About this work

Ascension is a free-floating fine art metal print released as a strictly limited edition of only seven pieces worldwide. This exclusive contemporary artwork Ascension combines conceptual photographic art with advanced digital compositing to produce a visually arresting and immersive statement piece.

Each element was individually photographed and meticulously layered in Photoshop, with precise attention to depth, colour, and texture. The result is a powerful visual narrative that draws the viewer in and continues to reveal new details over time.

How it is made, and what you receive

Built, not captured
Every element is photographed separately, then layered and worked in Photoshop until the scene holds together as one image.
No AI, no stock images
Every photograph in every composite was taken by me. Nothing here is generated, and nothing is bought in from a library.
Printed on metal
The image is infused into a ChromaLuxe aluminium panel rather than laid on top of it, which is what gives these prints their depth and luminosity. Paper cannot do it.
Signed and numbered
Each print is signed, numbered within its edition, and sent with a certificate of authenticity.
Made to order
Nothing sits in a warehouse. Your print is produced when you order it, which takes about two weeks, then shipped insured.
