Q: Why collect photographs by Gavin Evans?
The Gavin Evans archive spans forty years of portrait commissions — musicians, filmmakers, artists, and cultural figures photographed for publications including Time Out, The New York Times, Esquire, and Elle. Every print is made from the original master file, embossed, and traceable to its moment of capture. Every image is camera-originated; no generative AI is used in any work. These are real photographs of real people, not copies or reproductions.
Q: Certifiably genuine?
Every print sold through ThePrintRoom.Berlin is made directly from the original master file by Gavin Evans and embossed with his studio stamp as proof of authenticity. The original scans, RAW files, and full metadata are retained in the archive, so each image can be traced to its source. If you have concerns about the authenticity of a print purchased elsewhere, contact us directly.
Q: What is an open edition, and how does it differ from a limited edition?
An open edition has no set limit on the number of prints made from the original file, making it accessible at a lower price than a limited edition, which is produced in a fixed, numbered run. Both are made from the original master file, printed on 308 gsm satin matte cotton rag — acid and lignin-free — and embossed with the photographer's stamp. The difference is the run size and the price, not the quality.
