Coming soon: fine art prints and art photo books created by Jean-François Naturel, an author photographer in Paris.
Museum-quality paper, rich colors and unique textures for your collections or decorating your spaces.
The characteristics of a photographic art print
Whether made of cotton, bamboo, or a blend of specific fibers, each paper has its own aesthetic qualities — its unique thickness, texture, and, for some, a subtle film-like grain.
Only a few professional laboratories are capable of producing such prints, given the cost and sophistication of the printers involved. The primary technique used is pigment inkjet printing, which ensures exceptional color reproduction and long-term durability.
A true fine art print is made to last. It resists fading and the effects of time, thanks to the quality of the pigments and the choice of Fine Art paper.
A photographic fine art print can only be produced as a limited edition — no more than 30 copies in total, all formats included. Each print must be signed and numbered by the photographer to indicate its place within the edition (for example, 3/10). It must also come with a certificate of authenticity, personally signed and verified by the photographer to guarantee the quality of the print.
The guiding principle behind these standards is to offer the collector an artwork of exceptional quality — both visually and materially rare, produced in very limited quantities. As such, acquiring a fine art print also entitles the buyer to certain tax benefits.
About Fine Art Papers
Hahnemühle and Canson
Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta
Hahnemühle Fine Art Baryta paper stands out for its warm white tone and glossy surface, offering exceptional color rendering and rich, balanced contrast. It is equally suitable for both color and black-and-white fine art photography. This paper beautifully recalls the traditional baryta paper cherished in classic film photography.
Canson Rag Photographique
Canson Rag Photographique is another highly regarded paper in the demanding world of fine art printing. With its naturally warm tone and smooth matte texture of great depth, it is known for its versatility. However, it is generally best suited for color fine art prints.
Canson Baryta Prestige II
Canson Baryta Prestige II, with its barium sulphate coating, evokes the traditional look of analog photographic paper from the golden age of photography. If you appreciate high-quality black-and-white prints, this paper is ideal. Its glossy surface and natural white tone produce deep grey nuances and vibrant contrasts for an outstanding visual result.
Custom Paper Option
If you have a preferred paper of your own, I can print your artwork on it — simply let me know when placing your order.
Please note:
At the moment, I only offer fine art paper prints. These are delivered unmounted and unframed, signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.
ABOUT THE BOOKS
Introducing upcoming photo books
My photographic series will soon come to life in a new form: fine art photo books. Designed as true works of art, they will offer an immersion into my visual worlds, whether it be minimalist photography, urban architecture or creations inspired by literature and the imagination.
Each book will be conceived as a visual and sensory experience: a narrative journey where images converse with one another, accompanied by carefully chosen texts to enrich the reading experience. Printed on museum-quality paper and bound with meticulous care, these photo books will combine aesthetics, technical excellence, and artistic emotion.
These books will appeal to collectors, contemporary photography enthusiasts, and anyone who wishes to preserve a tangible record of my work. More than just a collection of images, each edition will be an invitation to journey into a unique visual universe, a world of lines, silences, and urban poetry.
