WE CAN OFFER CUSTOMERS CUSTOM SIZES AND HAVE AFTERPAY

This is our traditional framing option where the photo is mounted with a white mat, the photo is then hand titled and signed by Matt on the 2cm mat board that is around the photo. It is then finished with your choice of frame. We choose to use Japanese optical grade acrylic in all of our frames to ensure clarity and safety while in your home and also cuts down on the weight as well.

Our Shadow Box framing option is a premium framing style where the photo is printed with a very wide border between 7 – 10cm plus cm all around the image (depending on photo size) and then recessed mounted 3cm away from the front of the frame, giving it depth. We use optical grade acrylic in this frame to ensure safety. The photo is hand titled and signed by Matt. This framing type is offered for photos 75cm or wider. For photos framed under 75cm wide we offer our standard framing option. See above.

All photos are printed on professional Chromajet Metallic Professional photo paper in our own lab. They come with a white border around the image (2 – 3 cm in width, subject to photo size) the photo is then personally titled and signed by Matt. These photos are ideal for standard traditional framing with a Matt and Frame.
All “Photo only” orders are posted at a flat rate of $15 for Australia and $35 Overseas.

Our framed canvas is our same high-quality stretched canvas product with the addition of a floating frame around the canvas. The frame has the same depth as the canvas and the frame is 1cm wide and complements the canvas perfectly.

Printed on metallic paper and then face-mounted to a 4.5mm sheet of Japanese optical grade acrylic that is diamond polished on the edge. The depth of the acrylic gives the final product an amazing final finish. All acrylics come ready to hang.

Standard Framed Photos

We offer three types of popular and modern frames. Tasmanian Oak, White and Black. The Tasmanian Oak frame is a 100% natural RAW timber and complements our work beautifully. Our most popular framing options are the Oak and White. All our framed photos are hand crafted and professionally done. All photos are roll mounted to ensure they are perfectly flat and form a lifelong adhesion to the ridged archival board we use. We offer this framing method for photos that are under 75cm wide. For photos larger than this we offer Shadow Box Framing. See below.

Photo Only

Our choice of paper is the Chromajet Metallic Professional paper. The metallic sheen to the paper complements the crazy colours in our sunrise and sunsets, and the greens and blues in our aerials perfectly. All the photos are printed in our own photo lab where they are hand titled and signed by Matt which adds a personal touch to the final photo. The photos are then inspected and rolled in an acid-free tissue paper and shipped in a secure cardboard tube with framing and care instructions.

The photos have a white border around the image (2 – 3 cm in width, subject to photo size) the photo is then personally titled and signed by Matt. All “Photo only” orders are posted Australia-wide for $15. Overseas orders are posted via Airmail for $35.

Framed Canvas - Floating Frame

Our canvas is printed on a 100% Cotton canvas, coated and stretched. We print on high-quality canvas using genuine UV archival inks to ensure your chosen photo is printed and looks its best. The canvas is then stretched nice and tight on a thick renewable Australian timber bar and then framed in your choice of Tasmanian Oak, White or Black frame. The frame has the same depth as the canvas and the canvas sits inside the frame with a gap all around the canvas, complementing it perfectly.

Stretched Canvas & Canvas Only

Our canvas is printed on a 100% Cotton canvas, coated and stretched in our own professional lab. We print on high quality canvas using genuine UV archival inks to ensure your chosen photo is printed and looks it’s best. We then coat the canvas to protect it from UV and everyday life on your wall. The canvas is then stretched nice and tight on a thick renewable Australian timber bar. It is then finished off with a secure hanging system. Stretched Canvas comes ready to hang.

All of our photos are capable of being printed very large and maintain amazing detail. The bigger you print it, the better it looks.

For canvas only orders the only difference is the canvas isn’t stretched and it is rolled and posted to you in a secure card board tube with care and stretching instructions.

Acrylic Face mount / Glass Prints

All of our acrylic facemount products are completed in our own professional lab. The 4.5mm thick acrylic we use is optical grade, UV protected, and to ensure a professional finished job all of our acrylic is computer cut with the edge of the acrylic diamond polished and buffed clear. The image is then printed on our beautiful metallic paper and then it undergoes a special mounting process where we apply a special adhesive to the photo and then mounts the image side of the photo to the acrylic panel. The final result is very impressive, the mixture of the metallic paper with the depth of the 4.5mm acrylic will really make the photo “Pop”.

The acrylic is then finished with a white backing sheet applied to protect the back of the photo and also provide a secure strong surface for us to secure the hanging system. All acrylic face mount orders are supplied “Ready to Hang”.

All of our photos are capable of being printed very large and maintain amazing detail. The bigger you print it, the better it looks.

Photo Printed and Mounted

All photos are printed on professional kodak paper in our own photo lab, your photo is roll mounted which is best for any kind of photo display to ensure it sits perfectly flat. We use an archival matt that is acid free. The photo is then hand titled on the left and signed by Matt on the right.

We recommend that mounted photos sizes 24 inches and larger get framed. Mounting photos correctly is the most difficult process for any framer not set up for professional photo mounting. This option takes that process away from them and ensures your purchased photo has been mounted correctly.

Digital Image Use

All the images on this website are copyrighted. Licensing an image off us is based on approval of the project it is being used for. Online payment for an image does not entitle you to the image unless your project has been approved by us. If this happens you will be refunded in full.

All our images are high resolution. Our images are not available to customers who want to purchase the print file so they can download it themselves and then find somewhere to get it printed. How ever we will supply the photo file to your selected printer for printing. Licensing price on this will be subject to the size your printing.

An example of use: We had a UK couple who wanted a large acrylic face mount done of a panoramic image and the shipping from Australia to the UK was crazy expensive. So we supplied the digital file to their selected local print lab who printed it on acrylic to the size they wanted and they picked it up locally. The price of the image was subject to the size they wanted to print.

We offer all our customers a free digital mock up service where you can send us a photo of your wall where you want one of our selected art works and we will send you back a true and accurate reproduction on that image on your wall in the frame or style of our choice.

How I got started on this journey

Pretty sure it was early 2001 when a mate at the time hired a Fuji GX617 and I tagged along with him to a trip in the Blue Mountains’, funny enough while he shot I slept in the car, that was the level of my interest in photography at the time.

A few days after I got to see the slide film shots he took and just the size of the images was really impressive, from there my interest grew and grew. Until one day I just went the whole hog and got a $7000 loan, bought the Fuji G617 a tripod and a light meter and a few boxes of film and haven’t looked back since.

How to take the photo and send it to us

Using your smart phone take a photo of the location where you want the image to be. It is best to not
just take a photo of the wall, include your bed, TV , lounge to give you a great idea of what it will look
like in that space. Then email that photo to us from your phone to [email protected] or send it to us via Facebook.

With your email, we will need to know the approximate width of the wall space. If you dont have a measure
just guess or say the bed is a king or queen size bed or the TV is a 60 inch plasma. Gives us a
point of reference. We also need to know the image code of the shot you like and how you would like to see it
ie Tassy Oak Frame, or as an Acrylic Facemount or Canvas.

Then send that email and we will get back to you. It’s that easy.
