Framing
All of my images can be framed in a variety of ways to suit your tastes and home décor.
My preferred method for displaying my high resolution and richly toned prints is for them to be made as “acrylic glass” prints, which are prints mounted onto a 3mm aluminium dibond back and with a block of acrylic glass, between 2mm and 6mm thick, bonded on top. These can be presented with or without a surrounding frame. Without is for a modern, sleek look, or with a wooden or aluminium frames gives the image more substance.
These solid wood frames can be in white, black oak or brown alder, or in natural oak or maple.
Aluminium frames can be silver, gold or black.
All of my images made as acrylic glass prints can be in any size, on a single panel, up to 500cm wide x 240cm tall.
Traditional framing with an acid-free mount (or matt) board also looks fantastic, but because glass is more fragile, the maximum sizes I limit my prints to with these frames is 150cm width in panoramic (1:3) format, or 100cm in standard (2:3) format. They are available in larger sizes on special order, please email me for more details.

Framing
Framing is very much a matter of personal taste.
Please feel free to contact me to discuss what might work well in your home or office.
If you send me an image of your room, I can superimpose with photoshop your choice of image onto your wall. Seeing it in context can help you decide better your frame choice as well as the size of image.
The default framing style
The default framing styles for any acrylic glass print on this website are either this wooden “Basel” style, or the Hamburg which I have chosen for their minimalist elegance.
All images ordered as framed acrylic glass prints up to 150cm wide will have a frame with a front section 15mm (Basel) or 20mm (Hamburg) wide and 31mm deep, and can be either in white maple, black oak, brown alder, natural oak or natural maple.
Larger sized prints from 150cm width and wider are priced with the same frames and colour options but the front section will be 31mm wide (Basel) or 40mm wide (Hamburg)
