Between Two

from £75.00

Summer was beginning to loosen its grip on the countryside.

The fields surrounding Dale Abbey had already been harvested, leaving behind endless stretches of golden stubble that carried the unmistakable feeling of a season nearing its end. The warmth still lingered in the evening air, but the landscape itself had started to change. The greens of summer were fading, replaced by softer earth tones and longer shadows stretching across the land.

For Phillip, there has always been something strangely beautiful about harvested fields.

Where others might see emptiness, he sees simplicity. Clean lines. Shape. Space to breathe. The chaos of tall crops had disappeared, revealing the gentle curves of the land beneath and allowing the eye to settle naturally between the two lone trees standing quietly against the horizon.

The light that evening felt fleeting.

Heavy clouds rolled slowly overhead, threatening to swallow the sun entirely, but every so often the light would break through in soft bursts, illuminating the stubble with rich gold tones before disappearing once again. It created a constant tension between light and shadow — calm one moment, dramatic the next.

Phillip waited patiently for that balance.

Not for a spectacular sunset or dramatic colour, but for a quieter moment where everything aligned: the spacing of the trees, the rolling shadows across the field, and the final warmth of late summer falling gently across the harvested land.

A photograph about transition more than anything else.

The space between seasons.
The space between storms.
And the quiet stillness found between two trees.

Printed in Dale Abbey

Every print is personally handled by Phillip from start to finish at his home studio in Dale Abbey. Using the Canon PIXMA PRO-200S, each photograph is carefully printed, checked, and prepared by hand to ensure it meets the highest possible standard before leaving the studio.

Rather than outsourcing production, Phillip believes in remaining closely connected to every stage of the printing process. From selecting the final image and adjusting tones for print, to reviewing detail, texture and overall presentation, every piece is produced with the same level of care and attention that went into capturing the original photograph in the field.

Each print is created in small numbers, allowing time for precision, consistency and quality rather than mass production.

Quality Control

Quality control is an essential part of the process. From colour and contrast to paper finish and detail retention, every print is overseen personally by Phillip to ensure the final piece reflects the atmosphere and emotion of the original scene as faithfully as possible.

Landscape photography can often contain subtle transitions in light, deep shadow detail, and delicate colour tones that deserve careful handling when brought into print. Every image is individually reviewed to ensure those quieter details remain present and true to the original vision.

Prints are checked under natural lighting conditions to ensure consistency, depth and accuracy — creating a final piece that feels refined, natural and true to the landscape itself.

Premium Materials

To achieve this, only premium materials are used, including Canon Photo Paper Pro Premium Matte — chosen for its exceptional detail, rich tones, and beautifully subtle texture that perfectly complements Phillip’s landscape photography.

Phillip has always been drawn to the softer, more natural finish that matte paper provides. It removes unnecessary glare and allows the atmosphere, mood and detail within each image to take centre stage. From mist-filled woodlands and soft sunrise light to dramatic weather rolling across the landscape, the paper helps retain a subtle and timeless feel.

The combination of professional inks, carefully calibrated printing and premium matte paper ensures every print is produced with longevity, clarity and richness in mind.

A Personal Thank You

Please know that purchasing one of Phillip’s prints is considered the highest compliment he can receive. Every order genuinely means a great deal and supports the continued exploration, quiet mornings, long walks, and moments behind the camera that make these photographs possible.

Photography has always been far more than simply taking pictures. It is a form of escapism, reflection and connection to the outdoors — whether standing alone in woodland before sunrise, exploring hidden corners close to home in Dale Abbey, or enduring difficult conditions in search of fleeting light.

Knowing that one of these moments will live on in somebody’s home is something Phillip never takes for granted. Every print purchased directly supports future adventures, early mornings, long evenings outdoors and the continued pursuit of meaningful landscape photography.
