Presgrave Place, Melbourne

I’ve always liked this little back alley. Small, L shaped and cluttered with garbage bins, it runs off Howey Place which is tucked in behind the Manchester Unity building on Swanston Street. I tried shooting it a few different times but never got anything worth printing. Then one day when I was out and about and walking past I saw this little scene and thought 'that looks good' so I asked the guy if I could take a quick shot and he reluctantly said yes. The scene is exactly how I saw it, it’s not set up and I didn’t ask him to pose. Just right place, right time. The black & white version is here.

Note: Both paper and canvas prints come rolled in acid free tissue paper inside a heavy-duty mailing tube (signature is required upon delivery).

The standard sized paper prints - A2, A1 and AO - are designed to fit off-the-shelf frame sizes but for custom framing (like the panorama prints which aren't standard sizes), I'd recommend taking them to a professional framer.

The canvas prints are much harder to do yourself so should also be taken to a framer. All the canvas prints have a mirror wrap edge (sometimes called gallery wrap) which means the image appears to continue around the side of the frame but it's actually a copy of the image, as if the image were held against a mirror. This way none of the image is 'lost' around the side, it just looks that way.

If you have any questions about the prints, the images or anything else, I'm always available through the contacts page.
