WHY COLLECT PHOTOGRAPHY
WE BELIEVE COLLECTING IS ABOUT PRESENCE, NOT VOLUME.
EACH PHOTOGRAPH WE OFFER HOLDS AUTHORSHIP, CONTEXT, AND INTENTION — NOT JUST AESTHETIC VALUE.

WHAT MAKES PHOTOGRAPHY WORTH COLLECTING?
Photography is not just a medium — it is one of the defining art forms of our time.
Once considered ephemeral, it now holds a permanent place in museums, galleries, and private collections.
To collect photography is to collect a moment of vision — authored, composed, and made permanent.
A photograph captures emotion, memory, and light — and turns them into presence.
It stays long after the world it captured has changed. And becomes part of yours.
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIMITED AND COLLECTOR’S PHOTOGRAPHS?
Limited photographs are produced in small, signed series. Once sold out in a given size and format, they are no longer available.
Collector’s photographs are rarer still — often one-of-a-kind, early, or archived works.
Each piece is certified, documented, and offered with full provenance.
They are not reprinted, and their value grows with time, context, and rarity.

Every piece is selected directly from the archive of Ivailo Stanev and managed exclusively through Monochrome Hub.
Collector’s photographs are not reproduced, not distributed widely, and not found elsewhere.
