For the second year running, Lion Studios and CD Fine Art Printing have joined forces with the local Facebook community Port Stephens in Pictures to bring something truly special to life.

In an era where photos are scrolled past in seconds, we’re bringing the beauty of the printed image back into focus. There's something unforgettable about holding a professionally printed photograph—something lasting, something real.

Port Stephens in Print, is open to public Monday to Friday 9.30-5.00pm. Come along and place your vote for People's Choice.
