Description
The sky is reflected on coastal water in this work by Mike Shepherd. The digital print is mounted and sits within a metallic-effect frame. Embellishments have been added to this work to highlight areas of the picture. Protecting the image, the front is made of lightweight plastic, a less fragile material compared to glass but equally as transparent. Mike Shepherd's beautiful photography aims to achieve a clear description of natural design and elemental simplicity in the landscape. Through his floral design he explores inner light, essence and ideal form. His images are simultaneously realistic and impressionistic. He was born in London 1964 and took up photography on his 16th birthday. A Lancaster University graduate, he came out with a first-class honours in Eastern art and architecture, going on to teach photography, digital imaging, and digital art at the same uni. After this, he embarked on his now full-time career as a landscape photographer, where he is strongly influenced by the American landscape monochrome tradition.

Our Stylist Says
This piece is a versatile choice for adding a calming, contemporary touch to various interiors. I love its sleek silver frame paired with the multi-coloured print, which lends a modern yet sophisticated feel. It's especially effective in minimal or coastal-inspired spaces, where it can bring a sense of tranquility and open-up the room. Practical styling tips include pairing it with neutral tones and simple furnishings to let the artwork stand out, or creating a gallery wall with complementary pieces for added visual interest. Given its substantial size, it works well above sideboards, in living rooms, or hallways where it can make a striking focal point.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
