Frames and mounts each have individual jobs to do for your picture. It is important that you choose carefully your picture frame and mount as the wrong choice can make your artwork look terrible. Professionals can easily tell you which frame will best fit your picture.
Before you frame you artwork, make sure you have removed the bits you do not want from the picture. It will not look very nice if there is a gap between the picture and mount/frame. The option is available to increase and decrease the size of your photograph with most developers.
Having a wide mount that also has a neutral colour will help your pictures and photos to be more eye-catching. The reason there is a mount is so that it directs the viewer’s eye to your artwork and also to improve the look of it. The point is to enhance the look of the photograph, not steal the attention from it – it is for this reason that you should opt for a neutrally coloured mount.
You must put a lot of care into choosing your frame’s colour, as brightly coloured frames can take away from the beauty of your pictures.
