfere with the art work.
SELECTED FRAMES
BLACK ‘BERN’
The first is a simple curved profile of black oak in 20mm and 50mm profiles - classic and unfussy - this is for smaller works.
ARTBOX ALUMINIUM FRAME
The other element is called an Artbox frame in either Black or Silver; this allows the image to ‘float‘ - so it separates the image from the background and provides a clean modern look without drawing attention to itself.
ACRYLIC GLASS
To protect the print I recommend acrylic glass in Matte finish.
We are pleased to be working with the world renown photo lab in Germany who will be undertaking all of our print processing. This award-winning organisation will be tasked with the responsibility of producing prints, under our direction, to the highest possible standards.
We have chosen to use their FUJIFILM technological process with Ultra HD which is able to maximise the quality and resolution of the finished image.
