The Artist behind the Craft šø
Iāve always believed that a photograph isnāt finished until itās on the wall. Not tucked in a folder, not glowing on a screen or lost in a cloud. In a frame that was built for it.
Iāve been a fabricator since my teenage years, starting in the custom automotive world. Creating high-end projects on some of the worldās most expensive cars. Over the years, I honed my skills and my attention to detail. Along the way, I picked up a passion for gardening and developed a deep appreciation for the beauty of nature š±
I didnāt know it at the time, but there was one thing these entirely different worlds had in common. Photography.
I decided to take the leap and buy my first professional camera!
After a couple of years photographing food, babies, puppies, and weddings on the side, I took a trip to Italy with my camera. I came back with an extensive portfolio of street photography. I had found my passion. As hundreds of people walked past the red Vespa on their way to the Spanish Steps, it was the Vespa that spoke to me. These are the kinds of images that reflect my view of the worldās beauty. The details most people walk right past.
With a large and growing collection of images, I wanted to showcase some of them at a local cafe. I started shopping for frames online. I found nothing that I felt could match the quality of the work I wanted to display, so I decided to build my own. I never intended to become a woodworker and always told myself itās the one craft I had no interest in. But that creative bug bit once again, and I found myself wanting to give others the opportunity to complement their photos the way I had done with mine.
What started as a leap of faith with a camera has become something I never expected. A business built entirely around the things I appreciate most: Precision, Beauty, and Craftsmanship. My photography and framing is the result of a lifetime of that craftsmanship, an eye that finds beauty where others donāt think to look and a standard of quality that shows up in every image and every frame š¼ļø
