Marvel at photographic prints by Sonic Editions

The label was founded in 2009 by Russell Blackmore, an art enthusiast who was struggling to find photographic art that occupied the space between cheap, generic posters and extortionately priced gallery prints. As the name suggests, it started off with a focus on music photography, before extending its attention to the wider cultural sphere. The results are far from the cliché reproductions we’ve seen so many times before. Created in collaboration withthe world's best photographers and picture archives,all prints are hand-printed in the UK to order - asC-Type prints or Giclees on Fuji Crystal Archive Paper, displayed usingacid-free mounts and handmade solid wooden frames, numbered and certified on the reverse and limited to 495 editions of each print. Their subjects evoke the grit and glamour of bygone eras. There are the classic rakes - an oh-so-cool Jack Nicholson captured standing outside London’s Dorchester Hotel in 1976; Sinatra and co at the Eden Roc in 1964; a shirtless Steve McQueen practicing his aim. Or, there are the places and things that stir up a certain sense of nostalgia - a rusty vintage car on a Los Angeles side street; Café de Flore in the ‘50s; the thrilling neon lights of Vegas.

Lining one’s walls with beautiful, meaningful art is a surefire way to turn any house into a home. And what could be more rakish than classic photography of history's most iconic people, places and moments?
