Photography F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2026 Apr 22 8:14 pm)



Subject: To Border a Print or Not

Hey Everyone,
My photography work is starting to take off. In different areas. Sport, weddings , business photos and now pet portraits.
I will be finally selling my prints on frogs etc. Do you recommend putting a white border with my name and website( eg like Andreas does on his brilliant images). Or leave it plain? Sign or not sign? Name or not name?
We are setting up a shopcart at my ribbets site. But also local gift shop will be buying my prints and framing them. They will be also opening another shop.
So any thoughts on presentation etc would be appreciated.
Chris:)

I would give it a border. Something simple and elegant. And I would sign it in some way too. Not too overt, but to make it uniquely yours. Name or logo, that is up to you. Signed and numbered limited print runs look good. Congrats Chris!!

To border a picture is an art by itself! I would give it a border too, as Kort said! Just imagine a museum with no framed picture! :) But, even so, modern art  sometimes needs no borders or frames! In the end,  it is better with no border than an ugly one!

I agree a simple border, either white or a matching colour from within the picture & definatly add a signature

all mine is matted and the one I see around here is matted and got plactic around it. I do not know where they get  the plactic wrap . They are sign and have a artist proof number on them and the date.[I put the artist proof and sign and date so the matt will cover them. I may be wrong here with my name coved with the matt too] 
 This is what I see around here too by all the artist that have work for sell and is not in a fram with glass[that cost a lot more]

what you see is not what you know; it in your face
