Framing a Print for Gallery Display

Visit my website and blog at photographyvoyages.wordpress....
How I frame a print for display.
Some galleries require a plain, narrow black metal frame, with photograph surrounded by at least a 3" wide white mat.
16" x 20" Single Mat Conservation Paper - White Wash
Opening: 9" x 13"
16" x 20 Matshop Mouldings - Regular Black Metal
16" x 20" Backing Foamcore AF Black 3/16
16" x 20" Glazing Plexi - 1 mm
All supplies from the MatShop, Canada

A skilled craftsman, a framer who measures instead of just estimating.
There are some horrible framers around these days, but clearly this gentleman isn't one of them.

I gave it a thumbs up for the moody 80's guitar soundtrack alone.

Congrats! Now you have a beautiful, pristine mounted and framed fine art print, which you can hang in your living room!

Thanks for the video, Adrian ... and the awesome soundtrack :)

You're welcome, Ashoke.

It is the standard gallery mount and framing...done exactly as it’s supposed to be done.

[@carolcat009]

Great video, I needed a refresher and this info did the trick.
Thank you and the music is wonderful too (Corel Videostudio...I think)

[@AHydrant]

Yes, Corel Videostudio. I did find out that the music is not copyright free, so the ad revenue goes elsewhere.

Did you put the hanging wire on for landscape format on a portrait format picture?

[@sirpsys]

Noticed that too. It's an easy mistake to make...I've done it for sure. Also easy to fix...but yeah he did

What brand of 'glass' sheets do you use?

[@katherine0256]

Yes, what are those clear sheets and where do you find them ?

[@AHydrant]

They are acrylic/plexi, and mine came from: www.matshop.ca/products/glass_and_plexi/plexi.html

[@katherine0256]

Thanks!

[@CalligraphybyShukri]

Can same be done for framing an original painting for gallery display as well please?

[@AHydrant]

Usually, yes. But if you have a particular gallery in mind, it would be best to consult them first.

[@bencarrdus9583]

Excellent -- cleared up a lot of questions for me. (But your taste in music sucks. Had to mute.)

[@kfotoprm]

But why use fucking PLASTIC!

[@photozen8398]

And why he mounted artwork on the window mat? it should be on the backing and the window mat is hinged to .
