Black & White Gallery

Each print is produced on carefully selected, museum-quality sustainable paper by Hahnemühle. For black and white, I’ve chosen their sugarcane paper. Offers exceptional texture and tone, while being eco-conscious. To preserve the integrity of each piece, I finish them with a protective spray from the same trusted brand. Please handle with care—bare hands can transfer oils that may affect the print quality.

I don’t believe pure white exists in the buildings and surroundings I photograph—and that’s exactly why I chose these particular papers. True paper is never naturally white; it only becomes so through bleaching. The subtle, natural tones of Hahnemühle’s sustainable sugarcane paper perfectly complement the atmosphere of my work evoking the character of traditional analog prints.

I personally print all pieces up to size A3, using a technique I’ve developed to give my photographs a soft, almost watercolour-like quality. Just as a painter carefully selects their canvas, I carefully select my paper to match the mood and message of each image.

Larger prints are available on request—please reach out for pricing and custom options.
