Choosing Your Paper Finish

QUICK GUIDE
• Color Portrait: Lustre
• Black and White Portrait: Deep Matte
• Bright, Shiny, Vivid Look: Glossy

NOT SURE WHICH PAPER FINISH IS RIGHT FOR YOUR PORTRAIT?
USE THIS SIMPLE GUIDE:

• LUSTRE - Best choice for color portraits. Lustre has a soft sheen with rich color, natural skin tones, and beautiful detail without strong glare. It also shows fewer fingerprints than glossy.

• DEEP MATTE - Best choice for black and white portraits. Deep Matte is especially well suited for black and white portraits and softer, more intimate images. Its low-reflection surface helps subtle highlights, shadows, expression, and tonal detail stand out beautifully.

• GLOSSY - Best choice for vivid color and a traditional shiny finish. Glossy gives colors more punch, deeper looking blacks, and stronger apparent contrast, but it also reflects more light and shows fingerprints more easily.

Choosing Your Print Size

QUICK GUIDE
• Gifts and Small Frames: 5×7 or 8×10
• Keep More of the Original Composition: 8×12 or 12×18
• Medium Wall Portrait: 11×14 or 16×20
• Large Statement Portrait: 16×24, 20×30, 24×36, or 30×40

• 5×7 - A classic smaller portrait size. Great for gifts, grandparents, desks, shelves, and smaller frames.
• 8×10 - A familiar portrait size that is easy to frame. A great choice for senior, family, couple, and individual portraits.
• 8×12 - Keeps more of the photograph’s original composition than an 8×10. Especially good for environmental portraits where the surrounding scenery is part of the image.
• 11×14 - A versatile medium size that works beautifully on a wall without feeling oversized.
• 12×18 - Preserves more of the original photograph’s proportions and gives environmental portraits more room to breathe.
• 16×20 - A traditional larger wall portrait that gives the image more presence while still fitting comfortably in many spaces.
• 16×24 - A strong statement size that preserves the original 2:3 composition well. Excellent for full length and environmental portraits.
• 20×30 - A larger wall piece for a favorite portrait you want to stand out in the room.
• 24×36 - A dramatic statement size that works especially well for full length and scenic portraits.
• 30×40 - A true large scale wall portrait for clients who want one image to become a major focal point.

Choosing Your Display Style

QUICK GUIDE
• Want to choose your own frame: Print
• Classic and relaxed wall art: Canvas
• More polished, upscale canvas: Framed Canvas
• Classic finished portrait presentation: Gallery Frame
• Warm, natural framed look: Wood Frame
• Modern, vivid statement piece: Metal Print
• Rustic, organic presentation: Wood Print

NOT SURE WHICH DISPLAY STYLE IS RIGHT FOR YOUR PORTRAIT?
USE THIS SIMPLE GUIDE:

• PRINT: Best if you already have a frame, want to choose your own framing, or are purchasing photographs as gifts. Available in traditional portrait sizes as well as larger statement sizes.

• CANVAS: A ready to hang option with a soft, relaxed appearance. Canvas works beautifully for family, senior, engagement, and environmental portraits and does not require additional framing.

• FRAMED CANVAS: Combines the softer character of canvas with a finished outer frame. A great choice when you want the warmth of canvas with a more polished and substantial presentation.

• GALLERY FRAME: A classic professionally framed portrait presentation. An excellent choice for senior, family, couple, and individual portraits when you want a timeless finished piece ready for the wall.

• WOOD FRAME: A warm, natural framing option that pairs especially well with outdoor, ranch, country, mountain, coastal, and golden hour portraits.

• METAL PRINT: A sleek, contemporary option with strong detail, rich contrast, and vivid color. A beautiful choice for bold color portraits and modern spaces.

• WOOD PRINT: A rustic specialty option where the natural character of the wood becomes part of the presentation. Best for portraits where you intentionally want a warm, organic, and less traditional look.
