Étretat, Normandy. France, 1967

The author:
Pierre Toutain-Dorbec is a Franco-American multimedia artist, social documentary photographer, and publisher. He has been described as "an artist whose work emphasizes a humanist perspective." His extensive work in Morocco, where he lives in the 70', has left an indelible mark on the world of Moroccan photography. His images of the North African nation capture its vibrant culture, people, and landscapes in a way that is both evocative and deeply empathetic.

The print:
Piezography is an inkjet printing through an all-carbon process. This groundbreaking process uses seven shades of gray and black ink to render the best possible grayscale images that can be printed with a modern printer. Because Piezography uses pure carbon instead of pigment, print lifetime is limited only by the durability of the paper, and should be able to last generations without observable fading.
