• Print type: Giclée
• Paper type: Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm

The paper is acid-free and archival, ensuring longevity over decades. Created in a fully color-managed workflow using the paper-specific ICC profile for maximum tonal accuracy.

Hahnemühle Photo Rag is one of the most popular fine art papers among artists, illustrators, and photographers. Its deeply matte surface delivers muted blacks with even color reproduction and excellent detail. The subtle cotton texture gives images a soft, tactile feel and smooth tonal transitions.

Due to its delicate surface, we recommend handling with care. The paper is suitable for mounting, but its natural cotton fibers may fray slightly if not handled properly.

If you select the framed edition (available only in 70 × 100 cm), your artwork will arrive professionally mounted in a black Nielsen Quadrum solid wood frame, handcrafted in Germany from FSC®-certified timber and fitted with 3 mm clear acrylic glazing for protection.

Whispers of the Alley is presented as a museum-grade giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag (308gsm) – a matte, cotton-based archival paper known for its soft surface, natural whites, and timeless character. The absence of gloss allows light and tonal gradients to unfold gently, giving the image a velvety clarity and subtle depth.

This composition reflects the quiet poetry of the medina: a pale door set within textured plaster, softened by fading paint and framed by the rhythm of narrow streets receding into the distance. It is less about narrative than about atmosphere – the interplay of surface and silence, of architectural form and the passage of time.

Printed on Photo Rag, it carries a painterly, organic quality that enhances the calm presence of the scene. As part of the Dustlight Archive, my vision is to preserve these fleeting encounters with place and memory, translating them into enduring fine art objects. Each print is meant to resonate beyond the surface, offering stillness and depth – a fragment of timeless atmosphere for your space.

Your artwork is produced as a museum-grade giclée print, crafted to preserve depth, tone, and detail with archival longevity.

By default, it is supplied unframed and without any mounting or hanging system.

For best results, we recommend:

• Handling: with clean cotton gloves to avoid fingerprints.
• Framing: for longevity, framing behind UV-protective glass or acrylic is recommended.
• Hanging: away from direct sunlight or high humidity to preserve depth and tone.

If you select the framed edition (available only in 70 × 100 cm), your artwork will be professionally mounted in a black Nielsen Quadrum solid wood frame, handcrafted in Germany from FSC®-certified timber.

The frame features a minimal 25 mm × 16 mm profile and is fitted with 3 mm clear acrylic glazing for protection and clarity.

Each frame includes an acid-free backing board, archival insert, and a ready-to-hang nail-mount fixture for secure wall display.
