Artist`s Tale:
Two Formations, Not One
Most photographs of Egypt`s White Desert isolate a single chalk formation as the subject. "The Knight And The Squire" does the opposite, built around a pair — one noticeably taller and more upright, the other smaller and positioned close beside it, close enough in relative scale and arrangement to read as two figures rather than two unrelated rocks. Both formed the same way, carved by wind erosion out of the same ancient seabed limestone, but wind doesn`t erode identical shapes from identical starting material; every formation in the White Desert ends up with its own individual proportions depending on small variations in the rock`s density and the angle it faced the prevailing wind. That pairing is really what sets this piece apart from the desert`s more commonly photographed solitary mushroom-shaped rocks — a composition built around relationship and scale between two shapes, rather than the character of a single one.Print Information:
Alexander Vershinin individually produces limited edition prints to museum-grade standards, on world-leading photographic paper. The
Fujiflex Crystal Archive is an ultra-high-gloss, museum-grade photographic paper, with archival properties spanning over 70 years.
Alexander also offers the trademarked printing and mounting process
Lumachrome Gallery Deluxe, with archival properties spanning over 120 years.
Both processes deliver exceptional sharpness, contrast, and color reproduction.
Concentrated light hits the print, is held briefly in the silver crystals of the emulsion, and reflects back out — producing an image with real visual depth, almost as if it were lit from within.
The photograph is mounted to a rigid dibond backing plate and finished under Lexan or Perspex — a super-transparent, non-shattering, anti-glare acrylic. This acrylic layer is completely colorless and shows the print at its best.
It also blocks 98% of UV light and holds up well against weather, temperature, and humidity changes, which is a large part of what gives these pieces their long archival life. For a more classic, finished look, custom wooden
Roma frames are also available.
Each print is delivered with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, noting the work's title, edition number, and Alexander's original signature — a lasting record of provenance for your collection.
Whichever you choose — an unframed print rolled in a hard tube, an acrylic face-mounted float, or a finished framed piece — you're getting a real, collectible piece of fine art photography, produced to the highest standard available.
