Here are some things to think about. There are so many styles and types of framing options available today. Choices include mosaic, stone, gilded wood, sterling silver, frameless glass, plexiglass, brass, chrome, polished semiprecious stones, inlaid wood, pierced tin, ceramic, painted porcelain, plaster and plastic. If you are displaying only one large photograph, pick a frame that will not only enhance the image but be strong enough to stand on its own. When you group photographs, the result will be an impressive collection of your personal history.
Groups work well.
Photo shops can convert your color prints into sepia tones. And many print shops and copy centers can also convert your photographs to different sizes, which can give you more flexibility in your framing choices.
