About Us
A creative studio shaped by storytelling, craftsmanship and community.
When it comes down to it, Framed is about sharing stories.
Who We Are
We’re a small team of experienced creatives, craftspeople and industry professionals who care deeply about the work we do.
With backgrounds spanning professional photography, archival printing, custom framing and visual storytelling, we bring together decades of hands-on experience across the creative industries. Every part of the studio is shaped by people who genuinely understand the craft behind it — from colour, materials and print quality through to framing design, preservation and presentation.
From fine art printing and custom framing to art reproduction, scanning, image restoration and preservation, our work is centred around helping people turn the things that matter into lasting physical pieces designed to be lived with and enjoyed for a lifetime.
Our Story
Framed has evolved from three separate creative businesses — a professional photography studio, print shop and frame shop — that spent almost 15 years operating side by side, sharing space, collaborating closely and shaping one another through a shared belief in craftsmanship, creativity and meaningful human connection.
Through The Photography Boutique, we saw firsthand how often meaningful photographs were being let down by poor-quality printing once they returned for framing at Southern Picture Framers. That experience sparked a growing obsession with print quality, colour, materials and presentation, that eventually evolved into Fred Snow Print Shop.
Over time, the close relationship between the businesses strengthened the connection between print, framing and the final experience of the work itself.
In 2026, those foundations officially came together under one name: Framed.
Why We Exist
Today, Framed exists as both a working creative studio and part of a growing creative precinct — bringing together printing, framing, exhibitions, workshops and collaborative creative businesses under one roof.
While much has evolved over the years, the heart of the business remains the same: helping people create meaningful, lasting pieces from the things that matter most to them.
We believe the things we surround ourselves with shape the feeling of a home, a business and a life. In a fast-moving digital world, physical objects still have the power to ground us, tell stories and hold meaning in ways a screen cannot.
In a world of constant comparison, our vision is for people to celebrate their own story.
