The Story

Long after the light began to fade, the waves kept moving. The camera simply stayed open long enough to reveal something the eye could not see.

I made this photograph at dusk along the Kaikōura coastline in New Zealand, with the Seaward Kaikōura Range gradually disappearing into the clouds. As the last light softened, I chose a long exposure to capture the movement of the sea in a different way.

The breaking waves dissolved into a veil of mist, while the coastline retained its quiet presence. What would normally be a succession of separate moments became a single, continuous surface.

I have always been drawn to this contradiction in long-exposure photography. The image feels still precisely because the water never stopped moving. Rather than freezing an instant, I wanted to preserve the passage of time.

Printing, Edition & Authenticity

All artworks are professionally produced by WhiteWall, an internationally recognised Fine Art printing laboratory known for its high-quality materials and craftsmanship.

Each presentation uses a carefully selected Fine Art paper:

  • Epson Fine Art Cotton Smooth Natural for unframed paper prints.

  • Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta for Dibond-mounted prints, framed or unframed.

Each size is produced in a strictly limited edition of 15 signed and numbered prints, shared across all available finishes. Choosing a different presentation does not create a separate edition.

Each print is signed and numbered by the artist and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity.

Once the edition of 15 for a given size is complete, the work will no longer be available in that size.

In addition, no more than 30 prints of the same photograph will be produced across all sizes and finishes combined.

Once this overall limit is reached, the photograph will be permanently withdrawn from sale in every size and finish.

Production & Shipping

Each artwork is made to order and professionally produced by WhiteWall.

Shipping costs are calculated according to size, presentation and destination. Delivery times vary depending on the selected configuration and destination country.

Every artwork is securely packaged for safe delivery.
