Fragile Beauty: The Print Collection

An exclusive collection of limited edition prints from Fragile Beauty by Paul Sanders. All of my images are available in editions of 5. Your photograph will be printed by me on to 304 x 304mm 305gsm Platinum Cotton archival paper, stamped, hand signed and numbered. It will arrive unframed and unmounted, allowing you to choose the frame that suits the space it’ll be displayed in. I am very happy to advise on framing and can supply bespoke frames and mounts as optional extras.

Photography is a very personal journey, a combination of technical skill and unique expression of a moment experienced. It has taken me a long to time understand this but by asking myself pertinent questions about the why I am photographing and encouraging curious exploration I have learned beauty is everything from the mundane to the most exquisite landscape, learning that beauty has no rules, boundaries or formula is one of the most important lessons any photographer can learn.

There are photographic formulas that help one learn the process or overcome the technical hurdles, however there comes a time when you have to cross those boundaries and work with your soul allowing the spiritual and emotional connection with your world, your story to come through. As a photographer, I am telling my story, my connection with the world I inhabit today.

The photographs we make today are the legacy we leave future generations, so they can see and feel our way of life, our social and economic fabric and the deep connection we as individuals experienced the world around us.

The images that I am making available as prints are a personal narrative, each one represents an awareness of my place in the world, originating as a series documenting the fragility I felt as I started a process of recovery from my breakdown, they explore the way I became aware of my own emotions, failings, strengths and growth through seeing the equivalence in flowers.

These images are deeply personal and miles away from the photographer I thought I ’should be’ but came from a much deeper place than anything I had made before.

They are after all just flowers but they are also me; Minor White said that every image we make is a self portrait, for me nothing has never been more true.
