Vertical Wall Art
Ninety three photographs made tall rather than wide. Vertical prints solve the walls panoramic cannot: the hallway, the stairwell, the strip beside a door, the space between two windows. Height is the point, not a compromise.
Start with proportion, then choose a subject that pulls the eye upward through light, texture and distance.

Choose by image.
The walls nothing else fits
Most rooms have at least one wall that is taller than it is wide, and most print catalogues ignore them. These photographs are made for those walls, and they are composed for height rather than cropped down to it.
Where vertical works hardest
Stairwells, where the eye travels up anyway. Hallways, where you pass close and see the print in sections. Narrow returns beside doorways. Pairs either side of a bed or a fireplace.
What suits the format
Falling water, timber, cliff faces and anything with a strong upward line. Elephant Parade is one of the pieces made for this shape rather than adapted to it.
Hanging them
Vertical prints hang lower than you expect. Centre the image at eye level rather than centring it on the wall, particularly in a hallway where you view from close range.
If you need width instead
The panoramic range covers the long walls, and square sits between the two for grouping.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many vertical prints are there?
Ninety three, against seven hundred and fifty six panoramic. It is a smaller range because Australian country more often resolves horizontally, so the vertical work is deliberate rather than incidental.
What size suits a hallway?
Smaller than you would choose for an open wall, because you view a hallway print from close range. The 18 to 30 inch sizes usually work better there than the large end of the ladder.
Can any photograph be printed vertically?
No. The shapes available for each photograph are listed on its own print page, and they follow how the image was composed rather than being cropped to order.
Do vertical prints come framed?
Yes, in sustainable timber in white, black or mocha, with lightweight optically clear glazing. Frames are fitted with two D rings so they hang on a standard track system.
