Question 1

What Makes Our Fine Art Prints Unique?

Accepted Answer

At Dancing Light Gallery, each fine art print is professionally hand-crafted using the prestigious giclée printing method. This technique employs archival pigment-based inks on acid-free paper to ensure both longevity and unmatched quality.
We print on silky smooth, 200gsm matte heavyweight photo paper that enhances the rich detail and tonal range of our black & white photography. To further elevate the presentation, each print is placed into a tailor-made, hand-crafted solid frame — creating a piece that is both visually stunning and built to last.
Every artwork in our collection is part of the Artist Certified – Collector’s Edition series, authenticated with the official Dancing Light Gallery seal placed discreetly on the back of each framed print. This mark affirms the origin, craftsmanship, and emotional integrity of each piece — a quiet signature of trust, provenance, and belonging.

Question 2

What materials and finishes are used for the frames?

Accepted Answer

At Dancing Light Gallery, we take great pride in the craftsmanship of our frames to complement our exquisite black and white photography. Our box frames are thoughtfully milled from solid ash, ensuring durability and a high-quality finish. Each frame is meticulously hand-stained by our trusted team partner, followed by a specialist wax treatment that beautifully accentuates the natural grain of the wood. The frame boasts a sophisticated box profile, measuring 20mm on the front face and extending 33mm in depth from the wall, providing a sturdy and elegant display for your photo art. We offer our box frames in a variety of versatile colors, including black, white, and natural wood, allowing you to choose the perfect match for your home or office decor.

Question 3

Do you use real glass for framing?

Accepted Answer

All of our prints are crafted using premium quality, durable, and UV-resistant  Perspex glaze (acrylic glass), providing exceptional durability and preventing shattering during shipping or in your home—so you can feel confident when it comes to safety for small children and bare feet. The difference between acrylic glass and regular glass is virtually imperceptible to the naked eye. We take pride in offering custom-made, built-to-last products, allowing you to enjoy your art for decades.

Question 8

What makes your black and white photography unique?

Accepted Answer

Yana Slutskaya—founder, artistic curator, and photographer behind Dancing Light Gallery—creates work rooted in place and memory, not in trend or lifestyle branding. Her coastal, urban, and Americana scenes are authentically captured, emotionally honest, and visually timeless. Each image reflects real life as it is—unpolished, nostalgic, and quietly powerful.
Our collection of fine art prints and wall art offers an authentic experience—one that invites connection, reflection, and a deeper appreciation for the beauty of everyday moments.
