Awarded 5th Place in a recent Photography & Digital Category of Light Space & Time's, Primary Colours Exhibition.

The title is taken from a song by the English sixties group, The Animals.

I don't think it's difficult to see why this title fits this image. The subject is an old shipping container now used as an office in an NCP Car Park. So the colour blue represents both the house and the sky, while the yellow is a symbol of the rising sun.

The image size will be approximately 10x8, or what I consider sits aesthetically correct within an A3 paper format.

As a rule, I print my pictures on A3 Matte Archival Art Paper but occasionally I use a semi-gloss paper, this is because, I believe that the image will benefit. I reserve the right to make that decision on your behalf, unless of course you request otherwise.

If you have a preference of paper type, then if you contact me direct, this can be discussed.

Should you be interested in purchasing one of my pictures, it’s worth noting, that print colour may vary slightly depending on what system you are viewing the image.

Martin Vallis  is a professionnal photographer. His style evolved, resulting in tightly- cropped, close-up work, mostly utilising Tungsten lighting, to enhance texture and detail. Two decades later Martin departed from commercial photography, concentrating on his own vision.

Throughout his career, Martin’s style has changed, yet there remains the ever-constant preference for simplicity of solitary objects, reflecting texture and shape: less is more. Society may spend time looking for the ‘Big Picture’ whilst missing the ‘Beauty of Simplicity’. He feels it portrays a deeply felt sense of isolation, solitude and emptiness. The artist is eager to conclude he now understands those feelings are more to do with his condition over reality.

Martin Vallis has studied Visual Communication at Medway College of Art and Design from 1976-79, moving to London in 1980. After working as a Photographic Assistant to Commercial Photographer Gary Bryan for 3 years, he set up his own studio in Chelsea in 1983, that specialised in high-quality still life photography, in the areas of Advertising, Design and Editorial. Martin also shot stills on TV and Cinema commercials, primarily with directors Howard Guard and Ridley Scott (Alien/Blade Runner/Gladiator). Some of Martin’s clients included, British Airways, BMW, Volkswagen and Selfridges.
