FINE ART PRINTS

I offer my photographs as original works of art – from traditional, hand-printed photographs to signed fine art prints. Each has its own story and a unique approach to its creation.

The final presentation of a photograph matters to me just as much as the image itself. I prepare each photograph with careful attention to its character, technical quality and long-term preservation. I use both traditional photographic processes and modern printing technologies, depending on what best suits each individual work.

My photographs are available in various formats, limited editions and as one-of-a-kind originals. Each work is signed, and selected editions include a certificate of authenticity. Mounting and framing vary depending on the individual photograph.

Hand-Printed Photographs – Gelatin Silver Prints

Traditional analogue photographs printed on gelatin silver paper. I personally enlarge each photograph from a film negative using the traditional wet process in the darkroom. Developer, fixer, washing, drying, flattening and final retouching – all of these steps are part of a process that requires time, patience and experience.

Each print is the result of individual craftsmanship and may therefore differ slightly in its details. These photographs are often produced in editions of just one to three prints.

Pigment Printing – Giclée

Modern pigment printing technology makes it possible to create photographic works with exceptional detail, rich tonal depth and long-lasting quality.

I print my photographs on archival fine art papers, primarily Hahnemühle / Canson. I choose the paper according to the character of each photograph, its tonal qualities and the final visual expression. One of my favourites is Hahnemühle FineArt Baryta.

Photograph Care and Usage

For long-term preservation, I recommend keeping photographs away from direct sunlight, high humidity and excessive temperatures. Depending on the individual presentation, framed works may feature protective glass, including UV-protective options.

Photographs are intended for personal use and display in private spaces. Reproduction, online or print publication, or any other public or commercial use requires my prior written consent.

If you would like more information about a particular photograph or are interested in a personal meeting, please feel free to contact me. I would be happy to arrange a visit to my studio.
