A print of Albert bridge is the perfect leaving gift. You probably have to live in South London to appreciate it. If you’ve got a colleague leaving or retiring a print is so much more personal than a set of cufflinks or a trip to a spa. It’s a South London icon and my daughters used to call it the ‘pretty bridge’ Searching for a leaving gift is a hard job.

Most of our clients are commercial businesses with offices. Many of those clients have an office in another city and it’s very common for a London office to have a sister office as well in New York. It makes sense for the office art they choose to represent the city where the business is represented. It also makes the employees feel special and reminds the client that they are dealing with a worldwide business.

Whenever I’m out photographing a commission or looking to expand my own gallery of prints I’m always looking for sets of prints that can hang together on a home or office wall. Large wall spaces either need a statement piece like a large 52” wide panoramic print or a set of smaller prints.

The definition of Fine art photography is as follows: “photography created with the intent of conveying an idea, message, or emotion through artistic expression, rather than simply capturing a moment or event. It's a form of visual art where the photographer's creative vision and artistic goals take centre stage. 

Panoramic prints are generally the size that works best to fill a large space on an office wall. The London panoramic prints in the gallery here are framed and although the standard size is 52” wide we can print to larger sizes. Many offices struggle to find large prints and in many corporate entrance and reception areas our clients are looking for something striking to hang on the walls for their clients to see when they arrive.

At the beginning and the end of the day when the sun is low in the sky in a city landscape silhouettes are everywhere. If you pointed an iPhone at the image below is would’t allow you to underexpose the subject and over expose the sky. If you used the automatic setting on a camera the same would happen as the metering system on auto would take a reading from the large expanse of very bright sky. You’re also looking directly at the sun.

London is such a green city and even in the high rise bits in the city there are pockets of green everywhere. The change of season, particularly in Autumn make our green city a photographers dream. Every year I take a trip to the top of Richmond Hill and take this shot again. I always try and get enough elevation so I can see the bend of the river. It’s a panoramic view too so I have a number of panoramic prints of this view in my gallery.

Battersea Powers station has undergone huge change since I started producing prints of it in 1985. Then it was all a bit of an eyesore and one developer after another would promise all sorts of improvements and then go bust or sell it on to the next developer. I’ve lived in South London since then and I have a large set of limited edition colour and black and white prints.

Prague is a photographers dream and over the years I’ve taken some of my best black and white images there. The first time I went to Prague I went on a stag trip and didn’t take that many images but I knew I had to go back. The second time I took more gear than I needed and I came back from that trip and made some amazing black and white prints which I still have running as limited editions today.

When I first came to London in February 1985 I had a friend who lived in South West London and I was invited to a party in Battersea Park. As a young photographer thinking about what I should do next in my life I stood next to The Thames looking out of the most beautiful bridge. When I first saw The Albert Bridge and had no idea that it would play such a large part in my life.

If you live in a small London flat and wall space is limited then it makes sense to pick a print that is proportional to the wall space you have. Our medium size framed print is generally about right at 26"x20", the print size 18"x12". The price is £145.00. If you work in an office and you have acres of wall space a panoramic at 52” wide would fill the space nicely. Panoramic prints are perfect for offices.

I first stated photographing and making prints in the late 1980’s. I had just purchased a second hand Bronica Etrs 80 and I was having fun and learning all about the medium format shape.

Panoramic prints and the large size prints we do are generally best suited to offices. If one standalone print doesn’t do the job then a set of smaller matching prints will sometimes be just as good. Most offices like the larger prints.

Offices often have large spaces to fill. Reception areas and boardrooms have a lot of wall space. Panoramic prints are the perfect solution when there’s lots of space and one standalone print is required. The print below is 52” wide. It’s big. This office in Chichester needed a large print in their reception area.

Having good art on your office walls is good for your employee’s well-being and of course it sends a strong message to your clients that come to visit you. It’s very important to have good framed prints hanging on your walls. We do some very large sizes and some of our panoramic prints are perfect as standalone pieces in reception areas and large spaces that need filling.

Sets of prints work in offices. There is always a corridor or a room that requires a few prints that match. Below is an office with two adjoining rooms with matching London prints. Black and white prints together can work well as sets. Offices that have branches in other cities often need prints from that city.

It’s very important to have good art in your office or workspace. It sends a very strong message to your clients and employees. You show them as an employer that your workforce is valued. It’s also important for the wellbeing of your employees that they work in a nice environment with good art on the walls.

Although it’s mid winter and we’re eagerly waiting for spring I thought I would write about the colours in autumn. Most of my work is in black and white but I do love producing colour prints.

Everyone who works in an office or visits their clients in an office notices what’s handing on the walls. Good art says a lot about your business and your employees love it too. We specialise in Fine art prints of world cities and we can deliver framed colour and black and white prints of London, New York, Paris and Prague to your office anywhere in the world.

In the London prints section of our website there is a new category named London Panoramics. You can see them all here. Panoramics are large framed prints and they are perfect for offices or large wall spaces. They are also perfect as standalone prints where just one large print is required such as an office reception area or a boardroom. They are 52” wide and they are large prints.
