Chengdu Bridge Reflection on River | Limited Edition of 10
Fine Art Wall Print of Chengdu Bridge at Dusk
The first time I saw this bridge, the river was as calm as could be. That kind of calm that almost doesn’t feel real. No ripple, no wind. Just a perfect, unbroken mirror stretching under the lights of Chengdu.
What struck me most wasn’t just the symmetry—it was the contrast. The ancient silhouette of the bridge glows warm against a backdrop of glass towers. The past and present—stacked and shining—all suspended in that still water. The city never stopped moving behind me, but for a moment, this scene stood perfectly still.
This wasn’t a planned shot. I didn’t scout it. I was walking the riverwalk just after dusk when the lights came up and caught the arches just right. It stopped me cold. The bridge seemed to float, its reflection more vivid than the structure itself. That kind of clarity doesn’t last long. But I had just enough time.
There’s elegance here, but also weight. That bridge isn’t a backdrop. It’s the soul of the image. Carved stone, arched spans, that ornate rooftop—built not just to cross water, but to honour it. It’s a reminder that even in the fast-paced modern China, there are places that still know how to appreciate beauty.
I didn’t need to frame much. The scene did the work—centred symmetry. Quiet light. Still water. It all came together in a moment that felt impossibly deliberate. But nothing about it was staged. That’s what I love about photography like this—when the world sets the table, and all I have to do is be ready.

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.
