No.

I find frames (and mats) are a very personal choice. They need to fit your existing art work and interior design style, and are heavily influenced by contemporary trends.

I make sure that all art work is printed in standard sizes; frames (and mats) can easily be found. I feel that the prints look gorgeous with a generous white mat (2in / 5cm or more). If you do frame with a mat, make it a confident one.

You do the mat and frame. Or nothing at all. The prints will be happy either way :-)

All prints are in the width x length ratio of digital photography:

3:2 (landscape format)
2:3 (portrait format)
1:1 (square format).

The available sizes (see individual products) are the actual sizes of the print. I print full-width. No white borders, they are just in the interior design examples to show you an alternative way to frame them with a mat.

Yes. Black and white photography is elegant and timeless. More importantly, it supports the strong artistic statement of the Japanese Shibui aesthetics: Simple, subtle, and unobtrusive beauty.

No. I do not believe in the word "limited". I do not believe in scarcity. I believe in generosity and abundance.

Available print sizes vary from print to print. Please see individual product pages for more information on available print sizes.

I use Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper.

It is a vegan, certified matte paper, made of 100% cotton rag with a natural white tone and excellent black saturation. It has a soft texture with a lightly defined felt structure. With Hahnemühle Photo Rag your print is museum quality wall art.

I love it! It is perfect for my kind of abstract, sensuous nature photography. Please handle with care.

All prints are created using the Giclée fine art printing method by a premium fine art printer.

Giclée fine art printing is the gold standard when it comes to producing museum-level quality prints. Archival inks used on Giclée printers won’t fade when displayed in normal conditions indoors; colours will retain their brilliance for a lifetime.

Yes, they are as eco-friendly as can be.

I never travel solely for my nature photography. My camera is always with me. On my daily dog walks, on vacation, and of course during assignments.

Hahnemühle Photo Rag paper is vegan, plastic free, and made from sustainably sourced paper.

The art work is printed using water-based inks. The archival inks used on Giclée printers won’t fade when displayed in normal conditions indoors; colours will retain their brilliance for a 125+ years.

Local fulfilment, whenever possible, reduces carbon emissions. We use recycled cardboard tubes for packaging.
