Selecting the perfect medium and framing for your fine art photography is essential to showcasing its beauty and ensuring it complements your space. At Maxwell Fine Art Photography, I offer two premium options: Lumachrome Acrylic Prints and ChromaLuxe HD Metal Prints. To further enhance your acrylic prints, I also offer hand-made Italian wood framing by Roma Moulding. Here’s a comparison of each, including their pros and cons, to help you make the best choice.
