Choosing the Best Frame for Your Portrait

After your photography session, picking the right frame is the final step in turning your favourite portrait into lasting artwork for your home. The right surround protects your image while complementing the colours and mood of the photograph.

Start by looking at the tones in your picture. Dark wooden or black frames tend to suit rich, dramatic portraits by adding contrast and focus. Lighter woods and simple white mouldings work wonderfully with soft, natural light photography, keeping the overall feeling bright and airy.

Consider the room where you plan to hang the picture. You do not need to match your furniture exactly, but choosing a style that fits the atmosphere of your space helps the piece look at home. Adding a mount board around the photograph also creates breathing room and keeps the glass from touching the printed surface.
