Flowers for February - Ukraine Charity Print
This is a special charity print that I created to help raise funds for those affected by the invasion in Ukraine and other conflict areas around the world. I will be donating all profits from the sale of this print to War Child. For more information about the print and War Child please scroll down.
About the Print
I photographed this vase of late winter blooms in February this year (2022) whilst the terrible events were unfolding in Ukraine. I wanted to create a unique charity photo print so that I could raise funds to help those living in conflict zones. The print features a posy of wild winter flowers including snowdrops which symbolise sympathy and consolation. The fresh white colour of the snowdrop represents innocence and purity. Because snowdrops pop up so early on in the year they also symbolise hope which is all so fitting for this special photograph.
All profits from the sale of this print will be donated to War Child.

Paper and print quality
C-type gallery quality printing that is made to last.
Completely carbon neutral process.
My photo prints are printed on matt Fuji Crystal Archive paper for amazing clarity.
Archival life of 40 years
What are C-type prints? It’s a modern version of the old school darkroom process. Unlike Giclée prints, which are essentially high quality inkjet prints, C-types are produced by a chemical process on light sensitive archival photographic papers.
Light sensitive silver coated paper (don’t worry, the paper doesn’t look silver) is exposed using an LED or laser light source and put through a conventional chemical developing process. I chose this method as I found it the best for optimal colour reproduction and true to life tones.
Frames
My prints are sized to suit frames that are very easily available.
If you’re on a budget, inexpensive frames are available from Desenio and IKEA. Higher quality frames can be bought from places like John Lewis and West Elm but I personally love getting to know your local framers for a completely bespoke service.
