Fatali's Gallery & Framing ?

I stopped by Fatali's gallery when I was in Zion this week.

I really liked how he had the images framed. The gallery operator claimed his prints were completely sealed in glass. Anyone ever heard of this method before?

Thanks

I visited his gallery last fall and he was there so I asked him about this. He told me the prints were mounted to the glass, not sealed in it. He also said it helps the print last longer, siting the example that the prints he uses outside of his gallery have not faded in a year while being exposed to the elements. And to finally answer your question I never heard of it before until I saw it at his gallery, but I'm sure some of the other photogs here have.

I was at his gallery opening in Sedona a few years ago and what he does is called face mounting to plexiglass. If you google this term you will find labs that can do this. You need to start with a glossy surface paper.

Thanks for the info!
