Suggested Framing Simply
Stunning Photographs
This series of images focuses on positive and negative space surrounding animals in captivity. In order to reinforce the use of space in
these images, I suggest leaving a white border and using a white
frame so that the photograph is foregrounded and the frame almost
disappears.
I typically exhibit these photographs with a two-inch white border.
I mount them to acid-free Sintra board. I recommend framing
these images with a chunky, sturdy, wood such as maple, that is painted white, with a 2 inch deep side and with
a 3/4 in. wide face (see right). Float the image in the frame using a .5 in.
setback. If you plan to ship the photograph, use acylic (instead
of glass) glazing. Acrylic is also lightweight, which makes the
artwork easier to move and hang.
Rather than sign my prints, I sign a sticker that is put on the back of the framed work.
Please email me with any
further questions.
