It’s Been a Year

A boat aligning with the rocks becomes a quiet clock. A fleeting moment that reminds us how fast a year can pass, and how time never pauses, only moves.

This print from the First Edition collection includes the artist’s original narrative, discreetly printed beneath the image. Placing you not only in the scene, but inside the story behind it. As part of the artist’s debut series, these are the very first collector pieces ever released.

This print is made to last, produced with museum-quality C-Type printing, a true photographic process using chromogenic materials. The print is created on light-sensitive silver halide paper with the image exposed using a laser, then developed through traditional chemical baths. Colors, formed at the molecular level, give continuous tone, natural gradients, and a rich photographic depth.

Printed on Fuji Gloss 246 g/m² from the Fuji Crystal Archive range, this paper has a bright white base with a smooth surface and a medium gloss finish. It enhances contrast, deepens blacks, and adds vibrancy to colors, giving images a punchy, rich feel while maintaining tonal accuracy and fine detail.

Our frames are handmade from high-quality wood and crafted to the highest standards. Each frame features a premium glass window that protects the artwork.

Designed for ease, they include turning clips on the back so you can easily mount your print yourself. All frames can be hung vertically or horizontally, and your order arrives ready to hang.

A high-quality, acid-free passepartout surrounds the artwork inside the frame. This not only preserves the print but also adds an elegant visual space that draws the eye to the piece.

The Atlantic Coast

Photographing the southern coast of French Brittany, near Le Pouliguen, is a study in contrasts — soft summer light meets jagged cliffs, still harbors frame boats shaped by wind and time. The tide reveals sea caves, textured rocks, and salt marshes that change by the hour. It’s a raw, poetic place that invites stillness and sharpens the eye.

Narrative On Print

There is always that one place you return to, only to realize you stood there exactly a year ago. This is not just a boat sailing the ocean. It is a clock, and the boat, aligning with the rocks, is the needle striking the hour. It marks time. A quiet cue to reflect on the past year. And what a year, right? The wind just keeps pushing. Time keeps moving. No pause. No stillness. Just motion. Soon, the boat drifts away. And yes, it’s been a year.

Meet the Artist

Florian Laroye is a photographer drawn to the essence of a moment. Rather than chasing the spectacular, he focuses on color, form, and composition to capture emotion, often with a sense of quiet romanticism. He calls it the Art of Noticing.

“Did you know I own the world’s best camera? The iPhone ☻
Always in my pocket. Always just 2 seconds away from the next capture.
I let my curiosity notice colors, shapes, compositions, romanticism and boooom, it’s captured.”
