Let us start by pointing out that photographs are always dependent on environmental influences; their appearance and colour can change and fade. To ensure you keep enjoying my works of art, you should not expose photographs, laminations or frames, either in part or in full, to direct sunlight, hang them directly above heating appliances or expose them to a higher level of humidity than expected in a normal living room.
The limited edition prints are therefore not suitable for external areas, cellars, bathrooms or kitchens. Acrylic glass and wooden frames are very sensitive to scratches and dirt and should therefore only be handled with gloves or equivalent protection.
