Printing, Framing and Matting details

Unframed print:

Printed on professional Lustre photographic paper. Prints up to 24 × 36 inches include an additional protective coating. Larger prints are produced without the additional coating. Unframed prints ship as loose prints and are sent inside rigid mailers with cardboard inserts, ideal for preserving artwork. It is recommended to keep loose prints inside mailers until they are ready to be framed, for product quality purposes.   

Production and delivery

Allow about one week for unframed print production and another week for shipping, approximately two weeks in total. Standard framed prints take approximately three to four weeks in total.

Listed artwork sizes are print dimensions. A mat and frame increase the finished outside dimensions. For a specific wall space, contact me before ordering.

Standard and custom framing

For easy online ordering, I offer a curated selection of frames chosen to complement the photography: Flat Black, Flat White, Gallery Black, Gallery White, and Ebonized Oak. These are my standard selections, rather than the full range of framing I can provide.

Looking for another finish? Additional mouldings, including wood and metallic finishes such as brass, can be sourced by request. I can work with my framer to explore a presentation that suits the photograph and your space, particularly for commissioned pieces and larger artwork.

Custom framing availability and pricing are confirmed individually before you decide. Ask about custom framing.

Framed Prints:

Prints are matted using white mat board made of 100% cotton, lignin-free and acid-free, designed for the preservation of artwork. For larger print sizes, prints are dry-mounted using a reversible technique to prevent buckling and wrinkles. Any framed print that is 16" x 20" or larger will get dry-mounted. All framed prints come with wired backings, making for easy wall installation.

Premium matte finished wood frames are sized as follows:

1" wide or less for 8x10" and 8x12" prints

1.25"-1.5" wide for 12x18" and 16x20" prints

2-3" wide for 24x36" and 32x40" prints, unless specified otherwise by the customer.

Matting sizes: 

1" matting for 8 x 10" and 8 x 12" prints.

1.5" matting for 12 x 18" and 16 x 20" prints

3" matting for 24 x 36" and 32 x 40" prints.
