Old jail cell door Kilmainham Gaol | Limited Edition of 10
As I wandered through the historic Kilmainham Gaol in Dublin, Ireland, I was captivated by the haunting atmosphere of an old jail cell door, standing in stark contrast against the crumbling stone walls that once imprisoned its occupants. The passage of time had left its mark on the jail's interior, and I felt compelled to capture this poignant vestige of history through my lens.
With its weathered surface and heavy metal hinges, the wooden cell door evoked a profound sense of confinement and despair. It stood as a testament to the harrowing experiences of the prisoners once held within. The delicate play of light filtering through the windows created an eerie, captivating, and chilling atmosphere.
As a fine art photographer, I aimed to preserve the emotion and essence of Kilmainham Gaol, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the site's rich and tumultuous past. The black and white composition accentuates the starkness of the environment and invites contemplation on the human stories that unfolded behind that foreboding door.
This fine-art photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the darker chapters of human history and the resilience of the human spirit that endures even in the face of adversity.

Limited Edition of 10
This photograph is released as a signed and numbered limited edition of only 10 prints in total across all available sizes combined—not 10 prints in each size.
Every size is drawn from the same edition. Whether the photograph is purchased as a small print or at the largest available size, it uses one of the 10 edition numbers.
I personally sign and number each print on the reverse, and every print is accompanied by a signed Certificate of Authenticity recording its title, dimensions, medium, edition number, and date of issue.
Once all 10 prints have been sold, the edition will be permanently closed. No additional numbered editions of the photograph will be produced in another size or format.
Premium Archival Fine Art Prints
I personally produce every photograph using archival pigment inks on premium archival paper with a subtle luster finish.
The paper provides rich tonal depth, excellent fine-detail reproduction, and a refined surface that reduces distracting glare under normal indoor lighting. It is especially well suited to both color and black-and-white photography.
Each photograph is sold as an unframed fine art print, allowing it to be framed according to the collector’s space and personal style.
Before a print leaves my studio, I carefully inspect it for color, tonal accuracy, surface quality, and overall presentation. Nothing is outsourced, and every finished print passes through my hands.
Worldwide Delivery Included
Every print is personally produced, inspected, signed, numbered, and carefully packaged by me at my studio in Haliburton, Ontario, Canada.
Worldwide delivery is included in the listed price, so there is no additional shipping charge added during checkout. I select an appropriate tracked delivery service based on the destination, print size, and current shipping requirements.
Delivery times vary by destination and may be affected by customs processing or circumstances beyond my control.
Because I also travel extensively to create new photographic work, studio dispatch may occasionally be delayed while I am away. When that happens, the print will be produced and shipped as soon as I return to the studio.
