At Pirinthian Photos, clients can purchase limited edition art prints from selected photographers from around the world. Prices start at £200 with prints rising in price as each one is sold reflecting their reducing availability and limited edition status. With each print sale (before VAT), 75% is allocated to the Photographer & Pirinthian Photos with the remaining 25% going to a charity chosen by the Photographer.
Pirinthian Photos will evolve to become a boutique community showcasing artful and distinctive imagery from a select group of photographers who believe in mutual benefit and wanting to give something back to the people and communities we photograph. What matters most, is to be authentic with our own character & spirit.

Pirinthian Photos was born as I wanted to experience on a daily basis, viewing fantastic photos hanging from my wall. I needed to liberate my digital photos left unseen for years on my hard drive and make them analogue. Something magical happens viewing a large format art print…the art gallery comes home.
A former work colleague inspired me to go backpacking, which was outside my comfort zone, probably my age range too, having just turned 50. I took the usual tourist photos, but none inspired me, although some containing people showed some promise. This is what I was missing....people. I had to wait until the eighth week of a twelve week trip before the magic happened, a photo in a great setting, with just enough light and the right dose of mystery. It wasn't until I got back home that I realised I had a couple of diamonds and a dozen golden nuggets. These photos asked questions rather than giving answers…they were perfect, rare captured moments of time, forever gone.
However, something wasn't quite right, I felt uncomfortable taking photos of people, but this is how the photography world had always worked. I racked my brain thinking how my photography could give something back. I decided that I would donate 25% from each print sold to a charitable cause. Pirinthian Photos will eventually evolve into a community of photographers with similar beliefs of mutual benefit and wanting to give something back.
