In an age when digital media is all the rage, has film photography become defunct? Not quite, but it’s getting there. One study in the US by a chain photo printer revealed that 92.5% of all the photos printed were taken from digital devices. Just 7.5% of the photos were snapped with a film camera. The majority of those are likely to be photos taken by film photography hobbyists.
Artists, pay close attention! Even if you graduated because if you did, you probably Mastered in an arts course. Not business advertising. And even if you did, the world’s forever changing. Consumers are more knowledgeable now, paying attention to local businesses and their practices for sustainability. People are interested in knowing if canvas paintings are done on hemp or linen-based canvas and supplied with FSC certified wood stretcher bars, or if you just did a painting on a canvas. The details sell your work.
There’s a huge downside to remote working that not all employers are addressing. The need for personalisation in workspaces (not places).

When you expand your vision to think outside of the box, you’ll notice empty spaces that can have the visual aesthetics enhanced with the use of decorative wall art. Some framed, some not, with others used as props on shelves. The art is only part of the arrangements.

4 Tips to Make Better Use of Your Wall Displays (in any room in the home)
We’ve all done it. Saw an opportunity for a cracking photo, grabbed the phone, launched the camera app, pointed, and then being so far away, tapped to zoom in to get a clearer shot of something in the distance. It works great for digital photography, but try to print a photo, you’ll notice obvious snags in the quality of the print. The reason is that phones don’t yet, all have optical zoom technology. It’s coming, but until then, you need to know what you’re working with.
In commercial settings, first impressions are everything. Art plays a major role in setting the atmosphere. Just as important is the presentation of the art. That’s where picture frames come into the equation. Bigger brands also use their art displays as part of corporate branding. Smaller businesses like beauticians, dentists, bed and breakfasts, and local cafes/coffee stores use art to enhance the interior décor while helping create the atmosphere they want to invoke.
Photo frames are multipurpose. You can use them to protect and present so many types of memorabilia. The best part is that they give your home that all-important touch of personalisation. What you frame and display has meaning to you, and your family heritage, and helps remind you of good times in your past. Ultimately, frames are the presentation cases for your most important memorabilia.
