Care & Preservation
The Final Touch.
A frame is more than decoration; it is a shelter for the artwork. It separates the image from the noise of the room, giving the silence a space to exist. Here is how to protect your investment for generations.

01. Room to Breathe
Every Limited Edition print includes a white border around the image area. This is not empty space; it is a critical protective zone.
The "Passpartout" Effect:
We strongly recommend using a window mount (mat board). This creates a small air gap
between the artwork and the glass. This gap prevents humidity buildup
and ensures the delicate pigment never touches the glazing directly.
Tip: A thick, white mat board enhances the depth of the black tones in the photograph.
02. Timeless Materials
The frame should support the image, not compete with it. For atmospheric landscape photography, I recommend three classic styles:
Creates a strong boundary. Best for high-contrast prints like the Edge series. It contains the darkness effectively.
Adds warmth and connects the artwork to nature. Works beautifully with snowy landscapes and softer tones.
Pure minimalism. The frame disappears against a white wall, leaving the image floating. Ideal for modern spaces.
03. The Invisible Barrier
Standard glass acts like a mirror. It reflects your room and obscures the dark tones of the photograph. To truly see the art, the glass must disappear.
The Recommendation:
Ask your framer for Museum Glass or Anti-Reflective Art Glass (e.g., Artglass AR 70).
It blocks harmful UV rays (protecting the print from fading) and allows the deep blacks to remain true, without distracting reflections.
Common Questions
Do you sell prints framed?
Currently, I ship prints unframed in durable tubes. This ensures safety during international shipping and allows you to choose a frame that perfectly matches your local interior style.
Can I use a standard store-bought frame?
Yes, the prints are sized to fit many standard frames. However, for longevity, I recommend taking the print to a professional framer who uses archival, acid-free materials.
How do I handle the print?
The surface is delicate. Avoid touching the printed area with bare fingers (oils can damage the pigment). Use cotton gloves or hold the print only by the white edges.
Does the print fade over time?
No. These are archival pigment prints (Giclée) on museum-grade cotton paper. When framed correctly behind UV-glass, they are rated to last over 100 years without fading.
