It refers to a question of which there is no known answer. Hence, 'How Long Is A Piece Of String' is an ambiguous answer because it could be any length.
I can offer prints in varying sizes up to A3 I generally prefer matte prints but some images may be better on a semi matt paper and I reserve the right to make that decision on your behalf but am willing to listen to suggestions. The image size will be approx 10x7 inches or whatever I feel sits aesthetically correct in the paper size.
I also print miniature art on brushed aluminium, the size will be a ration of 5x4.

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.
