Florence Streets #2

Price range: € 35.00 through € 350.00

Florence, Italy • Oct 24th, 2022

Sharp sunlight and shadow slice through a Florentine street at midday.

the Photograph

In Florence, clear light from a cloudless sky falls hard across a narrow side street, framing the steeple of the Basilica di San Lorenzo between opposing façades. The scene is simple and precise, defined by the meeting of stone, plaster, and sky as the city holds still beneath the sun.

Light and geometry drive the photograph. Strong verticals from shuttered windows and wall edges are set against the rounded form of the dome and steeple beyond. With colour kept restrained, attention rests on contrast and proportion, allowing shadow to shape the space as decisively as the architecture itself.

In print, the crisp boundary between illuminated wall and deep shadow remains clean and stable, preserving the clarity of each plane without bleed or glare. Fine tonal differences in the masonry and plaster stay legible, giving weight to the surfaces and reinforcing the image’s measured balance between precision and warmth 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.
