GelAaula - The Greenland Collection Photograph - Limited Edition of 10

‘GelAaula’ means Oculus’ in Kalaallisut, the major Greenlandic language. Our guides kept us at a safe distance from this glorious, monumental, awe-inspiring island of ice, so gracefully resting in the Arctic Ocean just offshore. We launched the dinghy and took our time to establish the best angles, with our boat in sight. At any moment the arch could collapse, and we ensured we had the pictures then moved away. An amazing afternoon with camera in hand This was taken in 2019, sailing up the west coast of Greenland on a very personal photo-expedition like no other. Our boat was an old Herring Logger, around 100 feet long and built over 100 years ago in Holland. Her rigging is as traditional as it gets. The calm, outstanding skipper did all he could to ensure I could get the pictures, which included giving me almost complete freedom with the dinghy. It was one of the most wonderful, exciting, visually extraordinary shoots I have ever been on. My Greenland collection is meticulously created on heavyweight Canson Infinity Rag Photographique 310 GSM by a highly experienced and dedicated Director of the UK Fine Art Trade Guild to ensure the very cleanest of whites, the deepest shadows and perfect mid-tones. As Canson say: ‘Infinity Rag Photographique is a 100% cotton museum grade white Fine Art and photo paper. The exceptional smooth white tone is achieved during manufacturing by introducing natural minerals to the process. It has been developed to address the need for continued longevity requirements in the Digital Fine Art market. Rag Photographique offers a unique extra smooth surface with a sensual feel. It also provides one of the highest achievable Dmax [a measure of the deepest black tone] currently available on the market, making it ideal for fine art photography as well as fine art printmaking.' Each Limited Edition print is numbered, signed on the verso by me and fully certified by the Fine Art printer.
