Original photographic print.
Mauao Whitewater
Image is printed onto photographic paper and framed with a white A3 frame. The protective cover is 5mm acrylic salvaged from off cuts, which means this framed print is light and durable. All printing is done here in New Zealand. The frame is hand made in Papamoa, and then assembled here at LA Studio.
