Fractured Earth

from £75.00

Standing high above Tenerife’s volcanic coastline, Phillip was immediately drawn to the raw textures beneath him. From ground level, the shoreline already felt dramatic — jagged volcanic rock constantly battered by the Atlantic — but it wasn’t until the drone lifted into the air that the landscape truly revealed itself.

From above, the coastline looked almost otherworldly.

Great fractured slabs of ancient lava stretched into the sea like broken tectonic plates, cracked and weathered by centuries of wind, salt, and relentless waves. The deep turquoise water pushed into every crevice and channel, wrapping itself around the black volcanic formations whilst patches of vivid green algae clung desperately to the rock face below.

Using the drone allowed Phillip to simplify the scene completely. No horizon. No distractions. Just shape, texture, light, and movement.

The early morning sun skimmed across the volcanic rock perfectly, pulling warmth from the otherwise dark formations and revealing every crack and contour within the coastline. From above, the Atlantic became almost painterly — soft blues and whites colliding against the sharp geometry of the land beneath it.

What fascinated Phillip most about this composition was the contrast itself. Chaos and calm existing together in the same frame. Violent geological formations softened by light, colour, and the constant rhythm of the ocean.

A reminder that Tenerife is not simply an island shaped by beauty, but by immense power buried deep beneath its surface.

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.
