Photography
All photography works, including those taken with both digital and film cameras, are captured and appropriately edited by the photographer Shawn (Instagram: Shawnakaxiaoen) in person. As a photographer based in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, Shawn has had the privilege of capturing the beautiful Nordic landscapes and often records memorable moments during his travels. He does not like over-editing; "real and aesthetic" is his philosophy, which also reflects a minimalist approach to life.
East Asian Artworks
Our digitized ancient Chinese and Japanese artworks are generated using industry-leading high-resolution scanners and multispectral imaging systems. The large-format scanners produced by Creaform and Contex capture every detail of the artworks, ensuring that each piece is precisely replicated in its original form. Afterwards, every scanned artwork undergoes optimization by professional image processing experts using advanced software to recover true colors and rich details.
All the artworks presented in our store have entered the Public Domain (PD), meaning that they are creative works to which no exclusive intellectual property rights apply. Those rights may have expired, been forfeited, expressly waived, or may be inapplicable. As no one holds the exclusive rights, anyone can legally use or reference those works without permission.
