One Vision Imaging

If standard framing services are not required, one of One Vision's most successful and popular products among professional photographers is its Box Frame. For when your customers want that 'off the wall' look, it provides an alternative to the regular canvas wrap. Simple yet cost effective, the Box Frame also looks the part in almost any environment.

There are five natural wood frame mouldings to choose from: Dark Brown, Black Wash, White Wash, Bare Ash Wood and Pine.

A further 'twist' on the product is offered in the shape of One Vision's 'MultiBox Frames', which as they sound are smaller versions of the product bolted together. The company believes this particular product lends itself beautifully to children and family portraiture, while due to the choice of upright and landscape formats it can fit in some of the more awkward locations around clients' houses. Configurations, layouts and sizes can be found on the website.

As if that wasn't enough One Vision Imaging's comprehensive Acrylic 'Ice' Range offers something, with the Opus Acrylic being the top of the range product. The Opus is fashioned from a high gloss acrylic back plate in either black or white with a floating clear piece of flame-polished acrylic at the front. This part houses clear, reverse mounted acrylic blocks that sit neatly in the cut apertures and rest on the back plate. Four large chrome studs connect the two pieces of acrylic, leaving the space between reflecting dynamic prisms of light. Layout options are again online.

Finally, worth flagging up from One Vision are its quirky Art Blocks.

Described as 'something different', these offer the opportunity to unleash that creative side and have been developed by combining two existing products - the Canvas Wrap Round (forming the base with your background image on) and their Coloured Edged Blocks, which display your main focal image(s). The blocks are adhered to the base with a tiny gap between to create the 'floating effect'. There are eight templates to choose from.
