Learn how The Story Wall curates limited editions, how purchasing works, and what to expect when you fall in love with a story.

The concept

What is The Story Wall?

The Story Wall is a curated collection of travel photography where every image is paired with its story, map location, and cultural context. Instead of mass-produced prints, we focus on limited editions that honor the feeling of a place and the people connected to it.

Why are the stories geo-tagged?

Context matters. Each story is mapped so you can explore prints by city, coastline, or hidden neighborhood. Geo-tagging also lets you verify the scarcity of an edition and follow along as new destinations are added to the catalogue.

Who creates the artwork?

Founder and photographer Fábio Gonçalves curates the core catalogue and collaborates with trusted photographers whose work aligns with our map-first storytelling approach. Every contributor agrees to the same quality and scarcity standards.

Purchasing & fulfillment

How do I purchase a print?

Choose a story, select the edition tier that matches how you want to display it, and add it to your cart. Checkout is powered by Stripe for secure payment. After purchase you receive an email confirmation with your order summary and the edition number reserved for you.

What happens after I place an order?

We start producing your print using archival-grade materials. Physical editions ship in protective packaging with a story card that lists the title, location, coordinates, and the narrative behind the photograph. Digital licenses are delivered via download with usage terms.

Can I see how many editions are left before buying?

Yes. Each story page shows a live count of remaining editions for every tier. When an edition sells out it is immediately marked as unavailable, so you can make informed decisions before checkout.

Edition tiers & exclusivity

What are the available tiers?

Most stories are offered in a mix of small batch poster prints, framed pieces, and occasionally digital or commercial licenses. Availability varies per story, and every tier has a clearly stated edition size so you know how scarce it is.

What does “1/1 exclusive” mean?

A 1/1 exclusive is a single-owner edition. When you purchase it, you become the only person who can display or license that image going forward. Previous limited editions that were already sold remain honored, but we will not release new copies after the exclusive is claimed.

What happens when a tier sells out?

Once all numbered editions of a tier are purchased, it is permanently marked as sold out. You can still read the story for inspiration, but no new prints are produced unless the artist introduces a completely new interpretation of that location.
