Fine Art Photography in Terni: How to Choose a Print

Acciaio e acqua: la città industriale dell'Umbria con un'anima romantica

Fine art photography in Terni

A photograph is judged printed, not on a screen: size, paper and the depth of the blacks change an image more than you would expect. In Terni the institutions to start from are CAOS — Centro Arti Opificio Siri. Photography exhibitions are generally temporary, so it is worth checking the calendar before you go.

What makes a photograph collectable

Three facts, always: the printing technique, the paper and the edition size. An art photograph is an edition declared in advance, numbered and signed; an image with no edition is a poster, however well printed. The guide to editions and print runs explains how to read those numbers.

Colour or black and white

It is mostly a question of the room. Black and white sits with almost any wall and any furniture; colour pulls the room towards it, so it is best chosen against the tones already there. If you lean towards monochrome, there is a dedicated selection in black and white photography in Terni.

The photographs we offer

53 photographs by 8 contemporary artists, signed prints in editions of 25 with a certificate, in 40 × 30 cm and 60 × 40 cm formats, at 65–145 €. They do not depict Terni, and we do not claim they do: we offer them for how they see, not for what they show. The photography price guide compares them by format.

Keeping it well

Direct sunlight and damp are the two enemies of any print. The practical rules are in the conservation guide.
