Carlingfords Guiding Light

Signature Limited Edition

Carlingfords

Guiding Light

One Point of Structure Held Between Sea, Sky and Time.

01

The Photograph

The Art of
Leaving Things Out

The Photograph is Built Around a Simple Idea: Keep Only What Gives the Frame its Presence.

Long Exposure Removes Much of the Surface Detail that First Asks for Attention. What Remains is the Relationship Between the Light, the Horizon and the Space Around Them.

It is the Kind of Photograph I Return to Repeatedly, Not Because There is Little in the Frame, but Because Every Remaining Element Has a Job to Do.

The Edition

25 Prints

One Signature Limited Edition of Twenty Five Numbered Prints Across Every Available Size.

The Edition does not Restart when the Format Changes. When the Twenty Fifth Numbered Print is Issued, the Edition Closes Permanently.
