Far above the world
Planet Earth is purple
And there's nothing I can do
Words, with slight modification, from the song, Space Oddity by David Bowie.
Rusty Car Roof that to me looks like the earth as seen from space. We see the outline of land mass and the twinkling lights of the cities and harbour
This is a limited number of 15 of which I'll retain one for myself.
I can offer Giclee prints, and these can vary in size of paper and type. The image printed within will not exceed 10x8 inches or what I consider is aesthetically correct.
I'm currently experimenting with printing on brushed aluminium, the size will be approx. 5x4 I like the results so far and if this is a method you might like, contact me and I'll be able to offer a more finalised price.

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.
