John MacLean Photography offers a high-quality mounting and framing service for all kinds of artwork, photographic prints, works on canvas, etc. I don’t sell mass-produced or imported frames: all my frames are cut and assembled in my workshop. I make gallery-standard frames and can supply quantities of quality frames for exhibition use.

So many beautiful prints and artworks end up tucked away in drawers, stored in dusty portfolios, or even worse, displayed in ill-fitting, mass-produced frames. Good photographs and artworks deserve better. They deserve framing that enhances their beauty and allows them to shine. That’s where my custom framing service comes in. I approach each customer’s framing project with the same level of care and attention to detail that I would give to framing my own work.
 

When you choose my custom framing service, you’re not just getting a frame; you’re getting a personalized consultation, discussing various options to present the work to its best advantage. There are crucial points that help me determine the best style of frame, mounting and glazing to complement your image perfectly. I want to ensure that the final product is something you’ll be pleased to display for years to come.
 

Glass selection is another key component of my custom framing process. I offer different types of glass, from standard clear picture glass to UV-blocking and museum-grade acrylic options. UV-blocking glass is particularly important for preserving the longevity of your prints, especially those that are displayed in areas with direct sunlight. I can guide you through the benefits of each option and help you choose the glass that is best suited to your needs and the environment in which your photograph will be displayed.
 

My custom framing service isn’t just for photographs either. I’m happy to frame any artwork that’s special to you, whether it’s a family heirloom, a vintage print, or an artwork you’ve created yourself. I believe that all meaningful images deserve to be preserved and displayed beautifully, and I’m passionate about helping you do just that. The process is simple: bring what you want framed to my studio, and I’ll discuss with you through the options for framing it and ensure that you’re completely satisfied before proceeding with the final framing.
