Salisbury Cathedral, Wiltshire, England
I made Evening Spire during a crisp, quiet evening in Salisbury, when the cathedral close had begun to empty and the last colour of the day lingered near the horizon. The air felt still, and the cathedral seemed to possess the landscape rather than simply stand within it.
What held my attention was the way the fading light moved through the scene. Warm illumination revealed the richness and age of the stone, while the spire rose into the cooler blue of the evening sky. The radiating clouds appeared to echo its upward movement, giving the building a sense of both permanence and lightness.
The curved path offers a quiet way into the photograph, inviting the viewer to approach and pause before this extraordinary building. Evening Spire is about that experience of looking: the scale of the architecture, the stillness surrounding it, and the sense of wonder that remains when daylight gives way to evening.

Print and Presentation
Evening Spire is produced as a museum-quality Fine Art Print on 3 mm Aluminium Dibond with Hahnemühle Photo Rag, chosen for its ability to preserve the photograph’s delicate evening colour, refined tonal transitions and architectural detail.
The soft matte surface of Hahnemühle Photo Rag allows the cool blue sky, fading warmth of the sunset and illuminated cathedral stone to retain their depth without distracting reflections. Mounting the print directly onto Aluminium Dibond provides a stable, beautifully flat presentation while preserving the photograph’s quiet atmosphere.
The artwork is finished without a border in a slim Basel 15 mm black oak frame. Its understated dark edge echoes the cathedral’s roofs and shadowed architectural details, giving the image definition without enclosing the spacious sky or drawing attention away from the photograph.

Small: 60 × 40 cm
Medium: 90 × 60 cm
