How to frame your print

Our prints ship unframed in a protective tube on premium 240gsm lustre photo paper — satin finish, archival pigment inks. We recommend a 2.5cm white archival mat, acid-free backing, and UV-filtering glazing.

Your local framer can replicate the look in the wall preview above. Typical frame and matting cost is A$120–A$200 depending on size.

Had the drone up over Bondi as the sun started to dip, just enjoying the show of long shadows people were casting across the sand. Always a good time to be out when the light does that, stretching everything out, creating these almost cartoonish figures. Was lucky enough to catch this surfer walking right along the waterline, their shadow just stretching out for miles, almost like another person, as the waves rolled in. Sometimes the best shots just present themselves, don't they?
