ABOUT
Near Kyiv, Ukraine
The first light of day settles quietly over the Dnipro. A lone boat drifts on a mirror-like surface, the horizon dissolving into a wash of colour. The calm is absolute — no sound, no movement, only the slow transformation of light across the sky.
This image was created at sunrise, when the world felt suspended between night and day. Its simplicity is deliberate, drawing focus to stillness and the delicate transitions of tone that only the earliest light reveals. A study in quiet minimalism and pure atmosphere.

Framed Acrylic Glass
Each photograph is offered as a museum-grade fine art print, produced in collaboration with WhiteWall, one of Europe’s most respected professional print laboratories. This is the finished work as it is intended to be seen. Carefully crafted, elegantly framed, and ready to hang. Every element is chosen for longevity, balance, and quiet visual presence.

The Process
The image is printed on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Baryta 310gsm, an archival cotton paper renowned for its exceptional tonal depth and natural surface. This paper is prized for both colour and black and white work, offering rich blacks, refined highlights, and beautifully controlled saturation. Each image is individually prepared and soft-proofed for this paper to ensure accuracy between screen and print.
The print is presented with an 8 cm natural white museum-grade passepartout, allowing the image to breathe and providing a sense of calm spatial separation from the frame. It is finished in a slim 20 mm black oak frame, chosen for its understated elegance and contemporary character. Museum glass completes the piece, offering high clarity and UV protection while minimising reflections.
