A hooded Saker hunting falcon, photographed on location in the Gulf of Arabia using a traditional portrait studio set up with a backdrop and lights.

The saker falcon (Falco Cherrug) is a big, strong bird of prey with large feet and broad wings. Due to the gradual environmental destruction of their natural habitat in the steppes and the subsequent disappearance of their usual prey, the number of saker falcons in the wild are dangerously decreasing, and they may soon become extinct.
This is a hand-pulled, photogravure (heliogravure / photo-etching) printed using quality etching paper and oil-based inks.

A photogravure print is made by a labour intensive, manual process that dates back to the late 1800s. The photographic image is etched onto a metal plate which is inked and polished by hand, and then placed in contact with a sheet of fine art paper and 'pulled' through a traditional etching press. The result is an exquisite photographic print with beautiful depth and textural feel.

The combination of oil-based etching inks and 100% acid-free art paper that I use gives these photogravures the longest lifespan of any photographic print.
Print orders normally take up to a week to fulfill.
