A simple decision to drive 1,000 kilometres into the New South Wales outback left me in complete awe of this incredible Country.
I travelled to Mungo National Park in the hope of photographing the full moon rising over the ancient landscape of Lake Mungo. The Willandra Lakes region is a World Heritage site of immense cultural significance. It is where the remains of Mungo Man and Mungo Lady, dated to around 40,000–42,000 years ago, were discovered — profound evidence of the long history of Aboriginal people on this land.
When I arrived, the heat was searing — around 45 degrees. It felt like walking into an oven, but I was eager for moonrise. By sunset the mood had changed. Dark skies gathered and the wind picked up dramatically, whipping sand through the air. That was the end of the plan for day one.
Not one to give up, I explored the other side of the lake the next day, where sculpted dunes and ancient formations have been shaped by wind and rain. The mission had shifted from photographing the moonrise to simply hoping for a sunset. High, wispy clouds gave me a reason to stay. I took my time finding a composition that did justice to the landscape, then the sky exploded with colour so intense it almost looked unreal. It was one of the best sunsets I’ve witnessed, and seeing it unfold over a place with so much history left me in awe.
Exclusive Edition — 50 numbered prints total across all sizes and finishes.
MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION
How the artwork is made.
From the paper beneath the image to the frame around it, each detail changes how a photograph feels on the wall. Explore the four presentations, then open the technical notes for specifications and care.
01 / THE FOUNDATION
The photograph, made tangible.
The paper is part of the photograph’s character. In print, delicate shifts of light, subtle shadow detail and the texture of a landscape can be appreciated at the scale they were intended to be seen.
- Detail, depth and tonal transitions
- Archival paper · artwork-specific stock
Construction, specifications & care
Fine-art prints are made to order in the size selected. Paper surfaces differ in texture, reflectivity and the way they reproduce tonal transitions. Where a listing specifies Hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320gsm, that artwork is described as using an archival cotton-based paper with a subtle pearl finish. Exact paper and border specifications depend on the individual work; the studio can confirm them before production.
Archival materials are designed for longevity, but light, moisture and handling still matter. Avoid direct sunlight and damp areas; handle unframed prints by their edges. The paper texture pictured is an illustrative preview.
02 / GALLERY COLLECTION
A frame that gives the work room to breathe.
A contemporary gallery frame completes the photograph without competing with it. A complementary mat creates separation between the image and the room, while the slim outer profile keeps the focus on the artwork.
- Black + Black · White + White · Natural Oak
- Slim moulding · considered mat proportions
Construction, specifications & care
Choose Black + Black for a dark, immersive surround, White + White for a clean architectural finish, or Natural Oak with a white mat for a softer timber edge. Your finish is recorded with your order. Mat proportions, glazing, exact moulding dimensions, hanging details and the finished outside measurements are confirmed for the chosen size.
Framed outside dimensions are larger than the image dimensions. The previews help compare styles, but actual moulding, mat and glazing details are confirmed for production; ask if you need precise wall-space measurements.
03 / PREMIUM FRAMING
More depth. A sculptural presence.
For a more distinctive, furniture-like presence, premium Bellini-spec framing gives the artwork a deeper, sculpted edge. Black veneer, warm walnut and soft white each bring a different character to the surrounding space.
- Black Veneer · Warm Walnut · White Premium
- Bellini-spec profiles · individually quoted
Construction, specifications & care
Premium framing differs from the Gallery Collection through its deeper sculpted profile and surface finish. Each style is individually quoted: the final moulding, mat, glazing, mounting details, availability and completed dimensions are confirmed for the specific work and size, before any production commitment.
A deep black veneer with a subtle satin sheen and sculpted profile, paired with a dark mat.
A rich medium-dark walnut veneer with visible grain and a sculpted profile, paired with a dark mat.
A soft white sculpted profile with a white mat, giving the work a lighter but still substantial finish.
Premium framing is not automatically included in the online Gallery Frame price. The studio will confirm the finished specification, price and any specialist delivery requirements with you.
04 / ACRYLIC FACE MOUNT
The image, with nothing around it.
For a clean frameless look, the photograph is mounted behind a polished acrylic front. Without a conventional outer moulding or mat, the work reads as a single, uninterrupted image on the wall.
- Polished acrylic · frameless finish
- Rigid backing · concealed mount
Construction, specifications & care
With acrylic face mounting, the print sits behind a transparent acrylic surface and is supported by a rigid backing and a concealed hanging system. This is a complete presentation, rather than a standard framed photograph with removable glazing. Acrylic thickness, backing construction, hardware and outside dimensions are specified for the selected size.
Acrylic reflects some room lighting, so consider windows and direct light when choosing where to hang it. Clean only with suitable soft materials. The pictured acrylic edge is an illustrative preview.

THE EDITION
Understanding the editions.
Edition size describes how many physical prints of a photograph may be offered. The print size or framing choice does not start a new edition.

What is an artist’s proof (AP)?
Some photographs separately list artist’s proofs, identified as AP. When specified, these are separate from the regular numbered edition. AP allocations differ by artwork; the studio can confirm the details for a particular photograph.
