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. 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.
Please email me with any
further questions.
