Shutter Space is my online portfolio. I have been experimenting with lith printing for several years and I use the technique for many of my prints. In addition I'm also experimenting with alternative film and paper developers. The section on lith printing explains how the technique produces uniques prints.

My work is available for sale both as fine art prints and digital images. Prices vary depending on the use of the digital image or the size and process of the print. Gold toner is expensive and as a result gold toned prints cost more than standard black & white prints.

All prints are archival processed and printed on fibre-based paper; they are signed limited editions of 100.

Commissions are accepted within the Western Cape area. If you like my style but can't find an image that's quite suitable for your purposes please contact me.
