Mattia Fiumani - Paris Metro

Paris Metro is a numbered digital fine art print produced from an original 35mm film negative. The photograph was taken in Paris and captures a quiet, cinematic moment inside the metro, combining urban observation, fashion-inspired composition, and documentary sensitivity.

The image is printed in black and white on Alga Carta, the renowned ecological paper developed by the historic Venetian paper mill FAVINI. This distinctive paper choice gives the print a refined natural surface while reinforcing the work’s connection to material quality and sustainable production. The print preserves the natural grain, contrast, and tonal character of the original analogue negative.
