Milky Way over Aoraki — Hooker Valley

The sky takes over on the clearest nights in Mt Cook National Park. This photograph captures the Milky Way arching from horizon to horizon in a blaze of stars and galactic core, a green wash of Aurora Australis glowing at the base of the ranges, and the snow-covered peak of Aoraki reduced to an afterthought at the bottom of the frame. It is a reminder of how small the mountains are, and how vast everything else is.

This is a print unlike anything else on a wall. The scale and intensity of the night sky demand a large format — the bigger the better — and the deep greens and blues work beautifully in a dark, considered interior or against a white wall where the image becomes the entire focal point of the room.

A perfect gift for the stargazer, the adventurer, or anyone who has stood in the Hooker Valley on a clear winter night and felt the universe open up above them.

This photograph from my Canterbury Open Edition images comes in a 2:3 aspect with three different finishing options. Please choose from the following selection to make it uniquely yours.

Acrylic Print

Perfect for any room where gallery quality is optimal, our Acrylic Prints are also ideal for bathrooms and wet areas.

Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional substrate using archival inks, and then mounted in-house on crystal clear acrylic for a back-lit appearance and unrivaled vibrancy.

Finally, it will be seamed with 4mm ACM (Aluminium Composite Material) for a modern frameless finish. A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.

ACM Wall Art

Our ACM Wall Art prints are sleek and non-reflective. Your photograph will be printed in our boutique print studio on Kodak Professional Paper using archival inks and then mounted in-house on 4mm ACM.

A custom hanger is attached before the print is securely packaged and sent to you, ready to hang on your wall.
