Black and White Photography in Pescara: How to Choose a Print

Tra Gran Sasso e Adriatico: la città di D'Annunzio e dell'arte costiera

Black and white, seen up close

A black and white photograph is judged printed: the depth of the blacks, the range of greys and the paper change the image more than the subject does. In Pescara the institutions to start from are Museo Casa natale di Gabriele d'Annunzio, Museo delle Genti d'Abruzzo; photography exhibitions are generally temporary, so check the calendar.

What to look at in a print

  • The blacks: they should be full, not dark grey. That only shows in person or in a good reproduction.
  • The paper: matte or gloss changes the contrast; always ask what it is printed on.
  • The edition: a numbered edition states how many copies exist. The guide to editions explains how to read it.
  • The light: black and white minds the wall colour less, but fears direct sun. See the conservation guide.
