Professional custom framing elevates your photography to a higher level of refinement. A beautiful wooden frame adds sophistication, warmth, and presence to your space, whether it blends seamlessly with your interior décor or stands out as a statement piece.
Fine art landscape and nature photography is an incredibly dynamic medium, and framing your limited edition print with a rich, museum-quality wooden frame enhances its depth, meaning, and permanence.

If the thought of choosing a frame feels intimidating, don’t worry. I provide professional guidance for every framed artwork in my collection, removing the inconvenience and expense of finding a third-party framer.
Framing is one of the best ways to personalize your print and enhance its value and visual impact.
These prints are my most highly recommended for framing. I offer a full range of external frames for these prints, deleting the standard recessed floating frame and incorporating a custom frame with a secure D-ring hanging system.
This spectacular abstract print is a 'Charity Edition' Lumachrome® TruLife® acrylic, framed with a luxurious Roma® Tabacchino Dark Ash Italian wood frame combined with a black linen liner.
These framed works are called Charity Editions because a portion of the proceeds from each sale is donated to CPAWS, supporting the protection of public lands, oceans, and wildlife.
ChromaLuxe® HD Metal Prints
These prints are designed to be frameless only. I do not provide external framing for metal prints, but it is possible to order them without the hidden floating frame if you intend to frame them yourself.
Fujicolor® Pearl Paper Prints
Paper prints are shipped rolled in a tube. Framing is not a service I provide for paper prints, and customers must use their own local framing shop. Paper prints are ideal for smaller sizes (up to 45” on the long side), and for larger artwork, acrylic or metal prints may be a better choice. Overseas customers often benefit from paper prints, as they can be rolled for more cost-effective shipping.
Can You Frame A ChromaLuxe® HD Print Yourself?
Yes, it is possible, but these prints are designed to be frameless. A recessed floating frame on the back creates the illusion of the artwork “floating” on your wall.
If you want to add an external frame, contact me at the time of ordering so I can remove the rear floating frame and adjust the signature/edition placement. Placing glass over metal prints is not recommended, as it adds glare without benefit.
For a fully framed piece without these complications, I recommend a Charity Edition framed Lumachrome® TruLife® acrylic print, with access to the complete Roma® and Omega® catalogs. This saves time, money, and reduces the risk of damage during third-party framing.
Store-bought Versus Custom Framing
Standard frames from craft or box stores are inexpensive but often made from non-archival materials that can yellow or damage your artwork over time. Included glass can cause glare, and UV protection is typically minimal.

Gallery-Quality Custom Framing
Custom frames for Lumachrome® TruLife® acrylic prints provide unmatched durability and elegance:
No glass required, as TruLife® acrylic is scratch-resistant, UV-protected, and anti-reflective
Optional linen liners add depth and beauty
Archival backing protects the print from dust and contaminants
The components of a Charity Edition Framed Lumachrome® TruLife® acrylic print. Above are 2-1/2" wide 'Scoop' style linen liners in white or black. Three-inch wide liners which are flat with a beveled edge are also available. Above is an illustration to explain how a frame is measured. The total width of this particular frame is 4 inches, and the height is 2 inches (which can be thought of as the 'depth', or how far it protrudes from your wall). The rabbet is the space under which the linen liner or print is tucked and attached. On this frame it is 5/8 inches.
Frames can be customized to your preference, including style, liner width, and finish. The options are virtually limitless, but I can guide you to the most elegant selections.
