Whether it's a work by an artist that conveys a lot to you, has great sentimental value or is merely decorative, photography is one of the elements most likely to be framed. When framing a photo, there are many factors to take into account to achieve the best result.
At Nomadart we want to share with you a series of tips that will be very useful when framing a photograph, although you already know that if you purchase photographic work in our gallery you will always receive your work framed in optimal conditions and following the best recommendations. Shall we begin?
Tip 1: Choose a molding that does not detract from the work.
It is recommended that the frame be monochromatic , without any very striking motifs or elements, to ensure that the photo conveys the artist's implicit message. In addition, this way we will ensure that all the attention is focused on the photograph.
You should also take into account the decorative style of the room where you are going to hang the photograph. If it is a more rustic or classic style, it is better to opt for a wooden frame; if it is a modern style, you can also opt for a monochromatic frame.
Generally, if the photograph is in black and white , the moulding and the passe-partout (if there is one) will also be in black and white. In this way, the harmony of the work is respected and complemented perfectly, without drawing attention to it.
However, in the case of colour photographs , it is more difficult to speak in general terms. We will get the moulding right as long as we keep in mind the first piece of advice we have outlined.
Tip 2: Protect the photograph properly
Given the tendency of photographic paper to curl, it is highly recommended to laminate photos before framing them. This technique involves mounting the photograph on foam board and applying a matte or glossy film to protect it from water, abrasion and other possible damage.
Contact between photographic paper and glass should always be avoided. This will prevent deterioration and the so-called " Newton's rings " effect in the contact areas.
Tip 3: Always pay attention to trends.
Laminated and framed photographs are the latest trend. You can take a look at the ones we have in our catalogue. You will see how they give your home a much fresher and more modern style.
