WHY IS THE SIZE OF A FRAME IMPORTANT? Some people make the mistake of choosing a frame that is too small, thinking that a larger frame will overwhelm the picture. But a frame that is too small ends up looking like nothing. Also, purely for structural reasons, a large picture with glass needs a larger frame to hold the glass securely. The other thing to keep in mind is that there is no one way to frame an item. For any picture, I can show you multiple framing options. HOW DO YOU CHOOSE THE RIGHT SIZE FOR THE SPACE? It depends on whether you want your picture to stand out on its own or to be included in a group of pictures. I recommend that you use masking tape and mark off the space on your wall to see how it would look before attempting to hang the items. WHY IS PLACEMENT IMPORTANT? Placement can make your picture the focal point of the room or it can fit in with other items. The wrong placement will make your picture look out of place or worse, nobody will notice it. What is the point of framing something if nobody looks at it? - Christie Scott, Time Frame Gallery, www.timeframegallery.ca Photography is a personal choice. It’s important to choose a photographer whose style resonates with you. The Right photographer is one whose work has caught your eye not once but two or three times. After style, other important things to consider are price point, versatility and customer service. The experience and end cost of a Photographer all play an important role in your final selection. A photographer is also a business person who is there to serve you in a professional and cost effective manner. We pride ourselves in our work and meeting your requirements. - Blair Atkins, www. blairatkinsphotography.com 72 CANADIANHOMETRENDS.COM
