Mastering the Art of Framing
Your Guide to the Perfect Mount
Welcome to the world of fine art photography, where every detail matters. As you embark on your journey to enhance the visual allure of your chosen photograph, understanding the significance of a well-crafted mount becomes essential.
Choosing the Right Mount:
A mount, also known as matting, serves a dual purpose – it adds a layer of protection to your photograph and enhances its visual impact. Here’s a guide to choosing the right mount for your masterpiece:
- Size Matters: Opt for a mount that provides a balanced border around your photograph. The width of the mount should complement the dimensions of the image, allowing it to stand out without being overwhelmed.
- Colour Harmony: The colour of the mount plays a crucial role in influencing the overall aesthetics. Consider the tones present in your photograph and choose a mount color that harmonizes with the dominant hues. Whether it’s a classic white or a subtle shade from the image, the right choice can elevate the entire presentation.
- Material Quality: Investing in high-quality mount material ensures longevity and protection for your photograph. Acid-free and archival-quality mounts prevent damage caused by environmental factors, preserving your artwork for years to come.

Mounting Techniques:
Once you’ve selected the perfect art of mount, it’s time to seamlessly integrate it with your photograph. Here are some tried-and-true techniques:
- Hinging: Use acid-free hinging tape or corners to secure your photograph to the mount. This technique allows for easy removal without causing damage.
- T-hinge Method: For a secure and discreet mounting option, consider the T-hinge method. This involves creating small “T”-shaped hinges with acid-free tape, providing stability without distracting from the image.
- Dry Mounting: In cases where a permanent bond is preferred, dry mounting involves adhering the photograph to a backing board using heat-activated adhesive. This technique ensures a flat and firm presentation.
