The Perimeter's author shares his advice for producing eye-watering prints

Quintin is an award-winning architectural and landscape photographer who originally trained as an architect. His interest in geometry and serenity informs all of his photographic work.

When he's not working on assignment for clients worldwide. Quintin creates photographic artworks in series based on long landscape walks and aspects of the built environment, which are available as signed prints. In 2015, Quintin embarked on a 10,000km walk, in sections, around the British coast. He called the project The Perimeter, and many of the images he captured are available as prints.

Quintin started making prints as an income stream seriously in 2007, after an exhibition called 'Pripyat 21 Years After Chernobyl', which was around the same time as the Greenland project mentioned above. Images from both those projects continue to be strong sellers for him.
