As a local Indianapolis photographer, I also want to deliver eco-friendly and sustainable options to each of my clients. I value offering all of my client’s fine art hardwood framed prints. The hardwood frames are built by a small family-owned business on the East Coast. Additionally, the sawdust shavings from the frames are used to build composite decking and packing material. Frames are stained with a water-based stain containing no VOCs. Your fine art prints are 100% cotton Hahnemühle archival paper. Connect via my contact form and I’ll share more about what separates me from other photographers in our area.
