Presence and Absence #3
Presence and Absence #3
From almost the very start of my interest in photography, I have been making diptych, triptych and multiple-frame images. They are often not planned beforehand, but suggest themselves to me in situ when I am making pictures or present themselves to me later on the light box or the contact sheet – previously on film or paper but nowadays as digital files.
The idea is used to tell a short story, to show action or movement in the way of a mini film-strip, to re-order and re-present location and time. In some cases, the idea utilises aspects of photography’s own intrinsic double language, the negative and the positive, and the mirror image.
Excepting the latter cases, all the composite images are made from separate pictures on individually exposed sheets or frames of film or digital files.
The subject matter is deliberately not restricted to any one particular genre or photographic process.

About the print
The C-Type print is made on Fuji Crystal Archive paper by specialist printers Spectrum Photographic. Every print is provided with a white border around the image in order that you can frame or hang the print as you choose.
Each print is individually numbered, with the image and print date, and signed on an accompanying Certificate of Authenticity.
Orders for prints are all supplied unframed as, as well as avoiding additional transport costs, the style of frame or other hanging method is I believe down to the personal taste of each collector.
Your print will be carefully packaged in Kraft paper and posted to you in a strengthened tube to ensure that it reaches you in perfect condition.
I will endeavour to complete your order within 7 working days. UK deliveries are via courier or Royal Mail Tracked and the aim is to get your print to you in 1 to 2 days after collection. All European mainland and international deliveries are shipped by either FedEx, DHL, UPS or TNT and the expectation is for your print to arrive within 7 days after despatch depending on your location.
