Smartphones are notorious for low memory alerts. Digital images are data hoarders. They can take up gigabits of memory that degrade your phone’s performance.

You can never really go overboard with the number of frames you have. The display can look like it is overkill if all your frames are crammed together in a gallery wall with little breathing space between them. Too much can look like clutter making it disorienting to the eye.

Is your gallery wall looking clustered, or far too busy? A busy wall leads to a busy mind and that heightens stress levels. That is not the comfortable environment that you would want in your living room.

Still life photos are akin to fine art. The style dates back centuries. Right back to the days when paintings of fruit bowls and flowers in vases were a thing. The same style is an entire genre in modern photography, just not with bowls of fruit. Things can be far more interesting.

Online art sites market to the masses. It is hard to stand out. To get your art into the eyes of customers ready to part with their cash to own the art that you made, your photography needs to vouch for your talent.

You can do a lot with very little. Sometimes, with just the things already laying around your house. Like the children’s toys, coloured pens, a laptop, a phone, and some paper to make stencils.

Read on below to discover some neat photography and framing tips for using parts of photo frames to make your own creative art that will be like no other.

6 Creative Photography and Framing Tricks

Spring is no time to be lazing around indoors binging on TV. The outdoors is alive bursting with colourful blooms, scents filling the air, wildlife adjusting to the brighter mornings, and the weather warming up, even if only slightly.

Your smartphone is your on-the-go computer. Regardless of the operating system (Windows, Android, or iOS), it will have a camera. The quality of photos taken is not as good as those taken with a DSLR, but with a little know-how, photos can be taken that are of a much similar quality.

The walls in any room are a blank canvas awaiting design. How you decorate them is a preference. It can be photos, paintings, sculptures, or shelves to display multiple ornamental items.

Art is and will continue to be, subjective. What one person views as evocative, imaginative, dramatic, or creative, another person could see the same thing and call it blatant vandalism.
