His stunning pictures of Dorset have won him a legion of fans in the UK and across the world as well as more than 20,000 followers on social media.
Now talented landscape photographer Jack Lodge is producing a limited edition box set at the end of each season with three A4 sized (8.3” x 11.7” ) prints of his favourite photographs captured during the preceding months.
They are printed and signed by Jack, who lives in Wimborne, with edition numbers on a separate cover sheet.
All are included within a black presentation box for safe, long term storage with the box set as a whole limited to 50 copies.
Jack, pictured left on location and who featured on Dorset Biz News in July 2020, said: “As a local landscape photographer, my one passion is to capture and document the change of seasons across Dorset.
“The transition from bare trees to fresh Spring greens, the noise of magical woodlands as the forest floor fills with bluebells and wild garlic, I adore each season and the photographic opportunities it delivers.
“Over lockdown, I spent a fair amount of time furloughed from my daily job, giving me plenty of time to focus on my landscape photography and discover the wonderful world of printing.
“There’s nothing like seeing an image you captured come to life on paper, it really is the most rewarding experience and one that I encourage others to do as much as possible.
“Social media is great for connecting, engaging and sharing, but there’s something about holding an image on some textured fine-art paper that completes the experience of being a landscape photographer.
“Each image seems to be brought to life through the magical, tactile experience of print and everyone can now experience this for themselves through my new seasonal box sets.”
Jack, who only took up photography in the last five years, said he was using Fotospeed Platinum Etching 285 Signature paper for the prints.
He said: “Platinum Etching 285 is a new 100 per cent acid free, fine art paper with a velvety, textured surface.
“A natural white base and state of the art ink-receiving layer, delivers a high D-Max and wide colour gamut.
” Platinum Etching is 25 per cent cotton and 75 per cent alpha-cellulose.
“When used in conjunction with pigment inks, the paper will ensure a print life of more than 85 years.
“With over half sold within the first month, I am absolutely flattered that people are willing to support me on my landscape photography journey, and like me, want the experience of holding a tactile fine-art print themselves.
“It really is the best way to see your art.”
