Behind the Lens: Stories from our Photography Adventures

Behind the Lens: Stories from our Photography Adventures

Welcome to our third instalment of our new blog series, "Behind the Lens," where we invite you to explore the incredible stories woven into our photography.

In this instalment, we share the extraordinary tales behind four of our fine art photography prints.

"Sundown River"

The Sundown River photography print by FN Prints captures a serene Cambodian river scene at sunset, with calm waters reflecting the orange and pink hues of the sky. Flanked by tall trees on both sides, a small boat is moored to the left shore while a lone figure floats in the distance at the center of the river. This idyllic moment is perfectly preserved in this beautiful print.

In the heart of Cambodia, amidst a journey of self-discovery, Jamal absorbed the vibrant world of photography on a specialised photography tour.

That day had begun in the predawn stillness at Angkor Wat.

Now, as the day yielded to dusk, he found tranquility on a Siem Reap River tour. The boat drifted smoothly across the river, the golden glow of sunset spreading over the tranquil waters like a whispered promise of peace.

The scene captured in "Sundown River" is a testament to moments of reflection and gratitude, a serene pause in an extraordinary adventure.

"Golden Beach"

Palm trees sway gently on a sandy beach at sunset, with the sun hanging low over the horizon and casting a warm golden hue over the calm ocean waves. This tranquil and beautiful scene is perfect for tropical wall art, capturing the essence of Golden Beach by FN Prints photography.

Our first expedition to India in 2017 was a leap into the unknown for Liz, a place she hadn’t yearned to explore but one Jamal cherished deeply.

Goa, with its vibrant culture and serene landscapes, overturned all her reservations. During our stay at a lodge perched atop Little Vagator, we were greeted each evening by the golden sands of Ozran Beach laid out below us.

"Golden Beach" encapsulates this transformation—a view from our terrace, where the horizon glimmered in gold through the flowing palm trees, mirroring our newfound love for a place that would become a treasured escape.

"Golden Gate Cyclist"

The Golden Gate Cyclist photography print by FN Prints captures the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco under a sky with gentle pink and orange clouds. In the foreground, cyclists ride along a winding path, with the iconic red bridge and the bay prominently displayed in the background.

In 2009, the iconic silhouette of the Golden Gate Bridge beckoned Jamal during a brief respite from work meetings in San Francisco.

As the sun began to dip, he pursued the perfect vantage point to harmonize the bridge's lines with the setting sun.

After hours of exploration, he found his spot: a hill overlooking the cycling path.

"Golden Gate Cyclist" captures this instant — cyclists cutting effortlessly across the scene, offering a fresh perspective on an architectural masterpiece.

"Bathed in Enlightenment"

In the serene, dimly lit space, a Cambodian Buddhist monk draped in an orange robe stands with his back to the camera, holding an orange book. Sunlight streams in, illuminating the vibrant color of his robe and evoking a moment of spiritual enlightenment. This tranquil scene is captured exquisitely in "Bathed in Enlightenment" by FN Prints.

In Cambodia, the air of Angkor Wat carries whispers of ages past.

On the same journey that brought forth "Staircase of Gold", Jamal was once more guided by a monk deeply connected to the temple's sacred heart.

In a secluded, darkened chamber, a fellow monk stood absorbed in a text, bathed in a beam of celestial light that cut through the shadows like hope through despair.

"Bathed in Enlightenment" is a tribute to those moments of spiritual clarity that illuminate our paths, captured in time through Jamal's lens.
