Gift Prints vs Wall Art

2/1/2022

1 Comment

 
Hello there!

Today, my mission is to share the difference between those awesome small prints and what we should admire on the walls of our home and office. Studio 21 is a full service photography studio. I will guide you on which prints will work best for gifting and the different sizes and materials for installing your masterpieces. You may be asking yourself, "Materials?". Studio 21 offers wall art in metal, acrylic, linen, and mounts. At your consultation and ordering session, we will discuss which will suit your decorating style.

Let's get started!

What is a gift print exactly?
It is an 8x10 or smaller. These are intended for you to gift to others. They are wonderful for displaying on desks, table tops, shelves, and bookcases. 

Wall art pieces are substantially larger. They make a statement all on their own.

Wall art galleries are a collection of wall art pieces that compliment each other.

In my experience, most people think that an 8x10 is a large print and needs to be on the wall. As you will see in the photos below, that it is really too small to showcase by itself. A fantastic presentation is a collection of 8x10s. I personally prefer metal prints on float mounts however, in 11x14 frames with mats are another great presentation.

This lonely little 8x10 looks like a postage stamp on the wall.

This 16x24 presentation is much better but it is still lacking.

Much much better however it could still use some added pizazz.

Okay! Now we are talkin'! This is a wonderful example of how to display your art pieces.

What a way to make a statement with small prints! This way you can showcase many portraits from the same portrait session. This is a classy presentation!
As you can see, one tiny 8x10 on the wall just isn't working. To create an interesting gallery, it takes multiple prints. The larger ones are nice by themselves however they present much better and even "tell a story" with more than one.

I would love to meet you, show you the different wall art materials, and to see how we can get some gorgeous art work on your walls! Click this button for your complimentary consultation and a tour of the studios.
