Metal - Standard Plus (Deluxe 1)

If you prefer extra depth and a little wider face to your frame the Standard Plus is a nice frame. Whether you select a color or black and white photo this is a nice frame to choose. It does cost a little more since it is a Deluxe 1 Frame.

Matting and Framing

The saying goes “Presentation is Everything”. While you may or may not agree with this statement, presentation is important. Choosing the right media to print your fine art photograph on along with the right mat, frame and glass are all important components to having a quality result. I work with clients to give them the total package that will meet or exceed their expectations. Some selection decisions must be made before starting:

Print Media Choices

What the image is printed on is a choice that we can talk about. It comes down to the subtle look of the image on different papers or more noticeable differences with canvas, metal and glass.

Fine Art Paper – comes in a variety of finishes: glossy, luster / satin and matt.Fine Art Specialty Paper – 100% Cotton Rag, Metallic, Watercolor Paper, etc.

Canvas Metallic / Glass – May be Frameless

Mats

I typically use a museum and conservation quality matboard which is 100% Acid Free. I use a base matboard and an overmat of the same color (white) for my gallery showings. The client may want to have an accent color with the base mat or overmat to compliment their décor. I am happy to work with the client to meet their preferences.
