Comes straight to me, and I answer it myself.

This piece is from Book Two of The Imaginarium Trilogy — a steampunk story told in over 450 original photographic composites. See the rest of the set.

About this work

Patricia Potts has a secret. She lives in a steampunk world where nothing is quite as it seems, and she has learned that the safest place to keep something is behind a perfectly composed face.

This is not a portrait of a woman. It is a portrait of the inner world she guards — where secrets run in silence, and strength is measured not by what she does but by what she chooses not to reveal.

A collaboration with Alice Strange. Limited edition of 7.

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.
