Produced in Athens with Sdralis Fine Art Printing. Supervised by George Tatakis, an internationally exhibited black-and-white photographer whose own museum exhibitions are produced through this workflow.

What is exhibition print production?
Exhibition print production is the process of preparing photographic artworks for public or professional presentation, including file preparation, paper selection, fine-art printing, framing, packing and installation readiness.
Fine-Art Print Production for Exhibitions, Institutions and Professional Art Projects
A photographic exhibition does not end with the image file. The final work depends on paper, scale, tone, framing, protection, packing and the way each piece will exist inside the space.
This service provides supervised fine-art photographic production for professional projects across Europe. It includes file review, paper and presentation advice, fine-art printing, black-and-white tonal supervision, framing coordination, packing and shipping preparation.
The aim is to deliver exhibition-ready photographic works with the care expected by museums, galleries, cultural institutions, art consultants, architects and professional curators.

Supervised by an Exhibiting Artist, Not Only a Production Desk
Fine-art print production is not only a technical service. It is a sequence of visual decisions.
Paper changes the feeling of the image. Scale changes its presence. Framing changes the way the work sits in the space. Black-and-white printing requires careful judgement of deep blacks, highlights, midtones and tonal consistency across the full body of work.
George Tatakis supervises the process as an artist who has produced his own exhibitions for museums, cultural institutions and public spaces. This means that production decisions are made with the final exhibition in mind, not only with the file on screen.
The result is a more controlled path from digital file to physical artwork.
Produced with Sdralis Fine Art Printing in Athens
The works are produced in Athens in collaboration with Sdralis Fine Art Printing, the specialist lab used by George Tatakis for the production of his own exhibition prints.
This collaboration combines two things: the production skill of a dedicated fine-art printing and framing lab, and the supervision of an artist with direct experience in museum and institutional presentation.
For European clients, Athens offers a strong production base. The service is designed to remain commercially competitive with major European production centres, even after packing and shipping, while offering a highly personal level of supervision.
The aim is not to provide the cheapest print. The aim is to provide an exhibition-ready result with professional judgement, careful production and clear communication from beginning to end.
The printing process
Fine-art photographic printing is where the image becomes an object.
The choice of paper, surface, size, border, tonal range and contrast affects how the work will be read in the exhibition space. This is especially important for black-and-white photography, where small differences in blacks, greys and highlights can change the entire character of the print.
For each project, the production approach can include file review, paper recommendation, test prints, tonal adjustments, edition consistency and final print approval.

Museum-Quality Framing and Presentation
Framing is not an afterthought. It is part of the final presentation of the artwork.
The frame, mount, glazing, depth, border and finishing method affect how the photograph sits on the wall, how it relates to the space and how it will be handled, transported and installed.
For exhibitions, galleries and institutional projects, framing must be consistent, protective and appropriate to the work. The goal is not decoration, but presentation.
What is considered during framing
-
Frame profile
-
Mounting method
-
Passe-partout or no passe-partout
-
Float presentation where appropriate
-
Glazing and protection
-
Frame depth

Consistency across the exhibition
A Complete Production Workflow
The service is designed to reduce risk for professional buyers. Each project is reviewed as a complete production path, from the initial brief to the final packed artworks.
The client sends the number of works, preferred dimensions, destination country, deadline, venue type and any existing presentation requirements.
The image files are reviewed for resolution, aspect ratio, tonal range, print size feasibility and any technical risks before production begins.
A production direction is proposed, including paper, surface, borders, framing method, glazing and general presentation.
When necessary, small test prints, detail strips or full-size proofs are produced before the final print run.
The approved works are printed with attention to consistency across the full body of work.
The works are framed, finished and checked as final physical objects, not only as separate prints.
The works are packed for professional handling and European shipment.
The final works are prepared for delivery to the venue, gallery, institution, hotel or project location.
Produced in Athens. Delivered Across Europe.
The service is based in Athens and intended for professional projects across Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, the Netherlands, Austria, Spain, Cyprus and Greece.
For larger projects, production in Athens can remain commercially competitive with local production in major European cities, even after professional packing and shipping.
This is especially relevant for museums, galleries, festivals, artists and hospitality projects that require multiple works, consistent presentation and careful supervision.
Quotes are prepared project by project, depending on the number of works, size, paper, framing method, packing requirements, destination and deadline.
Project-Based Pricing
Pricing is prepared after reviewing the brief.
The final quote depends on the number of works, dimensions, paper, printing method, framing specification, glazing, packing, shipping destination and timeline.
The service is intended for professional and institutional projects, not casual one-off private printing. Suitable projects usually involve multiple works, an exhibition deadline, a gallery or institutional presentation, a hospitality placement or a professional art programme.
The aim is to offer a high level of supervision and presentation while remaining competitive with established European production options.
Send Your Exhibition or Institutional Brief
If you are preparing a museum exhibition, gallery show, photography competition, festival presentation, hospitality art project or institutional photographic display, you may send the project details for review.
Please include the number of works, approximate sizes, destination country, deadline, framing needs and any available production brief.
George Tatakis will review the project and respond with the next step.
Private one-off photo printing and consumer framing requests are not accepted through this page.
