A private collection, a decade in the making, now open to everyone.
Julian Arceo has photographed portraits for more than a decade. Arceo Studio Collective is the studio he opened after the first decade of it, and this is the collection he spent that decade assembling: every moulding, mat and surface ordered, hung and lived with before it was ever offered to a client, and anything that did not hold up dropped. It stayed private the whole time, available only to the families he photographed. It is what members choose from on portrait days at the private clubs the studio works in, and what they say about the quality is the reason it is being opened up. Bring a photograph you already own and print it from the same collection. More about the studio and the work
Chosen, not stocked.
This is not a frame factory with an upload box on the front of it. Every moulding, mat and surface offered here earned its place by being compared against the alternatives and coming out better. Where a product did not measure up, it simply is not on the site.
That is also why the previews are built the way they are. The frame you see is rendered from the actual milled profile, and the mat is the actual board, so the piece that arrives matches the one you approved.
If a photograph will not hold up at the size you want, the site will say so before you pay rather than after it arrives. And if something is still not right when it reaches you, write to me and I will put it right.
