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.
Sentry Stand - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print captures a female Red-backed Fairywren poised on the edge of a shipping container, tail lifted like a pennant as she surveys the scene. The industrial green becomes her watchtower, the blue sky a calm backdrop, and for a heartbeat she is the lookout for her lively clan.

Caper Sail - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print captures a Caper White Butterfly poised on a fresh Lantana bloom, its lemon and charcoal wings lit against soft, circular bokeh.

The gentle blur behind makes the colours feel luminous, giving this metallic glass print a calm, almost weightless presence.

Fenceline Flutter - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print pauses with a female Red-backed Fairywren perched on a single strand of barbed wire, her tiny form held against a soft rush of greens. The metallic photographic layer heightens the fine feathering on her flanks and the lifted, wren-like tail, while the face-mounted glass adds luminous depth so she seems to hover in the quiet air.

Azalea Bloom - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print lingers on a Azalea bloom opening among glossy leaves, its petals a delicate blush that seems to glow from within. Soft pinks drift through the foreground while fresher greens recede behind, so your eye settles gently on the flower’s ruffled heart. The metallic photographic layer enriches colour and micro-detail, and the face-mounted glass lends luminous depth so the blossom appears to float in calm air.

Brazilian Beauty - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print lingers on a spray of Brazilian Nightshade blossoms, each star-shaped petal tipped in soft purple with tiny golden hearts. The flowers tilt from a cluster of green berries and leaves, suspended against a gentle, painterly field of green. The metallic photographic layer enriches colour and micro-detail, while face-mounting behind crystal-clear glass adds luminous depth so the blooms seem to float in quiet air.

Tropic Ember - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print holds the hush of evening over Queens Bay near Bowen. The water is visibly unsettled, and those lively ripples make the colours dance across the surface while two boats rest in silhouette. The metallic photographic layer intensifies the saturated hues and glittering micro-detail, and face-mounting behind crystal clear glass gives luminous depth and a floating presence that draws you in each time you pass.

Pasture Roam - Metallic Glass Print
This metallic glass print is a beautiful and immersive look at a rural landscape. It captures a moment of tranquil pastoral life, where the rolling hills and gentle movement of cattle create a sense of deep peace. The absence of a single, central subject invites the viewer's eye to wander and appreciate the full, sweeping vista.
This photograph was taken in the rolling hills of the Eungella Hinterland near Broken River. The farm practices rotational grazing, a system where t
