A Guiding Light Under the Stars

High above the waters of the English Channel, Beachy Head Lighthouse stands as a beacon of resilience, its red-and-white form dwarfed by the towering cliffs that have watched over it for centuries. On this warm summer night, under pristine skies, the lighthouse sent its beam across the calm sea below while the Milky Way arched overhead in a celestial display of infinite depth.

The rugged edge of the cliffs adds drama and perspective, leading you naturally down toward the lighthouse and then up into the vastness beyond. The soft glow on the horizon contrasts with the cool blues and deep blacks of the sky, while subtle textures in the grass adding a tactile depth to the foreground.

This fine art print is a stunning combination of land, sea, and sky—an invitation to stand at the edge of the world and gaze into the infinite. A powerful piece for lovers of astrophotography, seascapes, and the profound beauty of the night.

Why Choose This Print?

Perched on the dramatic cliffs of Beachy Head, this breath-taking scene captures the Milky Way stretching high above the iconic lighthouse below. The beam of light cuts through the darkness, guiding sailors as it has for generations, while the towering chalk cliffs add a sense of scale and grandeur. The perfectly clear summer night allowed for an incredible level of detail in the stars, making this an image that blends terrestrial beauty with celestial wonder. This print is ideal for those who appreciate the raw power of nature, nightscapes, and the timeless symbolism of lighthouses beneath the cosmos.

Available as a premium print, canvas, or glass to suit your display preference.

Prints

This photo is available in a range of sizes, as a print on Fujicolor Professional DP II Lustre photographic paper. This paper has a semi-matte finish that enhances the colours and details of the photo, while also providing excellent resistance to fading and fingerprints.

Canvas

Framed with 100% solid pine, my canvases are hand stretched for a professional and durable finish. A canvas will give your photo a more textured and artistic look, as well as a gallery-style appearance.

Glass

Crafted on UK Pilkington glass offering exceptional durability and clarity, my work really shines on this medium. Each photo is UV printed to the glass, giving you a vibrant and vivid result.

Important Information

Cropping

Please note that some cropping may occur depending on the size you choose for your photo. This is because different sizes have different aspect ratios, which affect how the photo fits on the paper, canvas or glass. I will try to preserve as much of the original photo as possible, but some edges may be cut off to avoid distortion or blank spaces, or to accommodate the chosen size.

Colour Reproduction

Also, please be aware that colours may vary from what you see on your screen to what you receive in print. This is because different screens have different settings and calibrations, which affect how colours are displayed. Additionally, printing techniques and materials may also cause some slight differences in colour reproduction and saturation. The labs I print with use high-quality printers and papers to ensure that the photo looks as close to the original as possible, but some minor variations are inevitable and normal. If you have any questions or concerns about the colours of your photo, please contact me before you place your order.

Returns and Refunds

Due to the nature of my products, I do not offer refunds or returns after the sale. However, I understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. If your order arrives damaged in transit, please contact me immediately with a photo of the damaged item. I will replace the damaged item at no additional cost to you. Please note: I cannot be held responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.

I hope you enjoy your photo and thank you for choosing SRB Photos.
