It is widely accepted as the finest way to frame photography, giving visual priority to the image and yet fitting stylishly into most interiors. Other options are of course available.

Artwork In Detail

Renowned for taking his subjects out of the studio, Norman Parkinson broke the mould by photographing his models in outdoor settings and natural light. This took portrait and fashion photography beyond the stiff formality of his predecessors, injecting an easy and casual elegance into the art.
