Pittsburgh Custom Framing
In previous articles we’ve talked a lot about digital images. Today we’re going to talk about your physical photos, whether it’s to hang up in the office or your house. Chances are, if you’re hanging a picture, it’s either one of your favorites or has sentimental value. Getting your photo custom framed can not only finish off the photo as a piece of artwork, but it can help preserve it for years to come. For the visual effect, the frames purpose is to complete your photo, drawing the eye to it, without distracting from it. We highly recommend our downtown Pittsburgh Custom Framing.
.At first glance, a room full of frame corners, with hundreds of colors, shapes, textures, and feels might seem super intimidating. Don’t worry! A professional custom framer will help you out! They can look at your photo and almost immediately narrow down a couple of frames that will work best for you. There will be some other materials to consider as well, such as the mat and mounting system. The mat is a thin piece of material inside the frame which separates the art from the glass. It can also serve a as decoration, depending which you choose to go with. This will come along with recommendations from your framer.
Preserve! You love your photo! You want to save it for years to come, right? The way to do that is to learn how to properly preserve it – everything from mounting it correctly to storing it correctly. Framers take this responsibility seriously, as they should, and you choose not to use their recommenced preservation materials you may even be asked to sign a waiver releasing them from any responsibility for damage that may happen over the years.
Conversation With The Framer They may start by also asking some administrative questions to get started – such as your budget or timeframe. As we all know custom framing can get a little pricy so it’s important to be on the same page from the beginning.
Because the photo’s frame is as much for decoration as it is preservation, the framer will need to know a little more about you, and the location of the photo – as well as see the photo themselves if possible. The may ask you the coloring and personality of the room it will be hanging in. They will be particularly interested about the wall it will be mounted on, in order to find the perfect mounting material for you. Depending on your response, they may need special mounting equipment to help it stay secure (may increase the total price).
Don’t be afraid to discuss anything specific you are looking for in terms of design. Remember, not everything is possible depending on the wall surface and sort of mounting your looking for – but most should be! You’re the customer and our professional framers are here to help you achieve whatever look you are aiming for.

We all have certain friends we’d do anything for. Unasked. Even if it’s a “job” that normally no one could pay us enough to do.I‘ve told everyone for years how I hate weddings (nothing against marriage), and that’s why that’s not my branch of photography.But I loved every minute of it on Saturday, despite 100+ degree heat in Daytona. doing my best to capture their day, and being a close part of it as the friend-photographer.Thanks guys (even though neither of you are on the socials) for having fun with me.But to everyone else…. It’s still a no. 😂Music is “Caliente Flow” by White_Records. pixabay.com

Family photo! Of course I brought a strobe and modifier on vacation. When your VRBO has a view like that, you need to use it. But I’m not a “make everyone where the same clothes” for it. Just real.Oh, and I caught my brother up on the new AI Generative Fill in Photoshop… he and my nephew had fun with it in the second photo. (We are not a cat family. 😆)And then just fun at Biltmore.

I love doing team shots on locations. Especially in unique locations.I wanted to capture the uniqueness of their office location, on the Monongahela. But the best location was on the barge mooring across a narrow grated catwalk. We had to keep it simple with our lighting, doing our best to over-power the bright sun as much as possible, using just one light source because it was windy! (No equipment was damaged, which is much better than the last time I shot on the river.)Assistant: @dan_jenworleyphotography#pittsburgh team photos

Ever use a confetti canon before? Well, we quickly discovered they are a little risky to shoot off in a small studio, when you have sprinkler heads above you. And yikes, are they loud!So we changed the idea- let’s shoot everyone individually. And instead of everyone shooting the canon, have people throw the confetti (which came out of our first canon) instead. Or pretend someone’s shooting it, and another person throws it off camera toward them.So here’s the composited photo, with the individual shots. #pittsburghphotographer
