A beautiful image of the Elephant’s Trunk nebula 2, 500 light years away.
Here we have a massive column of dust and ionized gas reaching across space and contained within a wide star forming region within the constellation of Cepheus. This is the same object as ‘Star Birth Two’, just photographed in a completely different way to capture different wavelengths and a wider view. Very dramatic on a wall.

For those whose budgets do not stretch to the spectacular Frameless Acrylic or Framed and Backlit options - I am now able to offer a more affordable alternative- Fine Art photographic prints. These are themselves beautiful too!
All images are available in this format and they come in a range of sizes to fit your budget and wall space.
The images are printed with archival, museum-quality inks onto beautiful high quality photographic paper - Platinum Art Fibre. This is a fine art acid-free paper with a distinctive texture and a satin finish. At 300gsm, this paper is heavy weight and almost as thick as card, making it ideal for wall art. It enables a wide tonal range and deep blacks: essential for images of space! It also has excellent archival qualities with prints that are guaranteed to last a minimum of 85 years.
All-in-all the result is a long lasting, stunning and vibrant picture - to transform a room.
The A sizes are designed to fit into standard size frames, avoiding any additional cost associated with custom-made frames. Frames are purchased separately. I do not supply.
All pieces are limited edition and come with a signed certificate and information on what the object is and how I photographed it.
They are delivered in a tube within 2 weeks of order.

The images are printed on aluminium to give a stunning vivid piece of art.
The printing process is known as 'Chromaluxe' uses a dye sublimation process to transfer the image under heat and pressure to the specially prepared surface of the aluminium - giving high gloss finish in high resolution with deep rich colours!
It's a magnificent piece of art which will last generations! The archival inks and glossy finish shows off these deep space images in the highest quality.
As with the acrylic pieces these are frameless - bringing that modern feel with clean lines. They come with a simple hanging system on the back ready to put on the wall straight from the box!
They are available in the same sizes as the acrylic pieces - 18" 32" and 48" widths, with editions of 25, 15 and 5 respectively.
They cost slightly less to manufacture than the acrylic pieces so retail at prices below the acrylic.
Oh and one other thing- they can be hung outside too!
