Description
Dramatic mountain landscape reflected in still, tranquil water. Tumbling into it like green clouds is a thicket of lush trees which enhance the impact of this photograph of the Lake District's Buttermere. Presented in a window mount and a warm silver frame with a champagne brushed effect. Mike Shepherd's beautiful photography aims to achieve a clear description of natural design and elemental simplicity in the landscape. He explores inner light, essence and ideal form. His images are simultaneously realistic and impressionistic. Born in London in 1964, Shepherd took up photography on his sixteenth birthday. A Lancaster University graduate, he came out with a first-class honours degree in Eastern art and architecture, going on to teach photography, digital imaging and digital art at the same university. 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
I really like this print for its calming landscape and versatility. The earthy tones and soft reflection make it perfect for both contemporary and traditional interiors, especially in living rooms or bedrooms where a serene vibe is desired. It works well styled with neutral cushions or throws, and can serve as a focal point on a plain or textured wall. For a cohesive look, consider pairing with similar nature-inspired pieces or simple wooden frames to complement its natural subject matter. Keep the framing simple, and it’ll sit effortlessly in spaces that aim for an understated, relaxed atmosphere.

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.
