Materials

Printed with Canon Lucia Pro 12-pigment inks at the highest resolution, on Hahnemühle Baryta Photo Rag 315gsm 100% cotton paper. This museum-grade combination guarantees archival permanence for over 100 years, preserving the depth and elegance of black-and-white photography.

Framing
Framing is an integral part of the artwork. Our selected frame is crafted from solid black-painted oak wood, with all components of archival grade. Each piece is protected by museum-grade glazing with UV filtering, ensuring both preservation and presentation. Prints are handled exclusively with cotton gloves throughout the process.

Available sizes (approximate, depending on the mat cut):
• Small: 44 × 34 cm
• Medium: 58 × 46 cm
• Large: 78 × 60 cm

This careful attention to both materials and framing reflects the craftsmanship and longevity that define every artwork.

View full details

Photographed in Kymi, Euboea, this black and white image is structured around frontal presence.

The subject is positioned centrally, facing the camera directly. Her posture is upright, with both hands holding the garment at chest level, creating a compact and stable form.

The environment consists of dense vertical reeds surrounding the figure. The background is continuous, with no open space, enclosing the subject within a textured field.

The relationship between subject and environment is one of compression. The vertical lines of the reeds reinforce the figure’s stance, limiting spatial depth and focusing attention on the body.

Light is direct and contrast-driven. Highlights define the facial structure and costume details, while shadows deepen the surrounding vegetation, creating separation through tonal control.

Part of the Caryatis series, a long-term body of work exploring traditional Greek costume through directed portraiture.

Printed as an archival pigment print on Hahnemühle fine art paper.
