Decorating With High Key – Fine Art Portraits!

Most of the Old Masters agree that High Key Portraits should always be done on a white background with light colored or white clothing. I also agree on the white background, but don't always agree on the light colored clothing. I believe a nice high key portrait can be done in any color clothing so long as it is done in a classic black and white.

Now that's not to say that High Key Portraits in color cant be just as beautiful, but it's my personal opinion that black and white always works better for something that you would like to have hanging in your home, and that will also correspond with the rest of your home furnishings.

A Fine Art black and white photo is perfect for decorating your home, whether it's above the couch, in the den, bedroom or bath. Fine Art black and whites go with any interior decorations. Whatever your color scheme is... a beautiful black and white will go perfectly. However, you can also customize your print with a little splash of color to match any room, and to give it that little extra pop!

I like to think I have an artsy eye for portraits, and hopefully it shows in my images. I think the bedroom is a great place to show off and enjoy your glamor and boudoir images, as well as maternity art. Your artistic photo's don't have to be hidden away in the bedroom though... I've actually seen maternity art hanging on a wall behind a dining room table that was absolutely beautiful! Studio nudes are also perfect for any room... when tastefully done.

Wall clusters are another great way to decorate with Fine Art black and whites... over the couch, along the stair case, or over the mantel, wall clusters are perfect for showing off family portraits! Wall clusters are done either on canvas or stand out mounts and come ready to hang... excellent! No worries about framing, or mounting hooks... just a small nail or screw and your ready to go!






Take my advice... when it comes to displaying images in your home Fine Art Black and Whites are perfect! Oh... and the Bigger... the Better! :)
