A few days ago I ordered some sample display images to show to prospective clients. The idea was to go for some significant “Wow” factor and I’m very pleased with the results.In compiling the order I selected some of my favourite images from the Wedding Seminar I took in October and re-worked them to produce a 12″x8″ image surrounded by a 2″ wide white border. The overal finished print size worked out to be 16″x12″ so was a reasonable size for display purposes. I also added a thin black pencil line around the image area to give the eye a visual hook to the edge of the image and provide a degree of separation before rendering the finals out at 300dpi and sRGB, as recommended by the lab.
To add a little more “Wow” I also chose to have the finished prints mounted on 3mm foamex board. I wanted the extra stiffness to prevent the photos from curling up, making them difficult for the client to handle and see. This made them a lot more expensive but it was worth it.
The finished images arrived in the post a couple of days ago and my initial impression (and that of Mrs. LightMatters too for that matter) was definitely “Wow, Wow and more Wow”
So I’ve achieved my goal and will be taking them with me when I go to see a client.
Only problem now is how to transport them? I have an oversized brief case that I could use which may just do the job.
