Paul says…
Taken on my first trip to Antelope Canyon, scenes like this were enough to make me want to return again in future despite the challenges posed by the sheer number of people and photographers all scrambling to the same spot to get ‘the shot’.
Deep inside the slot canyon near Page, Arizona, you find features such as this natural stone surrounded by the stunning colours of rock which has been worn down over thousands of years of flowing water. Too long an exposure and we get people (it’s impossible to get the view empty for that long!) – too short and it just looks dull. 3 seconds was the perfect time, enough to capture the motion of the sand and bring out the rich colours in the formation all around us.
Location: Antelope Canyon, Arizona, USA
Sizes available up to 3m / 10ft – for custom sizing, please contact the studio

Limited Edition Prints: A Buyer's Guide
Perfection that starts with the first click and delivers straight to your front door.
Ultra-high resolution: If you're a photographer, here's what you'll want to know: Each of Paul's photographs have been captured using the most advanced digital camera systems in the world, with medium format resolutions of 80, 100 and 151 megapixels, delivering ultra-high resolution images and stunning levels of detail.
Colour accuracy & Finest papers: Using the very latest in print technology, your image is produced with unparalleled colour accuracy, on the finest archival grade papers available across the industry, then hand-finished and shipped directly to you by specialist courier.
Frame-ready: All prints are delivered frame-ready in a protected roll-case, worldwide. This ensures the print arrives in perfect condition, and it allows you to decide the framing option that best suits your needs.
Bespoke options: For that extra "wow factor", we offer a bespoke Acrylic/Metal mounting option for each image, matching the same high-quality display standards Paul uses in his own gallery - pr@hf - with crystal-clear glazing and lightweight floating frame. Please contact us for more details and pricing of this very special display option.
It begins with a simple promise: "What I see right now".
When you purchase a print, you won't just get the image. You'll also get the back-story on how the shot was taken, along with all the technical settings used at the time.
As a huge advocate for photographic authenticity, Paul uses only the finest grade of glass filters to balance exposure prior to any final corrections. He only sells authentic views of the real, natural world. You'll never get a creative blend or a digitally manipulated scene. When you hang an image on your wall, you can declare with complete certainty, "This is exactly what Paul saw when he took the shot".
We customise every detail to fit your exact needs.
To live up to that promise, you won't find any of our print options in stock.
Instead, Paul prints each image only once it's ordered — and to the exact specifications of each buyer. He also offers two versions: "Limited Edition" and "Artist's Proof".
Limited Edition Prints: Only 100 of these are printed worldwide. Your chosen photograph will be printed on the finest gallery-grade photographic papers in the world, hand-signed, numbered and presented with a unique certificate of authenticity.
Artist's Proof Series Prints: Just 5 of these prints are released worldwide, so if you're a collector who is looking for something truly special, this is it.
Each print is produced on the highest grade of silver halide paper available in the industry, and personally inspected by Paul throughout the entire print process. Artist's Proof series prints are hand-signed, numbered and registered with Hahnemuehle's Fine Art database in Germany, and finished with a unique serial-numbered hologram at the edge of the image for future traceability and authenticity checks.
Looking for a specific aspect ratio or size that is not offered as standard? Please contact us and we'll be able to provide pricing for bespoke options.
Quality guaranteed for a lifetime.
The result of years of experimentation and research, Paul's production process is second to none in terms of delivering quality photographic prints designed to last for generations. In standard gallery display conditions, under anti-UV glass, each of Paul's prints are graded to withstand fading for up to 140 years. And display tips are provided with each order, along with a care guide and cleaning instructions to keep your image looking its very best.
In following these guidelines, you can be sure your unique fine art print will be enjoyed for generations to come. Each print is guaranteed for the lifetime of the original purchaser under those conditions, with a replacement promise should an issue be noticed at any point in future.
