These would work best in an office cubicle or on a desk. The images are also a bit small but obviously you don’t want to slap a huge slab of glass up on your wall. The best bet is a nice, close headshot with a uniform background as the glass really brings out detail in the shots. There was a very light blending in some of the photo features but the surface is so clear that thin lines and imperfections really stand out. The resulting photos are bright and glossy. The largest size they sell is the $25 11×14. The demos cam in multiple sizes, from the $8 8- by 5-inch to the $12 8×10. I sent a few images to Fracture and they sent a few demo shots and one of my personal shots back. The images are printed on the back side of a 2mm sheet of glass and will not fade for at least three years in direct sunlight and Fracture believes they’ll last for at least a decade with careful handling.

Printing on glass is as old as photography itself but Fracture’s methods are bit different than Ansel Adams negatives. It comes with everything you need to hang or display the photo and it looks pretty great.

Fracture, a two-year-old start-up founded by two friends, offers a fairly simple service – you send them a photo and you get back that photo printed on a pane of shatter-proof glass. That’s where Fracture comes in.įracture is one of the most interesting and novel ways of creating a beautiful and lasting piece of photographic art I’ve seen in a long while. There are a number of these photos that I’d like to print out and save forever and there are a few I’d love to hang on my wall for posterity. Most of them were taken for the restraining order hearing, but the rest are of my children, wife, and various permutations thereof.
