Framed Photography
Definition: Framed photography refers to fine art photographic prints that have been professionally mounted and encased within a physical frame, typically for the purposes of display, conservation, and presentation in sales or exhibitions.
Frames vary in style, material, and finish — from minimalist aluminum or hardwood to archival shadow boxes. Museum-quality framing uses acid-free mats, UV-protective glazing, and archival backing to preserve the image over time.
Collectors often seek framed photography for ease of installation and visual completeness. Dealers may offer the option of framed or unframed prints, depending on shipping needs, budget, or client preferences.
