Aluminum Photography 17x25cm – Isolated in the Andes

Artistic aluminum photography from the “Aislados en los Andes” collection. These photographs are taken and interpreted by photographer Poncho Montesserin in Peru. This is a series of spontaneous portraits of people in their daily lives, playing with their image surrounded by a white background that reflects how isolated they live at more than 3000 meters above sea level, high in the Andes.

The photographs are printed directly on a dibond plate, a material for printing high-quality photographs. It is preferred by interior designers due to its durability, print quality and elegant design.
​
It is made up of a sheet of two layers of aluminum, each 0.3 mm thick, which surround a 2.4 mm polyethylene sheet. One of the aluminum sheets serves as a base to place the wooden frame with which to hang the photograph, on the other sheet the direct printing will be made. Polyethylene provides thickness as well as lightness.
​
Direct printing is done on a white lacquered aluminum plate. That white is the base on which the different colors of the image are printed. This technique creates a relief on the print that fills the photograph with nuances and textures.

The photograph measures 16.7x25cm and is 2cm deep. The dibond is 3mm thick and the frame is 2cm.
