Description
Vintage metal letterpress type blocks in various states of oxidised copper and dark steel, arranged in shallow focus with dramatic warm and cool lighting that catches the raised letterforms. The composition emphasises the tactile, industrial character of the metal surfaces—burnished highlights against deep shadow, rough texture and age-worn edges—shot with shallow depth of field that creates an intimate, textural study. Warm golden and rust-toned light bathes the foreground whilst cooler shadows pool in the recessed spaces, evoking the craftsmanship and history of print.
