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.
Honeybee Bloom - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print frames a honeybee resting on a cluster of powder-blue blooms. The wings are crisp, the petals soft and airy, and the background falls away into gentle blur so the bee sits clearly in the centre of a blue sea. Tones run from luminous near-white petals to deep, inky shadows, giving the scene a clean, modern contrast.
The beautiful plant, a Plumbago (Plumbago Auriculata) has deep-blue clusters on airy sprays that bees can’t resist. This particular plan

Bromeliad Blaze - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print captures a Bromeliad flame rising through rainforest shadow. Layered bracts push forward like sparks, tipped in deep red with fine, inky edges. Soft fall-off carries your eye along the long flower, while fresh green shoots at the base cool the palette.
Bromeliads are full of surprises. Many species grow perched on trees while others root in soil, storing rainwater in leaf cups that become tiny habitats. Each rosette flowers only once, then sends out

Luminous Iris - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print looks straight down into a Iris flower with a calm, geometric symmetry. Broad white petals stretch like blades, each brushed with golden yellow, while a soft lilac rosette curls at the centre. Detail is crisp, the background falls to a smooth green blur, so the bloom reads cleanly and feels modern on the wall.
These flowers rise on long stalks. I found a stand of them circling a White Cedar tree, several plants throwing up tall blooms at once. From

Iridescent Iris - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print looks straight down into a single Iris bloom, revealing an elegant order of threes. Three broad white petals carry warm yellow markings. Three inner petals curl with a soft purple tint. The flower sits crisp against a deep green blur, so the form reads clean and clear.

Blue Bloom - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print captures a honeybee poised among sky-blue plumbago blooms. The bee’s stripes and wings are tack-sharp while the petals drift into soft bokeh, so your eye settles on that single moment of stillness. Tones move from luminous near-white blossoms to deep, inky blues, giving the scene a clean, modern contrast.
Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata) thrives in Broken River gardens at Eungella, and this plant was in full flush when I found it, a sweeping cloud o
