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

Two photos, side by side, the earlier one a little fuzzy on someone's phone, the recent one taken without thinking. Together, they say something no single image quite can. This print pairs two moments from your favourite photo to show what's stayed the same across time: the faces, the bond, the way two people lean into each other.

Each panel is rendered as an artist-reimagined digital watercolour, a soft, painterly style that sits on a wall the way a photo on a screen never quite does. It works especially well when the gap between images tells the story: a couple from the early years and now, a parent and child across a decade, lifelong friends who finally got a photo together. The duo format lets two moments speak to each other in a way a single portrait can't.

Before anything prints, you'll receive a free digital proof of both panels for your approval, nothing goes to print until you're happy with how they look together. Available in three sizes (21×29.7cm, 30×40cm and 45×60cm), with an optional solid wood frame in Black, White or Natural for an extra £30, and delivered in days.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use photos taken years apart, different quality, different lighting?

Yes, and that contrast is part of what makes the duo format work. Our artists reimagine both images in a consistent watercolour style, so mismatched photo quality or different lighting tends to disappear in the finished print. The free digital proof lets you see exactly how both panels sit together before we print.

Do both panels have to feature the same people?

They don't have to be identical subjects, though the print works best when there's a clear thread, the same couple, the same family group, or the same person at different ages. If you're unsure whether your two photos work well together, the proof stage is the right moment to check.

What size works best for a duo print?

The 30×40cm is the most popular choice for a duo, it gives each panel enough room to read clearly without dominating a wall. The 45×60cm is worth considering if you're framing it as a centrepiece or the photos have a lot of detail. The 21×29.7cm works well as a desk piece or a smaller gift.

How long does delivery take, and is the frame included in the price?

Prints are delivered in days once you've approved your digital proof. The print price covers the artwork and printing; a solid wood frame (Black, White or Natural) is available to add for an extra £30, and it arrives ready to hang.

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.
