The Spine of the Mountain

from £50.00

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲

I was completely in my element here—surrounded by mountains steeped in mood and mystery. The air was heavy with rain, and the sky churned with drama, rolling clouds clinging to the peaks. The ground beneath my feet was sodden, every step sinking slightly into the saturated earth, yet the landscape glowed with vibrant orange tones that stood defiantly against the dark, brooding skies above.

As the mist began to drift lower, I found myself drawn upward—toward this ridge where the mountain’s spine revealed itself in streaks of green and black. A waterfall tumbled through the rock face, carving its way through centuries of stone, a silver thread cutting through the gloom. The light was fleeting, soft, and ethereal—each wisp of fog catching it for just a moment before swallowing it whole.

There was something raw and elemental about it, almost otherworldly. The textures, the colours, the atmosphere—it felt like stepping into a piece of Iceland, wild and untouched. In that solitude, surrounded by nothing but rock, rain, and rhythm, I felt both small and completely alive.

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.
