Every Reflect Photo print begins as an original photograph, taken on location — then reimagined as an artwork in whatever style the picture itself asks for. Many wear the dress of the great British railway posters of the 1930s; others follow their own light — sea fog, nightfall, a lantern in a dark shed.

Each image belongs to a series — the Devon Travel Series, the Cornwall Travel Series, the Cotswold Travel Series, the New Zealand Travel Series and the World Travel Series — and each carries its own serial number, printed on the artwork itself.

The first picture

Reflect Photo began with one photograph: a barber's stall glowing through plastic sheeting in a market shed in Fushun, north-east China, taken in near-darkness in the winter of 2005. A framed print of it hung for years in a friend's living room, where it drew the same three questions from every visitor — what is it? where was it taken? what's the story? This collection is built to answer those questions: every print carries them already answered. The picture itself is here too — CHI 1001, lit like an old master, questions included.

Scan the code, find the place

On the back of every postcard and greetings card you'll find a QR code, and every print carries its serial number. Scan the code — or enter the serial at reflectphoto.com/find — and you'll land on our map for that series, showing the precise spot where the photograph was made. Read the story behind the picture — and if you're in the area, tap through to Google Maps and go and stand there yourself. The view is free; the print helps you keep it.

Where to buy

Our prints are available as postcards, greetings cards, posters and signed fine art prints — in selected independent shops, and directly through this website. If you run a shop and would like to stock the series, we'd love to hear from you.
