changing hair colour

Problem: Meet Jennifer Horne. Oh no, she’s not the problem; she’s a very stylish girl that I did a business portrait for several months ago. The problem is that she loves to change her look, and has changed her hair colour (from blonde to brown) since the last time I photographed her, which was only 6 months ago, so it doesn’t quite warrant a new portrait.

standard artwork frame sizes

Hi There!
How was your weekend? We’ve been spending quite a bit of time lately talking to people about how to choose a standard picture frame size for artwork that they would like to hang. It’s the time of year for organizing so I guess hanging artwork goes right along with it. Now, frame sizing does vary greatly based on the style of the room and personal preference, but here’s a starting point, this is what is readily available off the shelf without the need for custom framing.
If you’re trying to figure out what size frame would be best in your space, don’t forget to review our handy artwork size chart.
What other tools and how to’s would help you with your artwork dilemmas?

I met Marco Bohr six or seven years ago when I worked for Matthew Plexman Photography. He came in to show us his imagery and I’ve never forgotten it. At the time he had just completed his Uniforms series; however on white winter days I often find myself thinking of his Icefishers series.
If you visit his site also be sure to take a peek at Observatories, a great take on popular landmarks.
