The Oceans run through my work as its centrepiece.
Can't decide, or want something a little different? I'd love to hear from you - just reach out!
Linda Ness
I hold my breath and wait.
Twenty years of chasing seeking ocean experiences — through a lens, on scuba, or simply lungs-full and still — taught me that the sea rarely repeats itself twice.
South Africa's 2023 Photographer of the Year, my ocean images translate that same obsession into watercolour, batik, and whatever craft currently has my attention.
My belief is simple: people will protect what delights them, not what lectures them.
Beyond my collections, I create bespoke, one-off pieces — if you have something specific in mind, I'd love to bring it to life with you.
All printing is carried out by my favourite print shop Fotomax www.fotomax.co.za in Durban, South Africa.
My website does not accommodate orders and deliveries outside of South Africa, but I will if you ask. If you want digital or really want me to ship beautiful products to you in far off places I will - you need to reach out to info@lindaness.co.za and let's talk!
The fine art prints are printed on Innova Soft White Cotton 280gms, which is a museum quality paper made with 25% cotton linters, featuring a natural white finish and slightly textured surface. This is an indoor product. Simply take them to your favourite framing gallery and get them framed as you like.
Print canvas products are printed on a production canvas. The canvas prints are coated with a protective coating to extend the life of the canvas print as standard, and the edges include 5cm of bleed around for stretching with a reflection printed margin so that the turn downed edges are continuous with the picture and not a plain colour. This is an indoor product. Simply take them to your favourite framing gallery and get them stretched onto a frame.
Print onto aluminium composite sheet. The material I use is a composite, recyclable sheet made of a sandwich of two 0,3mm aluminium sheets with a solid 4mm polyethylene core. It’s beautifully thin, flat and great for digital printing.
The print has no edging, and we will bond a 20mm U-bar frame inset on the back for hanging on the wall, so that the print sits thin, and proud of the wall. The inks used are UV resistant.
There are brushed, matt and gloss options, each of which has its own effect and I’m very happy to advise you on the right choice.
Wallpaper is very possible; take an image you love and splash it on an entire wall.
This image was made this morning off Umhlanga, it's one of the first days of real calm out front - the wind has been beating up and down the coast lately. The water was clear, my neighbors were out surfing and as I walked back up the path the Red Bishop birds were busy making nests for the summer run.
I'm offering it as a three part canvas series, each piece around 800mmx800mm, but if you want it smaller, bigger or even as a solid image just contact me.
