A picture frame is more than just a means to display an image. When done with consideration, a picture frame is an essential tool to enhance the visual impact of photography, print or artwork, bringing them to life.

When it comes to picking out the perfect picture frame for your project, we’ve put something helpful hints to get the most out of your choice.

Photography is a competitive business and when you find yourself bidding for wedding and portrait work against a wide selection of other professionals it’s tempting sometimes to look at cutting corners to be able to offer a more competitive quote. In this digital age one of the simplest things to do is to offer to simply shoot a wedding and then hand over the files on a memory stick, but if you choose to walk away from the finishing stage you not only turn your back on some good profit margin but you also run the risk that your client will present your work in a way that undersells your skills, potentially undermining your reputation.

In the fast paced world we live in it might sound a little strange to be thinking about deliberately slowing things down but, from a photographer’s perspective, this approach can pay huge dividends. It might mean having to plan ahead a little more and even a little envisaging of an end result that you can’t actually see at the shooting stage, but once you’re into the swing of things it will all become second nature and you’ll be amazed at what a slower way of working can help you achieve.
