Custom acrylic frames. Curate an exhibit worthy of your artwork.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sure, showcasing and selling images online is a given these days, but nothing beats exhibiting prints in a gallery<\/a> or show for people to see the works in person. It provides clients and potential clients the opportunity to see your best work and provides you with another exhibit to list on your artist\u2019s resume. Whether you are displaying your work at an artist-run venue or at a staffed gallery, we\u2019ve gathered a few d\u00e9cor ideas as well as shopPOPdisplays products that can help to create unique photography displays.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Choose a Cohesive Theme\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The subjects of your photographs most likely share a similar theme, such as people, animals, nature, etc. Whether you are capturing seaside vignettes, urban street life, or pet portraits, or whether your prints are developed in black and white or full of color, you still need to choose an overall, cohesive theme to pull your pieces together for a successful photography display. You can do this in a number of ways. Look for similarities in your work, such as color, light, subject, and even processing style to help guide your selection.<\/p>\n

Choosing a cohesive theme at the start will allow you to present your work more creatively. For a gallery display, use mattes to create high-contrast backgrounds to draw attention to your work and matching frames to create a sense of cohesiveness. Arrange your art in aligned rows to make it easy for clients to view. The sequence you place your images should create a natural rhythm or tell a story, but you can alternate dark and light images, mix close-ups with long-range images, or place in sequential order (or not, if that makes it more interesting.)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consider Color Theory\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Color theory is based on the color wheel (primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors). These colors are then combined to create one of five color schemes: complementary, analogous, split complementary, triadic, and tetradic. While color theory is a tool you can use when taking photographs, it can also be used when displaying them. For instance, the matte you choose can alter how your image is viewed based on its relationship to the values, saturation, and the warmth or coolness of the different hues in your work.<\/p>\n
