Information about our Prints



Print Quality

Almost all of the images in the Limited Edition and Spirit Collection have been made on 'old fashioned' large format film which can capture a scene in quite amazing detail. This is quite obvious when you see the giant prints with your own eyes, but on the web it is hard to show this properly.

To help you visualize the stunning clarity and detail of our large prints we have set up a web gadget to show you how the prints look in large sizes. You can zoom in on a sample image and see the detail as if from a 80 inch wide print. Click Here to see this Zoomify tool...

Print Collections

We sell three different types of prints:

- Limited Editions
- Spirit Collection
- Signature Collection

Limited Edition Prints

One of the most important aspects of Nick's work is that he does not alter the content of the image in any way - what you see in the print is what Nick saw when he made the photograph. If the colours look too good to be true then that is not the result of post production manipulation but simply good timing and experience. After all, Nature provides plenty of amazing colours to work with. For more on the subject of photographic veracity, see here...

The Limited Editions are our premium prints and are quite simply the best prints that can be made with the technology available to us today. The print material itself offers a super-glossy mirror finish and the ultra-bright colour range make these prints look as though they are illuminated from behind. One single 12v spotlight enhances this effect which has to be seen to be believed.




The website cannot show this effect, but, quite seriously, we have noticed people who have looked behind the framed prints to see if their was a light behind them!

Limited Editions are available in 7 sizes, each size defining the longest side of the print. Prices range from AUD395.00 up to AUD2495.00 and shipping is free, anywhere in the world.

The Limited Edition range is restricted to 300 numbered prints only, of all sizes, so there will never be any more than 300 prints of a particular image anywhere in the world



Spirit Collection Prints

We wanted to offer a print range that was numbered and signed, but slightly more affordable than the premium Limited Editions. The Spirit Collection comes in 3 sizes and are issued in editions of 2000. Prices start at a very reasonable AUD90.00.


Small : 460x200mm
Medium : 600x250mm
Large : 800x350mm.






Signature Series Prints

The Signature Series is an open edition of signed prints in smaller sizes ranging from A5 to A3. These prints make terrific gifts as well as great souvenires of places in Australia you may have visited.

Prints are made onto Arches Watercolour Paper, one of the finest papers made. Prints on this material have been lightfast rated up to 75 years.

A3 = 420x297mm

A4 = 297x210mm
