this is my story

Nice to meet you. 

My name is Justus Rehn and Aerial Photography has become my passion. For me, it's more than just taking photos. It's about the craft, the craft of capturing something unique, a moment within many among nature’s magnificence. The craft of taking that moment and sharing it. Sharing it, not only, in a way that can be enjoyed forever but in way that does it justice. This is why I recommend the type of paper and why I recommend the style of frame. This is why of all the shots taken, only the best make it through. At PINES & PALM TREES the artistic process begins with moment captured and only ends when it takes pride of place with you.

bespoke beauty

We are artists, we believe in beauty and the highest quality of craftsmanship. Every product at PINES & PALM TREES is made to order and therefore is unique. You will be receiving a special piece that can be hung with pride knowing that you won't see the same thing in your friend's or neighbor's house next time you visit. Like all great things the process takes time, so please allow 10-12 working days for us to dispatch your order. Trust us it’s worth the wait.

We believe in simplicity and craftsmanship.

All artworks are printed in a single, curated size of 70 × 100 cm (or 100 × 70 cm, depending on the orientation). Each motif is carefully optimized for its specific orientation, ensuring the composition and visual balance are exactly as intended by the artist.

You can choose from the following framing options: Passepartout Frames and Shadow Gap Frames:

Passepartout Frames

Passepartout Frames feature prints on Hahnemühle PhotoRag® Fine Art Paper, renowned for its rich texture, depth, and archival quality. Within this category, you can choose between two distinct styles — Classic and Slim.

Classic (wood, white)

A timeless fine art presentation featuring a hand-cut passepartout (mat board) and museum-grade glass for exceptional UV protection and clarity. Crafted from premium materials, it delivers a true gallery-standard finish

Slim (aluminium, jet black)

A refined, minimalist alternative with a slim profile, also featuring a passepartout and museum glass. Its clean lines lend the artwork a contemporary and elegant appearance.

Shadow Gap Frames

This option (also known as “float frames”) transforms the artwork into an acrylic fine art piece.

The print is mounted on Alu-Dibond, sealed with a matte acrylic finish, and presented without glass, creating a subtle floating effect within the frame.

Shadow Gap Frames are available in wood, finished in covering white or black.

Classic PASSEPARTOUT FRAME

Our Classic Frame represents timeless design and craftsmanship. Its clean, balanced aesthetic makes it the most popular choice among collectors and interior enthusiasts alike — a piece that harmonizes effortlessly with any space.

Each frame measures 100 × 70 cm and is made to order by local framing experts using premium materials, entirely crafted in Germany. The result is a product that not only looks refined but also stands the test of time.

The artwork itself is printed on Hahnemühle PhotoRag® 308 gsm Fine Art Paper, a matte, softly textured paper that gives each photograph exceptional depth and tonal richness.

To preserve the integrity of the artwork, every piece is mounted behind a museum-grade, hand-cut passepartout (approx. 2 mm thick, white). The passepartout plays an essential role — it creates visual depth, adds a refined border that draws the viewer’s eye to the image, and ensures that the print does not touch the glass, protecting it from condensation, abrasion, or ink degradation over time.

The print is protected by museum-quality glass offering 70% UV protection. This premium glass reduces glare and prevents unwanted reflections, allowing the true tones and fine details of the photograph to remain visible under any lighting condition. While many standard frames use conventional glazing, we consider museum glass a non-negotiable standard — essential for both aesthetic presentation and the long-term preservation of each piece.

Each artwork is available in both portrait and landscape orientation, with the motif carefully optimized for its specific layout, ensuring that the visual balance and composition are true to the artist’s original intent.

slim PASSEPARTOUT FRAME

2025_product_slim_V2.png__PID:a77a13f2-1926-4c6c-8e7d-30f6a3e06464

Our Slim Frame offers a contemporary interpretation of fine art presentation — minimalist, elegant, and distinctly modern. With its sleek jet-black aluminium profile, it delivers a striking contrast to the bright white passepartout and the artwork itself, creating a refined visual balance suitable for both residential and gallery spaces.

Each frame measures 100 × 70 cm and is made to order by local artisans using high-quality materials, crafted entirely in Germany. The result is a frame that combines precision, durability, and timeless aesthetics.The photograph is printed on Hahnemühle PhotoRag® 308 gsm Fine Art Paper, a soft matte paper that enhances tonal depth and detail with a velvety surface structure.

Every Slim Frame features a hand-cut museum-grade passepartout (approx. 2 mm thick, white) and museum glass with 70% UV protection. The passepartout creates a delicate sense of depth and separation, ensuring the artwork remains perfectly preserved without touching the glass — protecting the print from moisture, ink degradation, and optical distortion over time.

The museum glass used in every frame is a defining feature of our craftsmanship. Unlike standard glazing, it offers minimal reflection and true color fidelity, allowing the artwork to be experienced exactly as intended. For us, this quality is non-negotiable — it’s the foundation of presenting photographic art at its highest level.

Each Slim Frame is available in both portrait and landscape orientation, with every motif individually optimized for its composition and visual flow.

shadow gap FRAME

2025_product_shadowgap_V2.png__PID:dffac8af-8e76-418b-969f-c7f9b8090464

Our Shadow Gap Frame offers a contemporary, gallery-style presentation that gives each artwork a striking sense of depth and presence. Designed without glass, this configuration turns the piece itself into a finished acrylic art object — clean, modern, and built to last.

Each print is mounted on Alu-Dibond, a rigid composite surface that provides perfect flatness and stability. The image is then sealed with a matte acrylic layer, enhancing contrast and color depth while eliminating reflections. This process not only protects the surface from UV exposure and humidity but also creates a subtle tactile quality that invites close viewing.

Unlike traditional frames, the Shadow Gap (also known as a floating frame) creates a delicate visual separation between the artwork and the outer wooden frame, giving the illusion that the image is suspended within its border. This floating effect draws the viewer’s focus entirely to the motif itself.

Available exclusively in wood, each Shadow Gap Frame is finished in either covering-white or black, and made to order locally by our framing specialists using premium materials manufactured in Germany.

While many acrylic wall pieces use glossy coatings or standard laminations, our matte finish ensures a glare-free, museum-grade appearance — sophisticated, understated, and true to the artist’s intent.

Each artwork measures 100 × 70 cm (or 70 × 100 cm, depending on the orientation) and is orientation-optimized to maintain perfect composition and balance.
