About vintage photography
Grain, soft contrast and period detail give vintage photographs a character that modern images rarely have. Fine art photography values the photographer’s vision as much as the subject in front of the lens. The original dates from 1952. Vintage prints preserve the look of the film stocks, papers and printing methods of their time. Fine art photography is made to be displayed and contemplated, like a painting. A fine art photograph is composed, printed and displayed with the same care as a painting.
Styling this vintage photograph
Black-and-white tones give this vintage photograph a moody character that holds a room. Hang it at eye level, about 57 inches (145 cm) to its centre; 18×24″ is a versatile size for most walls. The monochrome tones of this vintage photograph sit happily with warm or cool interiors alike; try a slim black frame with a generous white mat. This vintage photograph also anchors a gallery wall well; surround it with smaller black-and-white pieces at even 2–3 inch gaps. Keep this vintage photograph out of strong direct sunlight to protect its colours.
