KUAOTUNU DAWN

Edition Size: 50 Signed & Numbered Prints
Location: Kuaotunu Beach, Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand

Kuaotunu is one of my favorite beaches on the Coromandel Peninsula and I was especially lucky on this particular morning to be met with stunning dawn light and a full moon out on the horizon. After shooting a few different perspectives I was drawn to the strong composition offered by these trees on the rocky end of the beach. Setting up my equipment and shooting a long exposure to capture the movement of the waves I was thrilled with this dramatic photograph.

Landscape Photography of New Zealand

Photographing the New Zealand landscape has been my passion for over two decades, taking me on an incredible journey. I’m constantly exploring new, often off-the-beaten-track locations, and love the challenge of following the light to discover another amazing scene. Today, my work is available as limited edition artworks through selected Galleries and online. I also run Photography Tours, offering photography enthusiasts to join me on unforgettable photographic adventures.

INFORMATION

Archival Cotton Rag Print

Printed on museum-grade Canson Infinity cotton rag paper using pigment inks for maximum archival permanence. The softly textured surface gives a painterly, matte finish with rich, accurate tones and deep detail. Each print is personally proofed and produced to the highest standards, ideal for those wanting a timeless fine-art piece.


Archival Canvas Print

Printed on a premium archival cotton–poly blend canvas and sealed with a UV-protective coating for lasting longevity. The fine matte texture enhances depth and tonal richness, giving the image a soft, painterly feel with excellent colour fidelity.
Each piece can be float-framed for a beautifully finished presentation, or stretched for a clean, contemporary frameless look. Perfect for interiors seeking an elegant artwork with warmth, texture, and enduring clarity.

Fujiflex Crystal Archive Facemount

A high-gloss photographic print with exceptional sharpness and vibrancy, produced on Fujiflex Crystal Archive media and face-mounted to clear acrylic. The process gives a sense of depth and luminosity that brings the image to life. The frameless design and hanging system allows the artwork to seemingly 'float' off the wall, creating a modern and striking presence in any space

Each Limited Edition Print is individually produced to order, personally signed and numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

LEARN MORE ABOUT FINE ART PRINTS

Through servicing customers for over 20 years I have learnt a great deal about the framing process and have refined this to a standard online offering and then an additional offline bespoke service.

Standard Online Service

I offer the choice of three classic frame moldings as standard options - Black, Roma 'Natural' Timber and White. These have been chosen as they are clean, simple and timeless moldings designed to compliment the artworks.

A mat-board is placed around the artwork extending to the frame, which adds to it's overall size and appearance. Generally speaking a slightly wider mat-board is used for larger prints which adds again to the overall size and impact of the framed artwork. All materials used are of the highest standard and acid free, ensuring the longevity of the print.

Finally your framed print is finished with a specialised UV Art Glass popular with galleries and museums and renowned for it's anti glare and high clarity rating.

It goes without saying that each framed artwork is designed to be quite stunning.

Bespoke Offline Service

Additional to the options available above I offer a full bespoke framing service whereby I am able to work with you to find the perfect solution for your space.

This often includes 'mocking-up' finished framed options onto photo's that you send me to give you a realistic idea of what the final framed artwork will look like.

I can consult on the vast framing options available and have created many beautiful finished pieces for clients with very stylish Boden frames or hand made Italian Bellini frames as examples.

Additionally I work with clients on other options which I have used many times over the years such as Fujiflex (framed or Acrylic Face Mount) and canvas (stretched or box-framed). Also non-standard print sizes can be created etc

Any additional cost is communicated clearly and this process is managed personally with you.

Further information on the consultation service can be found in the Consultation Tab.

Print Sizes:

The sizes listed in the selection panel refer to the actual image size — the dimensions of the photographic image itself.

Additional borders:

  • All fine art prints include an additional 5cm white border around all sides. This border provides space for matting and framing, and is where the print is signed and numbered.

Unframed Prints

After final inspection your artwork is carefully rolled into a steady tube and sent to you by tracked, signed and fully insured courier.

This is a good way for you to receive your print and have it framed locally at a time that suits you - recommended care and framing instructions are included for your framer.

I want you to have complete certainty in the artwork arriving in perfect condition so in the very unlikely event that the artwork is damaged while in transit, I will have it collected, and a new print issued and sent back to you at no additional charge.

International clients please be aware that you are responsible for any import duties that may be applied.

Framed Prints

Framed prints are available for New Zealand customers, allowing you to receive your completed artwork and hang it directly in your chosen place and enjoy.

I want to ensure that your framed artwork arrives in perfect condition so I use specialised artwork packaging and reliable and fully insured couriers.

It is highly recommended for international customers that artworks be purchased unframed, and framed locally. If you explicitly want your artwork framed and shipped internationally please contact me for shipping options.

A Limited Edition Print means a fixed number of prints will ever be produced of that image. I personally oversee every step of production, using the finest archival materials and museum-grade printing methods. The result is a stunning artwork that is built to last.

All prints are made with premium materials and printing methods, designed to be passed down through generations. To ensure longevity, avoid hanging prints in direct sunlight and follow the included care instructions.

No. Once an edition has sold out in its entirety, no additional prints will be produced. Each edition size is absolute and guaranteed.

Photographs may vary in format depending on the camera used. I’ve used panoramic film cameras (6 x 12 cm and 6 x 17 cm) and medium format digital cameras (100 MP), which create different image ratios. Stitching digital images can also alter the final ratio slightly.

Limited Edition Prints are made to order. Standard delivery usually takes around three weeks. If you need your artwork sooner, please contact me — I’ll do my best to accommodate your timeframe.

Yes — many clients request bespoke sizes to suit specific wall spaces. I can provide guidance to ensure the print maintains its image quality and proportions.

Yes — professional framing is available as an offline service after your print purchase (for clients in New Zealand). I can help you select the style, finish, and size to create a fully finished, ready-to-hang artwork.

Absolutely — my prints are ideal for homes, offices, and professional interiors, delivering a striking visual impact wherever they’re displayed.

I offer three main types of fine art prints: Archival Cotton Rag, Archival Canvas, and Fujiflex Crystal Archive Facemount. These options showcase your chosen image beautifully, but there are many other possibilities available - please contact me to discuss any custom requests or alternative materials.

Yes — I provide virtual mock-ups for clients who want to preview a framed artwork in their space. Simply send photos of your wall and the artwork you’re considering, and I’ll create a realistic visual guide.
