Photography of Sable Island – Limited Edition Prints

About Sable Island and its Wildlife

In the midst of the northwest Atlantic Ocean, 300 km from the maritime city of Halifax, Nova Scotia, sits an exposed and once-expansive sandy plain called Sable Island. Despite its location it is a haven for wildlife. From early December through to late January, the island’s shores support the world’s largest single grey seal colony. The Ipswich sparrow breeds almost exclusively here, and many other birds come here to rest and breed. The resilient character of the island is wholly exemplified in the spirited Sable Island horse that has existed on the island for several centuries. I hope some of the images here allow you to appreciate this remarkable place in the same way I do.

The images shown here are of limited edition; I consider them to have captured something extra special, perhaps a sense of ‘kairos‘.

The images of Lidgard Photography were taken over a number of years from Sable Island, Nova Scotia, as well as other locations within Atlantic Canada.

Images are printed on a German fine art paper (Hahnemühle) with Epson UltraChrome pigment inks, providing outstanding colour and texture. Each print is numbered, signed and has a Certificate of Authenticity. Matted prints are presented in a white archival double mat with an archival foamcore backing. Archival materials are acid-free and help prolong the life of the print. Each piece is signed in pencil by the artist.
