FRAMING PHOTOS

Our approach is to keep things simple.

When it comes to framing photography, clean lines work best, so we recommend:

  • White and off-white mats.

  • 8 ply bevels to add an elegant touch especially with a narrow frame.

  • A narrow frame needs to be deep enough for a wood strainer support.

  • Plexiglass over glass – except for Tru-Vue Museum glass to protect against UV light and reduce glare. And of course, Optium Museum Acrylic, the gold standard in custom framing.

When a photograph is framed properly, the frame will not only complement the image but will also preserve it for decades to come.
