"International Colour Awards 2015 - Nominee in "Nature" category
Early morning light passes through choppy Atlantic waves wrapping around me on this steeply shelving beach in south-west Cornwall. It gives the impression of being underwater whilst the waves crash above the surface. I’ve been back to this beach many times and haven’t been able to shoot anything like it again. I was completely alone on the beach, stood in a choppy sea with powerful backwash.
I was using heavy professional gear to get this shot, thousands of pounds worth of kit a two foot above the sea! What would have looked surreal from the clifftop was a little naked Jack-in-the-Box crouching down on a sand-cusp to shoot through the waves as they rose before him, before rapidly jumping up to keep the camera clear of each rib-high backwash! This was one of my daftest shoots ever, but I’m delighted with the result. This IS probably my all-time favourite image and I have No.1 of 10 hanging in our home.

ABOUT THE PRINTS:
Glyn's prints are all produced on soft-textured, archival cotton-rag paper, using archival pigment inks. The manufacturer's estimated lifespan for these prints is over 200 years when behind glass & viewed under artificial lighting.
Each print is signed & titled by the artist, and the editioned prints are obviously numbered as well. Glyn limit's his print editions to short quantities, so you are purchasing much rarer artworks than the mass-produced prints seen in furniture & home stores.
Editions range from 3 to 30 copies in the A2 & A1 size, and just 5 copies in the A0 size.

Prints have been shipped to the EU, USA and Australia without any issues so far.
