Behind the Prints
Craig Burns
Metallic Glass Prints Photographer
I'm Craig Burns, a nature-obsessed photographer based in Queensland, Australia. I chase bold colour, quiet moments, and hidden details, then transform them into radiant metallic glass artworks. My prints bring a modern perspective to natural landscapes, blooms, and wildlife.
After years of exhibiting in galleries, I'm excited to offer these metallic glass prints online. They capture light beautifully, brighten rooms, and create a stunning focal point in any space. Enjoy exploring the collection and find the piece that speaks to you.

The Story Behind Each Print
Each metallic glass print comes with its own story describing where the image was captured, the light that shaped it, and the spark that makes it special.

Muted greys and cool blues set a calm mood, then that bright leaf lifts the whole scene, a quiet spark in Eungella National Park.
