Richard Manning

After a successful career as a London-based illustrator and photo retoucher with a client list including some of the most widely regarded creative teams working at the time, Richard retired in 2000 to concentrate on producing a series of limited and open edition print collections based around his own photography.

The collections are loosely themed, drawing on inspirations as diverse as the wide, open landscapes of his native Essex countryside and the intriguing details located wihin it, collections of antique glassware, simple flower and fruit still life compositions, the quiet, graceful villages in idyllic French backwaters.

The prints have been bought by a wide range of collectors, from small independant galleries to large distributors, throughout Europe and America.

All the images are shot with a 25 year old Pentax MX, onto transparency film and scanned and worked on.
The open edition prints are printed on 170gsm double sided matt paper with a printed signature.

The limited edition prints are all editions of 200, printed onto Somerset velvet enhanced 100% cotton, mould made coated paper, using lightfast inks, individually signed and numbered. They are issued with a certificate of authenticity, signed and dated.
They are guaranteed for a minimum of 50 years under normal conditions, e.g. in dry areas and not in direct sunlight or bright light.
