Story

A Wilder Life

On a spring morning ramble through Rannerdale, the bluebells flowed like water
beneath Whiteless Pike, circling old trees and painting the lower fells in a sea of soft blues. The sweet scent of hawthorn blossom drifted through the air, bracken just beginning to unfurl as I made my way down toward Crummock Water.

Then I stopped, held by the stare of a cautious Herdwick ewe and her twins. One lamb
mirrored its mother’s gaze, as if to say, you’re on our land. I kept my distance but was lucky to make this picture. Around us, more Herdwick mothers dotted the slopes, their grey coats and black lambs perfectly set among the bloom.

On days like this—soft skies above, colour returning to the land, and the presence of these fell-dwelling sheep—everything comes together. A brief, wild harmony.

Meet the Artist

Welcome to the Ian Lawson print store, where my photography captures the spirit of the landscapes I’ve come to know and love—now available as original wall art for your home or workspace. Inspired by book owners who wished to own prints of their favourite images, this growing collection brings together stories gathered across seasons and settings, from wild fell farms in the Lake District to distant Hebridean shorelines.

Each print tells its own story—a moment captured, a memory preserved, and a journey shared. These pieces are created to inspire adventure, rekindle fond memories, and bring lasting joy.

I’m deeply grateful for my customers' ongoing support. Your enthusiasm fuels my creativity and keeps this journey moving. Whether you’re looking for a centrepiece, a gift, or a bespoke installation, I’d love to help. Take your time exploring the collection and find a piece that brings the beauty of your favourite places into your life.

About My Giclée Prints

Beautiful long-life prints using the giclée printing process, which produces exceptionally clear art with superb colour and depth.

Every print in my collection is crafted with a dedication to artistic integrity and a desire to make meaningful, lasting art for your space. These Giclée prints offer a beautifully tangible way to enjoy the landscapes I’ve been fortunate to photograph—bringing the outdoors in, with care and purpose.

  • Fine Art Quality: Each print is produced using the Giclée process on soft textured, 100% natural cotton 345 gsm fine-art media. This allows the details, textures, and tones to be seen just as they were intended—rich, calm, and full of character.
  • Print Design: A clean white border surrounds each image, featuring the title and my artist motif along the lower edge. This subtle detail adds depth and focus to the artwork. Sizes listed include this border and refer to the unframed dimensions.
  • Thoughtful Presentation: Rather than rolling your print, I carefully flat-pack each one with a rigid 3mm backing board and place it inside a crystal-clear, museum-grade cello bag. This simple but essential gesture protects the artwork, allows it to be handled safely without touching the surface, and makes it a joy to receive—whether for yourself or as a gift for someone special. Free UK Shipping.
  • Rolled Prints: Flat-packing is my standard, but in some cases—such as oversized prints or long-haul international deliveries—a wide-diameter, heavy-duty tube provides the best protection. You’ll be able to select this option at checkout when it’s the more suitable choice for your order.
  • Made to Last: When framed with UV-protective Art Glass, these prints can retain their colour and clarity for over 100 years under typical home or office lighting. To preserve their vibrancy, it’s best to avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
  • Framing Made Easy: Prints are available in international ‘A’ sizes (A4, A3, A2, A1), making it easy to find ready-made, high-quality frames online and in high street stores. This convenient sizing helps you frame your artwork beautifully, with minimal fuss.
  • Custom Made to Order: Each print is hand-made with care, just for you, so it’s important to take a moment to ensure your choices are exactly as you intend. As these items are made to order, I’m unable to offer refunds or exchanges for:
    • Changes of mind after 24 hours of placing your order.
    • Incorrect size or option chosen at checkout.

If you have any questions before placing your order, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. I’m always happy to help you make the right choice for your space or a special gift.

Our Framed Prints

Complete your print with our custom framing—a simple, elegant solution that beautifully showcases and protects your artwork.

  • Premium Materials: Each hand-made frame is crafted from sustainably sourced, high-quality timbers. It features a classic gallery design with a 20mm face reveal and 20mm depth profile. The smooth-grained, matte finish adds a subtle touch. Prints are framed without a window mount, allowing the white border to create a clean, modern aesthetic. Ready to hang hanging hardware is attached to the back of the frame.
  • Crystal-Clear Protection: We use ARTGLASS™ AR 99. A museum-grade glass with an anti-reflective coating that prevents annoying reflections. It blocks 99% of UV radiation to preserve the vibrancy of your artwork for years to come. Even so, we recommend keeping framed prints away from direct sunlight. Please note that the Art Glass AR99 we use is considerably more expensive than standard float-glass; however, in my experience, it’s definitely worth the extra investment over the long term.
  • Ready to Display: Each framed print arrives ready to hang, complete with secure D-rings and cord, making installation effortless.
