Photography Framed
In 4H, and in photography, frames please?
okay so i’m in photography for 4H and i need to find frames. this is my first year, and i have no idea what kind of frames to get. all i know is my 4H president told me to get some at hobby lobby. but i’m not sure what kind to get! a lot of help i know right? anybody in 4H knowing what kind of frames to put your pictures in?
I’m not in 4H, but I am a landscape photographer, and I was in the custom framing business for 10-12 years. You won’t know what frames will look good with your images until you actually have the images in hand. When you do, take them to Hobby Lobby, or whatever frameshop, and check out the frame samples to see what will look best with them. It’s always best to mat and frame to the image. Meaning, if you’re working with color, mat and frame using colors that are prevalent in the image. B&W always looks best in blacks, greys, whites, and even silver. Don’t try to frame an image to match a room. It will never look right. For example, you have oak furniture, and your image has mostly purple and orange. Frame and mat to the purples and oranges, not the oak furniture. This way, it will always look good in any room, no matter what color it is. You’re not framing your couch, or your bedroom set. Artwork is supposed to have it’s own personality. Accetuate it. Same with b&w. Here’s another thing to think about, once you frame to the art, because it looks right, you’ll never have to reframe it due to a color, or decor change. Do it right the first time, spend less money.
