I am delighted to have just launched a gallery entitled: ‘Sydney in Black-and-White’ – with
many of the photos that were taken during the Sydney Lockdown.
The idea came about when a client recently purchased eight canvas gallery wrap prints from me to hang in a new space at their specialist dental surgery practice.
The client asked if it was possible to convert four of the previous colour images into black and white, which I happily did in the Lightroom program.
This prompted me to create the new gallery ‘Sydney in Black-and-White’ – offering fine art prints for wall displays in both offices and homes.
One of the selected black-and-white prints I am featuring today shows views of former warehouses at Campbells Cove in The Rocks.
These days they are restaurants and cafés and normally extremely popular with tourists.
Behind them is the iconic Metcalfe Bond Building – a heritage-listed former bond store and warehouse that is now shops and offices.
To capture this location in the lockdown with no people at all in the photograph is completely unique, as it is normally such a thriving location with tourists everywhere.
Luckily the light was perfect: allowing the highlights to fall on both the foreground and the buildings in the background.
My client was delighted with the quality of the canvas gallery wrap prints.
The low sheen, 340 gsm canvas compliments the black-and-white images perfectly, as it has a bright white finish for dense colour reproduction, and a low bleed for sharp, crisp edges.
Most importantly, the canvas does not crack when stretched, and it is 100 percent cotton and PVC-free.
The images are also printed with UV-stable, scratch, and fade-resistant archival ink for indoor applications.
The canvas is hand-wrapped and installed into the natural timber by a local Sydney craft framer.
The floating frames are made in Italy using the finest quality Ayous timber chosen for its lightweight and with
a natural European oak veneer.
All frames are supplied ready-to-hang and available through my website to mix and match with available prints.
Great pics!
