What kind of paper is used?

All artworks are printed on carefully selected, high-quality photographic paper. The choice of material enhances the tonal range, depth and texture, giving each print a timeless, tactile feel.

Are the prints limited editions?

Yes. Every photograph is produced in exclusive, limited editions. Each print is numbered and signed by me, Christoffer Hjalmarsson, making it a collectible work of art.

Are the prints hand-signed?

Yes. All limited edition prints are individually signed and numbered by Christoffer. The signature confirms authenticity and connects you directly to the artist behind the image.

How are the prints shipped?

Are the prints framed?

Prints are sold unframed unless otherwise stated. This allows you to choose framing that suits your interior and personal taste. For best preservation, use acid-free materials and UV-protective glass.

Keep the artwork away from direct sunlight, moisture and heat. Handle it carefully, and always with clean hands or gloves. Proper framing will protect and preserve your print for generations.
