Fontelina Hour
Framed works are presented with a conservation-grade mat board and UV-protective art glass, ready to hang.
La Fontelina, in the quiet hour. Empty striped chairs, the rocks falling to the sea, the whole place holding its breath between swims. This is where you'd come back to, salt still on your skin, with nothing left to do but sit. Of the thousands of frames from that month, the ones from this little beach club kept rising to the top. There's a stillness here you don't find often — the feeling of a perfect day pausing, just for a moment, to let you catch up to it.
We're as excited about your new prints as you are — and we're committed to getting them to you swiftly, securely, and sustainably. Our shipping is designed with both the planet and your convenience in mind, reaching more than 35 countries worldwide.

Handcrafted in Sydney. Delivered to your door, worldwide.
Every Limited Edition Print is made to order at our workshop in Sydney, Australia, and shipped via DHL Express or Australia Post Express, depending on size.
Your shipping cost is calculated at checkout and covers insurance and all import duties — so once you've paid, nothing more is owed when your print arrives. No surprise customs bills at the door.
Each order also includes a signed Certificate of Authenticity.
Each frame is built by hand, so larger framed pieces take longer to craft. In a rush? Get in touch before ordering and we'll confirm timing for your size.
Estimates begin once your print leaves the workshop. Need it by a certain date? Contact us before ordering and we'll confirm timing and produce your order as fast as we can. These are guides provided by the couriers and may change depending on the time of year.
Every option is built to withstand international transit, with our Grand-size frames travelling in custom timber crates for maximum protection.
Every shipment is fully insured against loss and damage in transit. This is a rare occurrence, but if your print does arrive damaged, contact us as soon as possible with photos of both the artwork and the packaging.
Please don't discard any packaging material — it's often required to process a claim.
Claim procedures vary by country and carrier, so timing and requirements may differ depending on where your order is delivered. We'll guide you through the specific steps for your location once you're in touch.

Italian Dream
One coastline. One month. 20 handsigned photographs. — once sold, never printed again.
Italian Dream is the record of a single month spent travelling the Amalfi coast, Capri and Positano — driving the coast road before dawn, waiting out the midday crowds, photographing the same cliffs and lidos until the light was right.
Every frame was shot on medium-format Hasselblad and full-frame Sony bodies, so each file carries the resolution and tonal depth to hold detail at our largest sizes — up to 152 × 216 cm — without a trace of softening.
A month of travel with my partner and no set-ups — only available light, a tripod and two camera systems chosen for what they do best: the Hasselblad for tonal range and colour on the wide coastal scenes, the Sony for reach and speed when the moment was brief.
Large prints are unforgiving. Because every work in Italian Dream begins as a high-resolution capture, a Statement print stands up to being read from thirty centimetres away — the same crispness in the water, the render and the stone as in the smallest size.
