Back by Shore

Description

On a solo hike along the cliffs in Portugal, I found this boat resting beside stone buildings in the clear-early morning air. There was no movement around, only the quiet sense that work had already been done, though the day had yet to begin for most. This image holds the stillness I felt when it was clear much had already been done there.

All photographs are printed on Photographique Matte Paper – 180g, a high-quality professional photo paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish that preserves detail, tonal depth, and color accuracy.

Prints are produced in collaboration with RQR (RQR Taller de Reprografía), a small independent printing studio based in Valencia, Spain.
