Still water mirrors the Twelve Pins beneath slow-moving cloud at Derryclare Lough.
the Photograph
From Pine Island on Derryclare Lough in Connemara, the view opens across calm water toward the Twelve Pins, with Bencorr rising prominently at the centre of the range. The mountains sit quietly beneath a soft, shifting sky, their forms reflected with near symmetry across the surface of the lake.
Colour and balance shape the photograph. Cool blues and greens dominate the scene, tempered by gentle light filtering through cloud. The long exposure smooths the water into a reflective plane, allowing the mountains to read with clarity while the movement above introduces a subtle sense of passage rather than drama.
In print, the distinction between reflected and physical forms becomes more nuanced. The submerged stones near the foreground remain visible beneath the surface, while the mirrored peaks hold cleanly without breaking apart. Subtle tonal transitions across sky, land, and water preserve the image’s quiet depth and contemplative stillness beyond the screen.

the Print
Printing is treated not as a final step, but as a continuation of the work, refining tone, balance, and texture until the print feels true to the original experience. Each photograph is produced as a signed Fine Art Giclée print, carefully inspected by me before it leaves my studio.
Prints are offered in five sizes, Companion, Artist, Studio, Gallery, and Master. The range is intentionally limited, allowing the image to be experienced at a scale that feels right, from an intimate print to a larger piece with stronger presence.
Smaller editions are printed by me personally, while larger works are produced in close collaboration with a trusted fine art printer in Ireland. All prints are made using archival papers from Hahnemühle and Canson, combined with genuine Epson pigment inks, chosen for their tonal subtlety and long-term permanence. Every print is backed by my satisfaction, replacement, and lifetime fade-free guarantees. Find out more about my printing process here.
