The Enchanted Oaks

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

The fog rolled in thick and heavy this morning — the kind that completely swallows Dale Abbey whole. Visibility was down to almost nothing, but instead of staying in, I grabbed my camera and headed straight out into the blue haze.

I made my way back to one of my favourite haunts, where the woodland oaks twist and creep through the mist like something alive. The silence was unreal — just the occasional drip of water from the branches and the crunch of damp leaves underfoot.
Using the fog to my advantage, I framed those familiar trees in a completely new way — their silhouettes haunting, their forms exaggerated by the dense air. It’s mornings like this that remind me why I love photographing this place — it never looks the same twice.

When it comes to printing and fulfilling customer orders, Phillip insists on working with only the very best in the printing business — which means not only using top-tier printing technology and expert craftsmanship, but also choosing premium materials that do justice to your images. WhiteWall is widely recognised as a world-class photo lab that combines cutting-edge production with gallery-quality standards. Their processes and materials are trusted by photographers, artists and galleries around the world because each step — from file upload to final inspection — is monitored by experienced print specialists to ensure perfect results.

A key example of this commitment is his favourite choice of paper: Hahnemühle William Turner. This is a fine-art, 100 % cotton, mould-made paper with a rich, textured surface that is renowned in the professional photography and art world for its exceptional print quality and archival durability. The premium matt inkjet coating on this paper delivers outstanding colour depth, smooth tonal transitions, and exquisite detail, while its acid- and lignin-free composition means prints will age beautifully over time. It’s the kind of paper you’d see used for museum-calibre, limited-edition prints, exhibitions and archival portfolios — not just everyday consumer printing.

By pairing WhiteWall’s award-winning printing expertise with William Turner fine-art paper, Phillip ensures every print he fulfils isn’t just a photograph, but a true, museum-quality art object — rich in detail, texture and lasting impact.
