What makes a great photo
- A close-up where the face fills most of the frame.
- Natural daylight, with no harsh flash or heavy shadows.
- Taken at eye level, looking towards the camera.
- Sharp and in focus. A good phone photo is plenty.

Framing & sizing
Why we sell our prints unframed
Most of our prints ship unframed, so you can choose a frame you love rather than pay for one you'd swap out.
- Pick your own look. Match the frame to your room, oak, black or white wood, or a mounted gallery style.
- Don't pay twice. A frame you didn't choose often gets replaced. Unframed keeps the cost on the artwork.
- Ships flat and safe. A flat-packed print travels far better than glass.
Prefer it ready to hang? Add a fitted black, white or natural wood frame at the size step above.
Choosing a frame that fits
Our prints come in three standard sizes, so an off-the-shelf frame is easy to find:
- 21 × 29.7 cm (A4) — fits any standard A4 frame.
- 30 × 40 cm — a common ready-made frame size.
- 45 × 60 cm — a popular large size, also widely sold ready-made.
Two easy ways to frame it:
- Frame to size. Buy a frame in the exact size above, no mount needed.
- Use a mount (mat). Choose a slightly larger frame with a mount cut to your print size, for a gallery look with a border.
Tip: check the frame's artwork opening (not its outer size), and look for a real glass or acrylic front.
How it'll look on your wall
Here's how the three sizes compare against a standard three-seat sofa (about 2 m wide) and an adult, for scale:
Above a sofa or sideboard, most people choose 30 × 40 or 45 × 60 cm. For a shelf or a gallery wall of several prints, A4 works well.
About this print
Some of the best conversations happen at 60mph, going nowhere in particular. A Car Ride Moments watercolour print takes one of those ordinary journeys, a familiar face in the passenger seat, a favourite road, a moment you didn't know you were saving, and reimagines it as a soft watercolour portrait worth hanging on the wall.
This is an artist-reimagined digital watercolour, made from a photo you choose and printed to order by Gelato. It suits the people who would never buy themselves something like this: a dad who did the school runs for fifteen years and never once complained, a partner who knows every shortcut and every playlist, a grandparent who still insists on doing the pick-up. A gift for a birthday, Father's Day, or simply because you noticed those miles.
Before anything prints, you'll receive a free digital proof to approve, so you can see exactly how the finished portrait will look, and nothing goes to print until you're happy with it. Available in three sizes (21 × 29.7 cm, 30 × 40 cm and 45 × 60 cm), with an optional wood frame in Black, White or Natural (+£30). Delivered in days.
Frequently asked questions
What photo works best for a car ride print?
A clear shot of the person or people in the car tends to work best, whether that's a candid mid-journey, a smiling selfie at the destination, or a quiet moment at the wheel. Our artists work from the detail in your photo, so the sharper and better-lit it is, the more of the character comes through in the watercolour.
Can I see how it will look before it prints?
Yes, every order includes a free digital proof. Once our artists have reimagined your photo as a watercolour portrait, we send you the proof to review. Nothing goes to print until you've approved it, so there's no guesswork on your end.
What sizes and framing options are available?
The print comes in three sizes: 21 × 29.7 cm, 30 × 40 cm and 45 × 60 cm. You can add a wood frame in Black, White or Natural for an additional £30, delivered ready to hang.
How long will delivery take?
Most orders are printed and dispatched within a few days of proof approval. Exact delivery times vary by location, but we print close to you via Gelato's network to keep transit times short, so it's a realistic option even when a gifting occasion isn't too far off.
What if I don't like the proof?
Then we change it. The proof stage is there so you can ask for tweaks to the colours, the background or the likeness, and we'll keep revising until you're happy. Nothing goes to print until you approve it.
Can I return it if I change my mind?
Because every print is made to order from your photo, we can't accept returns for a change of mind. You approve a free digital proof before we print anything, so there are no surprises. And if a print arrives damaged or not as approved, we'll put it right straight away.
