Vision Graphics

I have been going to Bruce at Vision Graphics for many years and he has matted and framed every single piece of art displayed in my house. Bruce is absolutely amazing at what he does and always a pleasure to deal with.

I can’t say enough about the quality of the product and the responsiveness and caring with which Bruce Hazany and his team approached my framing project. I would give them the highest recommendation! I contacted Vision Graphics with a rather daunting task –the framing of a six foot square quilt that would require Plexiglas rather than glass because it would be displayed on the USS Somerset, which was commissioned in Philadelphia on March 1^st, 2014, The quilt honored the 40 passengers and crew on from Flight 93 that crashed in Somerset County, PA on September 11, 2001.
Bruce and his team were very inventive in creating a frame that would accommodate the quilt and a standard size of Plexiglas, and Bruce took the initiative to create another smaller frame that would be hung beside the quilt. The price was very reasonable compared to other sources I had checked. His personal commitment and dedication to ensuring that the finished product suitably honored the passengers and crew was most appreciated! They could not have been more helpful and accommodating in creating a beautiful memorial!

Great shop! Really cool prints, and I love their souvernirs/​magnet selection. Bruce is really awesome. I’ve been here multiple times to get passport photos, and not only did they come out great, but the service was also outstanding. (FYI — 2 for 8.99÷4 for 13.99).
However, one star comes off because I had a very odd/​puzzling experience today. Bruce is currently away, and his substitute (or one of them, if there are many) was working at the register/​counter. I came in for passport photos. My first impression was «indifferent» service, but that’s fine since I don’t need mind-​blowing service for passport photos.
We needed a set of 2 and a set of 8, a concept which seemed to completely disorient and confuse our counter person, even though it seemed pretty straightforward to us: 1 set of 2 for $ 8.99 and 2 sets of 4 for $ 13.99 each.
Initially, he took a photo from a downward angle facing up, upon which we asked him to retake it. He adjusted the camera accordingly, still took a crooked photo, then proceeded to print it out. He apologized that it took some time for the photos to get printed, which added a nice touch, but when he proceeded to cut the photos crookedly and sloppily, that’s when we realized that maybe it was the very first time he had EVER been asked to make passport photos, or that maybe he had NEVER encountered the concept of passport photos before.
The government lays out some very specific guidelines for passport photos, which, if not followed, would mean a rejected application often for a very expensive and time-​consuming process. In the grand scheme of things, having to retake passport photos is not too big of a deal, even with our packed work schedules.
However, to avoid processing delays of several months and/​or headaches and possibly some dizziness, we’ll have to return at a time when the person in charge of passport photos here is either Bruce or someone who knows how to properly handle a 1) camera, and 2) a hole-​punch style photo cutting device.

This was a really cool little shop. They had a bunch of artwork and offer framing services. They have a bunch of unique stuff, the most exciting of which was little statues made of scrap metal. I had only ever seen this at a flea market in Chicago. I bought a little DJ with turntables made out of scrap, screws, nuts, bolts etc. It is really a cool, funky little statue. –And it was only $ 30, which was quite a steal!
Great little shop!

Very friendly staff, and I found myself purchasing two artists prints rather than photos. Very pleased with selection, helpfulness to pick out frames and matting, and I found a lovely print from a local artist of a scene in Philadelphia. I will definitely revisit for gifts, I am pleased with the combination of quality, and potential to give someone something they will have for a lifetime.

I’m an artist who occasionally deals with photography. Recently I was in need of printing and framing and I found my way to Vision Graphics. Don’t let the mall location fool you. This is a first rate professional place. Bruce (the owner) is a rarity in today’s service providing world; meaning he’s honest, diligent and cares a lot about the customer’s satisfaction. He would go with you, slowly and patiently, over your different options until you find something you feel good about.
All in all, I couldn’t recommend it more. The prices are reasonable for printing of this quality and the framing is beautifully done.

I don’t think i can praise VISION GRAPHICS enough! I had used them to frame several prints for me in the past but I could not have imagined how much Bruce would help me as I prepared to move. I was feeling rather desperate about packing up three very large framed items and had no confidence in anyone on the phone who said they could do it. Bruce arrived with all the appropriate material needed and together we lifted the framed (by Vision Graphics!) 1890s Cheret lithograph off the wall and packed it. Then it was the tremendously heavy antique tapestry from China and, finally, my very large Haitian painting. Of all that I packed in my house, these three items are the ones i am sure will never be damaged in transit or in storage.
Bruce’s experience and diligence are so appreciated. He treated my treasures as if they belonged in the Louvre. I might also remark upon his good will and good humor. We finished the packing at midnight!

Do you live or work in Center City? Do you need something framed or preserved? Visit Bruce at Vision Graphics. Seriously. I can’t say enough about how impressed I am with his work.
I came to him with 4 portraits of the Beatles to mount in one large frame (from the White Album… really cool shots!), and he spent easily a half-​hour with me trying to get the layout, frame and mat color just right. I left his store feeling very confident that my portraits would be mounted and framed with care and attention to detail.
He estimated 2 weeks for the job, but when I stopped by and requested them sooner (I gave the finished work as a present), he was happy to oblige. 2 days later, the pictures were framed, and beautifully I might add. I am so thrilled with his work, I’ll definitely be back if I have anything more to frame.
I’ve never been to a framing store to have something professionally framed. That could be a contributor to why I was so impressed with Bruce’s work. But for that reason, I especially appreciated how helpful and honest he is.
Is custom framing more expensive than ready-​mades from Michael’s or Ikea? Sure is. But is it worth it? Absolutely. My Beatles pictures are now hanging on my girlfriend’s wall in remarkable style.
