I've reached the point where I want to start printing more, and having done a 'lockdown project' of photographing my local village, I may be looking to do a mini exhibition in the local library, and even selling some of the pictures.
My questions are, what is the best way to present - am confused by the following;
- Looking at various Photo Societies Rules, (I'm not a member of any), they all seem to want photos glued onto a 50mm x 40mm backboard for presentation.
- Some articles say that to exhibit photo's they should be mounted/ glued on a board, and then a front mount glued on top, with a window to show off the image.
- I've also seen the mounts that you can buy which are like envelopes, with a window in front, where the photo is just slid into the envelope, with the need for any gluing.
Is there a 'standard' or is it a case of whatever you fancy doing?
The 'envelope type' mounts seem to be the easiest to use - as long as the picture size is right for the size of the mount - but not many tutorials mention these. Are they frowned upon?
Any advice would be gratefully received, as well as any tips on exhibiting and selling.
Thanks
Phil
