I was having a look round the Newcastle/Gateshead Glow Festival last weekend with the boys and girls from the Newcastle Photo Walk and I decided to put some frames on my images when editing.
The comments I received from my images was that frames as part of the edit were not always a good thing; “Distracting” or “Pretentious”.
I know a lot of photographers that use frames on their Flickr uploads and I always think that they look good. So then what the crack, Frame it or not?
- How do you know if you should add a frame to your photos for digital viewing?
- When is it OK to add a frame?
- Should framing be kept for prints?
