This trip to Antarctica was almost a challenge for me. Because of my disability, I have difficulty walking, I am afraid of the cold, and yet we passed Cape Horn or the Drake Passage in stormy seas without any problem. It is while returning to Paris, on a flat ground, while sneezing that I fell and broke my hand. So, photography protects from everything!" "I love light. It's what makes any subject interesting, whether it's a portrait a portrait, a look or a landscape..." Olivier GOY

Anecdote

And yes, in Antarctica, this is called a penguin!

ANTI-REFLECTION MUSEUM GLASS

Only available for the Classic format 40x50cm

The framed gallery formats include a white passe-partout, creating a space between the print and the acrylic glass plate of the frame. It is a cardboard plate covered with laid paper on which we cut out a bevelled window to accommodate the print. This passe-partout highlights the artwork and gives it greater depth. Invisible and reflection-free, it ensures perfect colour restitution and allows the details to emerge without the slightest alteration, so that the attention is focused on the artwork.

Expert Advice :
Anti-reflective glass is adapted to bright rooms with direct exposure to sunlight.

MOUNTED FRAMES

6 Frames Available

The print is inserted into a 480 mm thick solid-wood, custom-built frame, assembled by hand. On the sides of the frame, we find two notches allowing the work to be hung directly.

This frame, known as the shadowgap frame, leaves a 15 mm wide space from the artwork, giving the artwork a sensation of floating in its frame, thus contributing an effect of lightness and depth. The shadowgap frame is available in six colours: These frames are available for mounted formats.

For security reasons, please note that the artworks are not delivered inside the frame. The frames are not available in Exception format.
