About this work

The main square of the town Eva walks into in Book One of The Imaginarium Trilogy. A clock tower stands at the centre of the frame, the cobbles are still wet, and the whole street has turned out — goggles, brass, top hats, a hundred small conversations you are not part of. Two airships hang in the cloud above the rooftops.

It is built from dozens of separate photographs: the architecture, each figure, the sky. The panorama is deliberately wide so that your eye has to travel across it, the way it would if you were standing at one end of a real street. Most people find somebody new in it every time they look.

Limited edition of just 7 worldwide. Three remain.

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.
