Due to the widespread impact of Omicron infections, our partnered carriers across the network are experiencing both a surge in parcel deliveries and major disruptions to their delivery services.
With a significant number of people in self-isolation in accordance with state regulations and public health orders, delivery delays are expected across the network due to driver shortages, depots experiencing temporary closures and/or operating with significantly reduced staff.
At this time we are asking our customers to allow up to an addition 5 business days after the original ETA of their order and we thank them for their understanding and patience.
Whilst we understand that delays of any length can be frustrating, we want to assure you that we are doing everything in our power to get your orders to you as quickly and safely as possible. However, at this timewe are unable to provide any guarantees regarding deliveryandtake no responsibility for delays caused by Couriers and Shipping Agents. When goods leave our factory you will receive a shipping notification with an estimated time of arrival. This is provided to us by our Courier delivery service. It is important to note that this is an ESTIMATE ONLY. Therefore, we advise all of our customers to visit the website of the delivery service provider and use their tracking number to receive more accurate updates and information regarding the delivery of their goods.

Details
With over a decade of experience in photography, Emily Abay’s work embodies femininity, and a natural flow on sun lit curves that epitomises the sensuality of women. Working mainly as a commercial fashion and advertising photographer, Abay has been seen in such magazines as Vogue and Harpers Bazaar and countless international advertising campaigns.
She was once told that photography is just painting with light, and from then on the world became her canvas, with her camera as her brush. She focuses her vision on sexuality in a unique way that is beautiful to women and sends a positive message about self image.
Her love of photography began at a young age – Abay’s mother is a photographer so she spent much of her childhood around photography studios and in dark rooms. Growing up with knowledge of analogue photography, gave her an advantage of appreciation of light in a world of the digital age. She anticipates moments of light before it will hit the camera, which ensures little room for error or the need for technical enhancements to enrich the image. Her awareness and ability to foresee a moment has given her a renowned name in the photography industry..
All Abay prints are limited editions with only 30 copies in each size unless otherwise noted. Your limited edition print comes signed and numbered with a letter of authenticity.
All Abay works come with an additional 5cm border. When framed, each print is dry mounted on archival stock and framed with a quality timber moulding (40mm depth and a 20mm face reveal) set within a high quality clear acrylic glass facing.
