Manly Waves Art Print
"Manly is where the world's first surfing contest was held in 1964, making it one of Australia's most famous beaches. The iconic beach curves from South Steyne to North Steyne and Queenscliff, where a submerged reef, or bombora, creates the waves that inspire the world's best surfers to travel to our shores."

We take great care and pride in packing our frames to ensure they arrive safely and well-presented. Our heavy-duty boxes are made with premium 8mm thick twin-wall corrugate and are specially designed to withstand rigorous handling during shipping. All frames are bubble wrapped and come with cardboard guards for added protection.
Unframed prints are carefully rolled up into our protective sleeves to protect the printed surface from rubbing and scuffing during shipping. Depending on the print size, we use four different sizes of tubes. The tubes we use are a premium 3mm thickness to minimise chances of crushing.

To ensure customers get the most out of their photographic print, our images are printed on 235gsm medium gloss Ilford photo paper using 9 colour solvent inks for the best colour dynamic and print longevity.

We have a range of standard sizes available to choose from that will easily fit most off-the-shelf frames from local homeware stores.

Small / A3 ~ 29 x 42 cm: 4cm uniform border

We pride ourselves on the quality of our craftsmanship and use only the best materials for every stage of the production process. Our made-to-order framed artworks are handled and produced by qualified framers here in Australia.
Our frames are made from premium, solid and sustainably sourced plantation timber to ensure structural integrity at larger dimensions. Our framed prints feature a unique vacuum-mounted design, where each print is firmly adhered to a backboard. This technique ensures the longevity of our products by preventing potential curling due to temperature fluctuations, extreme heat, or everyday moisture exposure in your home. In addition, each framed artwork includes protective tape around the back edges to further enhance its stability.
We use shatter-proof acrylic glass and a solid 3mm adhesive MDF backing to frame and protect your print. All of our framed artworks come ready-to-hang with D-rings and metal wire hangers affixed to the back of the frames.
The dimensions shown on our website are measurements of the physical print with the white border. Once framed, an additional 1.5cm is added to each side of the print.

Printed with the latest eco-solvent technology on high-end canvas material for outstanding photographic print quality and durability. Our canvas prints are professionally stretched and come ready to hang. Canvas prints are a great option if you are going after that edge-to-edge appearance.
Each canvas is evenly coated with a layer of Aquathane-UV liquid laminate to ensure prints are fade-resistant, durable and easy to clean.
We use a satin blend to give your canvas sufficient protection without being flat and dull or overly polished and reflective.
Change of mind
Please note all of our products are custom-made for each order and customer's specifications. We are unable to provide a refund or replacement based on a change of mind. Please review your cart and our product information carefully before placing the order, as we cannot modify or offer exchanges once the order is sent into our production pipeline. Please ask any q's before purchasing if you are unsure. We are more than happy to assist you.
You can choose a refund or exchange if an item has a major problem. This is when the item:
- has a problem that would have stopped someone from buying the item if they had known about it
- is unsafe
- is significantly different from the sample or description
- doesn't do what we said it would, or what you asked for and can't be easily fixed.
If you feel that you are not satisfied with your order, please reach out to us at info@throughourlens.com.au
All returns must be made within 14 days of receiving your order. Shipping costs when returning an item are at the buyer's expense and are non-refundable. Items must be returned in their original condition and packaging. Please do not discard the original packaging should you need to return an item, as we cannot provide this separately. The estimated delivery time of your exchanged product may vary depending on where you live. If you are shipping an item over $75, we advise using a trackable shipping service or purchasing insurance to go along with your service. There is no guarantee that we will receive your returned item.
Damaged in transit
Under Australian consumer law, we will replace any products that arrive damaged, faulty, or different to described on this website. When shipping large, fragile items, there is always a risk of damage during transit. Thankfully, this is a rare occurrence for us due to considerable protective packaging.
If items arrive damaged, you must contact us immediately via email within 24 hours of receiving the product and provide photos of the damage along with the original packaging. Please do not discard the packaging until sufficient evidence is provided to us.
Creating stunning photographs is only half the journey.
We've perfected an efficient made-to-order process that allows us to deliver framed pieces approximately 3 times faster than our competitors, without compromising quality.
Each photograph is carefully edited to achieve vivid colors and tones that consistently complement each other across works, allowing you to easily match and pair multiple pieces thanks to our signature editing technique.
Our standards are uncompromising – of the roughly 500 photos captured, only one makes the cut and is added to the site. Unlike other sites that rely on stock imagery, every artwork represents our attempt to reflect the unique character of each location.
Choosing the right materials is important.
We then invest in the finest materials like eco-solvent inks and Ilford Galerie photo paper to deliver rich, lifelike results with an unparalleled 98% color gamut. And our resin-coated, fingerprint-resistant surfaces eliminate glare for a flawless finish.
You may wonder how we manage to offer such high quality at accessible prices.
The answer lies in our streamlined made-to-order model – leveraging automation to make your art quickly without sacrificing standards. There's no overpriced warehouse, just professional local framers ensuring your piece has had our undivided attention.
At its core, our art is about more than mere decoration. It's about forging connections – with the stories behind the landscapes, with the communities they mean so much to, and with your own cherished memories. As Edgar and Norah often say, every selection makes a statement about what you value.
We're on a mission to enrich lives through beauty that inspires. And we back that up with a commitment to sustainable local production and a satisfaction guarantee – because your experience should be as exceptional as the art itself.
So bring those beloved places home, and let their essence transform your space.
