Absolute similarity with the original is not the main advantage of photoprints. Things in which photo-motifs are used are reminiscent of windows to other worlds. They want to peer, discovering every day new interesting details

Thirty years ago, when there was no trace of digital cameras, and the photographic arts attached to the sacraments evoked a holy awe, photo prints survived their first youth. Suffice it to recall the fashion on photo wallpaper with Altai landscapes and men's nylon shirts with packings in the form of galloping horses, distant beaches and misty distances.

In fact, photographic patterns are modern trompe-l’oiel. Both are trying to create the illusion of reality. Only the reality of the XVIII century consisted of letters written by feathers, fragments of silk ribbons and other lovely knick-knacks - favorite scenes of fraud pictures, and in the XX century the master of light painting hurried to capture another reality, in which there was a place for Marilyn and for the lights of megacities, and exotics of all stripes.

Photographic motifs give the interior unusual and light non-conformism, the gigantic face of an ancient statue on the wall or a screen that contains the whole exposition of modern photography will take a worthy place among the home artifacts. And thanks to the availability of digital printing "fifteen minutes of fame", promised to all of us by Andy Warhol, are guaranteed to anyone who decides to print in a wallpaper format a photo from a holiday in the Maldives.
