As the year comes to a close, we take a moment to reflect on just a few of the exhibitions, events, and partnerships we’ve supported, along with the incredible clients and their projects that have made this year memorable. For 2025, we’re proud to celebrate the following highlights (in no particular order)…
Metro Imaging becomes a part of Genesis Imaging
First things first, the big news… we recently announced that Metro Imaging was becoming a part of Genesis Imaging.
Many of Metro’s experienced team joined us in Fulham, helping to ensure a seamless continuation of the craft, care and technical excellence that both Genesis and Metro are known for.
For over four decades, Metro Imaging has been a major force in the industry, trusted by artists, photographers and institutions including the National Portrait Gallery, The Photographers’ Gallery, the V&A, Tate, Magnum Photos and more!
We are confident that this next chapter will further strengthen the services we provide and ensure you continue to receive the very best support for your creative work.
David Yarrow: ‘The Collection’
Genesis was honoured to continue working with David Yarrow’s incredible images, providing bespoke framing and hand-wrapped window mounts for his latest exhibition, The Collection, at Maddox Gallery.
For nearly four decades, David Yarrow has worked in two complementary worlds: the instinctive pursuit of photographing wildlife in an authentic way and the cinematic staging of stories. In ‘The Collection’ these worlds play out in three acts—instinct, performance, and allure—brought together in his boldest exhibition to date, a career-defining showcase of predators, legends and icons.
ChromaLuxe came back!
After a period of unavailability due to a faulty heat press, this year we were thrilled to have our beloved ChromaLuxe Printing service back up and running!
ChromaLuxe prints are available in sizes up to 60×40 inches, and you can find more information about the process and benefits of this vibrant and durable print method…
Joy Gregory at Frieze Masters
Genesis was honoured to have produced Duratrans prints for Joy Gregory’s solo exhibition of her early works, presented by Huxley-Parlour at Frieze Masters.
‘The Face Magazine: Culture Shift’ at National Portrait Gallery
Genesis was incredibly honoured to have provided our Photographic Printing and Bespoke Framing services for the National Portrait Gallery’s exhibition, ‘The Face Magazine: Culture Shift’.
‘The Face Magazine: Culture Shift’ celebrated iconic fashion images and portraits from The Face, a trail-blazing youth culture and style magazine that has shaped the creative and cultural landscape in Britain and beyond.
RCA Bursary
This year we were proud to continue supporting students from the Royal College of Art’s MA Photography programme, awarding a £1000 bursary of credit towards our services.
Genesis was excited to award this year’s bursary is Chandni Raithatha for her project ‘Dada’. Chandni’s ability to engage with the complex and sensitive history of colonialism and migration stood out for its emotional depth, critical insight, and clarity of intention. We were particularly impressed by her thoughtful integration of archival materials with original photography to construct a rich, layered narrative. Her experimentation with multi-media installation and alternative printing methods reflects a bold and inquisitive practice that resonates strongly with the spirit of this bursary – supporting artists who push creative boundaries while addressing important themes.
Instagram Q&A Sessions
2025 saw us launch our weekly Q&A sessions for the month of September. We answered lots of your questions on all things printing, mounting, framing… and some just for fun too!
If you missed them, fear not! You can view all questions and answers on our Instagram story highlights!
Got more questions for us? Keep your eyes peeled… perhaps we’ll do some more Q&A sessions in 2026!
DIGITALISM at British Art Fair
This year, we were thrilled to work with Rebekah Tolley, curator of DIGITALISM at the British Art Fair, providing a wide range of services for so many incredible artists experimenting with digital art; from C-type, Giclée, Direct to Media and ChromaLuxe printing, to Perspex face mounting, bespoke framing and lightboxes!
We’re very much looking forward to the 2026 edition of the fair!
Photo London 2025
On the subject of art and photo fairs… it was an absolute pleasure not only to attend Photo London 2025, but also to collaborate with so many galleries at the fair, delivering a range of our printing, mounting, framing, and installation services.

With over 25 years of experience in exhibition production, our team is here to support you every step of the way. Plus, we’re pleased to continue offering the following:

FORMAT Festival 2025 Genesis Imaging Award
We were honoured to share that the winner of the Genesis Imaging Award for FORMAT Festival 2025 was Sujata Setia, whose powerful and moving project A Thousand Cuts stood out to us among many exceptional submissions. As part of the award, Sujata received £1000 credit for photographic or fine art printing/finishing services at Genesis.
Sujata is a UK-based Indian artist whose work sits at the intersection of photography and socially engaged art, exploring themes of abuse, cultural imperialism, and unarchived subaltern histories.
Sujata’s ‘A Thousand Cuts’ went on to be featured in the Wellcome Photography Prize 2025, and was selected as one of three winners! We’re so proud to have worked with Sujata on framing the beautiful and intricate works from this series.
Levon Biss: ‘Microsculpture’ at Oxford University Museum of Natural History
This year, Levon Biss’ breathtaking ‘Microsculpture’ was on show at Oxford University Museum of Natural History.
The stunning high-magnification insect portraits by British photographer Levon Biss were first shown in the ‘Microsculpture’ exhibition at this museum in 2016, and since then, the show has toured to 44 cities in 22 countries around the world!
We’re honoured to have produced Direct to Media prints on recyclable Coala honeycomb-core card panels for this stunning exhibition.
The best part? ‘Microsculpture’ is still on show at Oxford University Museum of Natural History until 4th January 2026 and is free to all!
