Framing
With more than twenty years of experience working with clients, I have developed a strong understanding of the framing process and the important role it plays in presenting fine art photography. I now provide framing exclusively as an offline, bespoke service, allowing for a more personalised approach.
The Process
All fine art prints (cotton rag and canvas) are purchased unframed through the online store. Once your print order has been placed, please contact me directly if you would like your artwork framed.
Each framed piece is custom finished, professionally assembled, and shipped ready to hang. Framing costs are quoted separately, depending on the materials and specifications chosen.
Materials and Recommendations
When framing my own work, I use and recommend AR70 glass — a premium, non-reflective glazing renowned for its exceptional clarity and UV protection.
Beyond glazing, I work with a curated selection of frame mouldings, archival mat-boards, and mounting techniques, all chosen for their quality and longevity.
Further information about this personalised service can be found in the Consultation tab.
Print Sizes:
The sizes listed in the selection panel refer to the actual image size — the dimensions of the photographic image itself.
Additional borders:
-
All fine art prints include an additional 5cm white border around all sides. This border provides space for matting and framing, and is where the print is signed and numbered.
-
Canvas prints also include an additional 7cm border on all sides to allow for stretching. The border colour can be customised to suit the image and your preference.

Print size (with border): 90 x 70 cm

Art Consultation
With over 20 years of experience creating photographic artworks, I offer personalised guidance to help you choose the right print, size, material, and framing for your space. Every client’s needs are unique, and my goal is to make the process straightforward and enjoyable.
Virtual Mock-Up
Not sure how a print will look on your wall? I can create a virtual mock-up for you. Simply send clear photos of your space along with the artwork(s) you are considering, and I’ll provide a visual representation and some initial suggestions.
Bespoke Solutions
Many of my images can be printed at large sizes to create a striking “wow” factor. Options include:
If you have a special idea or a custom solution in mind, I’m happy to provide guidance and make suggestions to ensure your artwork perfectly suits your space.
I work closely with clients across New Zealand and around the world to create the perfect solution for their space.
Every limited edition artwork is crafted with the finest materials and care, resulting in a stunning piece built to endure for generations.
Unframed Prints
Shipping is included in the purchase price of all unframed fine art prints (cotton rag and canvas).
After final inspection, your artwork is carefully rolled in protective materials and secured within a sturdy tube. It is then dispatched via tracked, signed, and fully insured courier.
This is a convenient way to receive your print and have it framed locally at a time that suits you. Recommended care and framing instructions are included for your framer.
I want you to have complete confidence that your artwork will arrive in perfect condition. In the very unlikely event of damage during transit, I will arrange collection and issue a replacement print at no additional cost.
International clients, please note that any import duties or local taxes are the responsibility of the purchaser.
Framed Prints
Framed prints are available for New Zealand clients as an offline, bespoke service, allowing you to receive your completed artwork ready to hang and enjoy.
Shipping costs for framed artworks are quoted separately along with the framing, depending on the materials and specifications chosen. Each framed piece is packaged using specialised protective materials and shipped with reliable, fully insured couriers to ensure safe delivery.
For international clients, I recommend purchasing unframed prints and arranging local framing to avoid potential shipping risks and costs. If you would like to explore framed international delivery, please contact me to discuss options and pricing.
