on canvas | phoenix area photographer

Sometimes, I’m not such a fan of the phrase “bigger is better”. But when it comes to canvas, prints, or any art covering the walls of your house, I am a huge proponent. What you put on your walls and its size makes a statement. A very popular print size for the general public has become the 8×10. And instead of displaying an 8×10 on a desk, which is truly how a print of that size should be displayed, they’re hung on massive walls, leaving lots of empty space. To really see the image in an 8×10, you’ve got to get up and close to the photo. Why not make it easier on yourself (and your guests!) and enjoy your artwork to its fullest? If you’ve paid good money for a photo session, it only makes sense to get those photos off the disk and onto your walls!

But like anything, not all canvas providers are created equal. In their information from me, my clients all receive a document showing them examples of the difference in prints from places like Wal-Mart or Costco and my professional printer. The contrast in quality is huge. When printed correctly, photos on canvas not only look amazing when they’re blown up, but the quality is unmistakable and the result is breathtaking. Canvas images will last – they are UV coated to last generations and will not fade like a print may.

My favorite piece of art in our house is this 20×30. I had a huge wall space in our breakfast nook and decided to have one of my favorite photos of Sophia printed on canvas. She happens to be sitting at the kitchen table, which I love. As you can see, it almost looks small in this photo. But it’s huge. Someday I may end up doing a few large canvases in a cluster on this wall. But for now, I love the simplicity and statement just this one makes.

I love the detail and craftsmanship that goes into these. They’re 1 1/2 inches thick and stand out perfectly against a wall. My canvas provider seriously rocks. 

Back to the 8×10. Below are a couple examples of this 20×30 compared to what an 8×10 would look like in the same space.
