Photograph by : Michael Magill
Now-a-days, Black and White photograph is nothing more
than a color image applied with some photographic effects. But still it is a
stunning and rewarding art even for novice photographers. Sometimes the photo
which is just ignorable will surprise you when converted to black and white while
sometimes a great colorful photo may convert to a horrible work of art due to
black and white effect. It gives freedom to explore a whole new aspect of
object. The object which you never found so much interesting may become a
matter of beauty when captured in grays.
So what is so special, the magical thing that works in black and white
photographs? Well, i don't know. But still they look stunning and soulful. And when
adorned by beautiful picture frames they become truly a soulful piece of
art.
Canadian photographer-Michael Magill explored this fact
when he discovered the work of Andre Kertesz, Berenice Abbott, and Alfred
Stieglitz and some other 20th century photographers, and he decided
to move to New York to pursue a career in photography. Michael Magill is a
self-taught photographer. He has been doing his own darkroom photography and
capturing the photos of streets inside the New York City for more than 30 years.

Magill, Ed Heck, Nick paciorek, Matt Horner and Linda Calvert Jacobson. Though
some photographs may look stunning even without frames but still getting picture framing is preferable as it protects the beautiful artwork, especially
when framed by expert framers with
high quality acid free material. Picture framing will add a big plus
to the appearance of artwork when frame is chosen properly. That's why we
provide assistance to our customers in choosing proper picture frames suitable
to the artwork.
For Black and white portraits, generally we suggest white mat and black colored
frames around the photograph. Though wooden
frames or metal frames can also suite black and white photographs sometimes.
To give a traditional look, Wooden
photo frame is preferable as it has un-sharp edges and elegant look while
metal frames are suitable for modern edge look because it has sharp edges and
it looks bolder and stronger. For example a colorful photo of flowery gardens
will look good framed in wooden while a black and white photo of the giant
Eiffel tower will look good in metal frame. Most of the time customers’
confusion is about choosing the material of frame. It may be wood or may be
Metal. Our experts provide them with a satisfactory assistance that is extraction
