LIGHTNING OVER KUMARAKOM, KERALA

from $75.00

On the eastern shore of Vembanad Lake, the largest lake in Kerala and the longest in India, lies Kumarakom, a cluster of small islands surrounded by backwaters, mangroves and paddy fields. It is one of the most peaceful corners of South India, known for its slow boat journeys and its famous bird sanctuary.

But on the day I took this photograph, the calm gave way to drama. As a heavy downpour swept across the water, a bolt of lightning split the dark sky above Kumarakom, lighting up the backwaters for a single, electric instant.

It is a rare moment that shows the raw power of nature in the tropics. As a fine art print, it brings energy and drama to any living room, office or workspace.

Available in a choice of sizes and finishes. Each print is produced to museum-quality standards.

LIMITED EDITION FINE ART PRINT- ONLY 50 COPIES

This photograph is released as a strictly limited edition of just 50 prints worldwide. Once all 50 are sold, it will never be printed again.

Every print is individually numbered and signed, and comes with a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity, sent separately from the artwork. Together, they guarantee the origin and value of your print for years to come.

As a photographer and collector myself, I believe authentic artwork should hold its value. That is why each limited edition is produced to museum-quality standards and kept small, so that every piece remains truly rare.

CANVAS MATTE PAPER QUALITY WITH GLOSS FINISH

The photograph printed directly on museum-quality canvas material using high-quality archival inks. I use Canvas Classic texture with the UltraChrome HDX Epson 10-color pigment ink system as it offers an extremely wide color gamut with excellent black density and a print life of 200 years in color up to 400 years in black and white.

Printing your photo on Canvas Classic texture looks very natural and especially suitable for images with rich contrast and colors.

 

PHOTO PAPER QUALITY

I am using Epson Premium Luster Photo Paper (260) delivers highly saturated prints by providing maximum ink coverage and high D-Max for true photographic copies. using Luster paper will make the photo stay years before significant fading and / or changes in color balance occur 75 years.
