What a real catalog costs
200 products on a clean background, 50 of them also on a model — a typical new collection.

“Here are 5 walls in my flat and 5 prints I'm thinking of buying … Then hang all 5 together as a gallery wall above the sofa. Keep every print and every room exactly as they are, with the room's light and shadows falling on the frames too.”
