Deciphering Print Options for Home Photos?

[lee_feigenbaum]

<p>Hi everyone,<br>

I've been taking very amateur photos for a long time but am still very much a beginner. My family's recently moved to a new home and we're planning to print some of our favorite photos to decorate the walls of our home.<br>

We have a few favorites from over the years that we're thinking of hanging on the walls of the hallway near the entrance to our home. The walls are painted a light gray with white trim, and we'd like the photos to present bold and vibrant.<br>

We've done traditional framed and matted photos in other areas of the house, and are looking at frameless options for these photos.<br>

I'm overwhelmed by the choices of paper vs canvas and mounting options available, and was wondering if anyone would have advice as to printing & mounting & hanging options that might do a good job at showing off the colors of these images:</p>

I've been looking at a wide variety of canvas, paper-on-canvas, metal, etc. options online, and am at a loss for what might work well with these photos. Any suggestions?<br>

many thanks in advance!<br>

<p>Make some small prints exploring the various options and see for your self. That will also let you test mat color without breaking the bank.<br>

<p>You should consider moving your primary 'subject' out of the dead-center of the images.</p>

Except, taken as a collection, a theme emerges. </p>

<p>Yeah, the centered compositions could be sorta <a href="http://vimeo.com/89302848">Wes Andersonesque</a>. They look fine to me.</p>
