The Palace of Westminster (Parliament) - Photo Joiner - Limited Edition of 1 Print

The Palace of Westminster (or simply 'Parliament' as most people in the UK call it) is not nearly as old as it first appears, built between 1840-1876 (although there's been a seat of the UK government on this site since 1016). It's one of the most recognisable buildings in the world and as such it attracts it's fair share of vistors....which made photographing it something of a challenge. As is my 'process' I wandered around the periphery of the building looking at it from different angles and vantage points before I decided that having Westminster bridge lead 'into' the photo and the River Thames as foreground interest was the shot I had in my head. It's a fantastic building to look at, and is always swarming with people and with it having Parliament Square right in front, there's always a lot of traffic and noise. I love the way this joiner, when looking at individual photos which it's comprised of, give you different views and aspects of the life buzzing around Parliament, be it the tourists on the bridge taking photos or the boat chugging along on the River Thames. **Special Note - Only the original will receive the artists signature as proof of authenticity** What is a 'joiner'? A joiner is a series of digital photos taken of a subject (landscape, person or item) which are digitally 'treated' and then arranged using computer software to create a large single digital photo. When printed the 'joiner' tends to be very large by virtue of it being made up of multiple full size photos (anything from 20-70 individual photos). Printing (prices available upon request): The buyer is able choose from the following printing materials: Canvas, Fabric and PolyCril. - Canvas - Artex Canvas is a high-end light weight, extremely strong and flexible canvas substrate. The material is easy and beautiful to print on using solvent, eco-solvent, UV, Latex or screen printing. - PolyCril - A canvas-ish texture which gives a soft, non-reflective quality for premium feel, it's made from non-PVC materials which means it is 100% recyclable and an ideal environmentally friendly solution. - Fabric - a range of different polyester fabrics printed with dye sublimated inks, from display fabrics to fine voile. Dye sublimation printing embeds the ink into the fibres of the weave becoming part of the material. This process allows the fabric to remain soft and flexible. Mounting options (prices available upon request): FabriFrame - is a revolutionary fabric tension system which is so versatile the creative possibilities are huge. It can be mounted onto walls, doors or ceilings with a fabric graphic applied to the face, or be a free standing unit or partition wall. The system is created from a lightweight aluminium frame which can be fitted on-site either by my installation team or, depending on size, sent as a flat pack unit for self assembly. The frames comes in a variety of profile depths ranging from 20mm to 100mm, with the ability to be cut and finished to create almost any shape you can imagine. FabriGrab - An incredible fabric tension system which effectively replaces the need for full wall coverings in vinyl or wallpaper, eliminating any seams or damage to the wall behind. The slim extrusion creates a narrow gap between the wall and fabric to create a smooth fabric finish. The super slimline FabriGrab™ frame attaches neatly to the wall, around windows, doors, sockets and switches. Influences: We each are influenced by the world and people around us, and as such the decisions and choices we make can be steered dependent on how strong the given influence is. When working on and compiling a joiner I generally listen to music, and as such I believe the music can have a bearing on the finished article. To this end to fully enjoy and enter into the same state of mind as that when the joiner was created I recommend listening to the the following track: Track: In the evening . Artist: Led Zepplin
