Freestyle’s Educational Steering Committee has selected a group of outstanding student work for a new exhibition of photographic prints. This year the diversity of prints has widened greatly, to include not only traditional B&W prints and alternative process, but also chromogenic prints and digital-crossover images. The work demonstrates the keen vision of a new photographic generation.

The Educational Steering Committee, a group of photographic educators, is committed to teaching traditional darkroom skills to the photographs of tomorrow. They offer advice and council to Freestyle Photographic Supplies with regard to supplies, curriculum, and creative techniques. The Steering Committee also serves as a forum for the educators’ thoughts and concerns about photography in the modern classroom.

INTRODUCING Framatic Frames! Framatic frames are intended to complement the framed image, not compete with it. Their clean, unelaborated design is intended to rise above trends rather than follow them. Framatic frames provide a classic, understated and appropriate solution for any image.

With simplicity, there is no opportunity to hide flaws. Therefore Framatic frames must be and are manufactured to very exacting standards. For example, unlike most ready made frames, the glass is clean and ready to use. Mitered corners are consistently tight. Fit and finish are always to the highest standard of quality in the industry.
