Originals in this selection, Manipulated, Photo, 1,000 to 2,000 euro.
Formats from 80 x 80 to 80 x 100 cm.
Editing as handwriting
Manipulated photography begins where the camera stops: layers are stacked, colors shifted, things brought together that never stood side by side. If you want manipulated photo prints for sale at 1,000 to 2,000 euro, you are after pictures with a puzzle in them.
Montage, multiple exposure, retouching, digital reworking: each method sets different accents. What matters is that the intervention is visibly intentional. On photographic paper even finely layered details stay legible, even when the format turns out large.

A conversation piece
A montaged picture challenges viewers to look longer. In a living room or office it rewards discovery without being loud. A neutral frame lets the image take the lead, whereas an ornate one would compete with the layers inside the picture.
Pointers for choosing
Read how the picture was made and which paper was chosen. With edited photographs, edition and numbering matter just as much, so you know how rare the print is. A note on the source material helps place the work.
