The tower dates back over 800 years. Over 800 years, and it's still doing the same job it was built for. Just with better bulbs! That's what gets me about Hook Head. It looks like any other operational light station with its bold black and white bands and modern optics, but the structure beneath that paint is genuinely medieval.

I made this photograph on an evening when cloud was building from the southwest and the sea was rough, waves breaking hard over the rocks in the foreground. The wind was constant and the light kept breaking through in patches, dancing across the water's surface in a way that's particular to this stretch of the Wexford coast. Not comfortable conditions for standing around with a tripod, but exactly the conditions that make a place like this come alive.

I had the black and white conversion in mind from the start. The tonal range in that sky, the texture in the rock, white water against dark stone. It was always going to work in monochrome. I set up wide to capture the full sweep of the headland and that enormous cloudscape, then watched and waited for the moment when everything aligned.

What fascinates me is how dangerous this coastline must have been before that light existed. The rocks are brutal, the currents unforgiving. Centuries of mariners depended on that tower. A remarkable piece of history hiding in plain sight.

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!
