💡 Peter's tip:

For a living room or above a sofa, Feature or Showcase sizes give the best impact. Unframed prints are perfect if you'd like to choose your own frame.

Three or four minutes. That's all the light gave me. I was above Portmagee with the drone already up when a single break appeared in a solid wall of cloud, and a shaft of warm golden light dropped straight onto Bray Head. The moorland on top lit up like it was on fire while the Fogher Cliffs stayed in deep shadow. Behind the island, rain was falling over the mainland mountains, a grey curtain that made the warm headland glow even harder against it.

What gets me about this viewpoint is the contradiction. Bray Head in the foreground is all vertical dark slate and sea stacks being slowly taken apart by the Atlantic. Exposed, battered, raw. And then beyond it, Valentia opens out into gentle green farmland and quiet hedgerows before the Sound separates it from the mainland. Same island. You'd hardly know it.

I've photographed this headland many times over the years. Different seasons, different light, slightly different positions. But this particular morning the weather handed me something I hadn't seen before. Five minutes either side and the whole scene was flat again. That's the Kerry coast for you!

We produce all our prints to order, so you can be sure you're getting the best quality work to hang on your wall. As a result, in busy times it can take a while to process the orders. In the worst case, which is generally during the peak months of July-September, it can take 4-6 weeks to receive large framed prints. Large canvases generally take 2-3 weeks. Unframed prints are generally also 2-3 weeks at worst.

We aim to get prints out as quickly as possible, so we would expect and hope that you would receive them earlier than the above timeframes. If you have a particular need to get a print quickly, please let us know in the order notes and we'll prioritize it for you, or you can email us at info@petercox.ie.

Prints are well-packaged and in the unlikely event that it arrives damaged, we'll send a replacement free of charge. 

When your order ships, you'll receive an email with your tracking number.

Thanks for your trust, and we hope you get many years of enjoyment from your new print!

Saw this 7 years ago in Killarney in the gallery and should have bought it then. Bought it online this spring, and arrived quickly, with great communication! Has been framed, hung, and is being enjoyed! Even the framer said it was an AMAZING photograph!

This picture is magnificent in that it captures the essence of the Little Skellig Island. Every time I look at it over my sofa, I remember feeling grateful for traveling to Ireland and experiencing the way your photography mesmerized me.

I ordered Peter Cox's stunning photo of Small Skellig which now sits in my main foyer at home. I get as much enjoyment from looking at it every time I come home as I do explaining its origins to guests who remark and ask about it when they arrive!
