  • Mounting and framing your photos at home is a skill worth learning. There is nothing better than seeing your photos, or a photo of someone you admire, mounted correctly in a nice frame using a backing board and a matt board. In this video, I will talk you through my process of cutting the backing board and matt board with the Logan 350-1 Compact Elite Mat Cutter and how I mount my images in a frame.
    Did you see my latest book Volcanic Aotearoa New Zealand? It tells Māori legend stories of love and war between New Zealand’s volcanoes, it is a story of how I faced my fear of volcanic activity, and it shows my journey with film photography since 2019.

    Never thought of “hinge” taping the mat board and backing board together - so obvious now I see it - makes positioning the print so much easier!

    Brought back memories of cutting mounts in college years ago. I never thought of taping the print to the backing instead of the mount as I have always had trouble getting the image straight in the mount. I found the video very useful. The images looked great once framed. Thanks for sharing. 👍

    For me in photography the print completes the creative process and the printed image represents the final work ... well done Stephen

    Thank you for the video, and your other ones as well.
    Could you give us a link to a website selling acid free tape ?
    I've spent nearly an hour looking for that, and art shops do not have any around where I live.
    :/

    • @StephenMilner
      @StephenMilner  Před 3 lety

      I got it from a local art shop in NZ called Gordon Harris.

    I know the kind of tape is important for archival purposes. What kind of tape do you recommend?

    Hi Stephen, really enjoy your videos, very informative and concise and was interested in the recent mount and frame video but can I ask what were the frames you were using they look really good quality. Thank you, Peter

      They were given to me by a good friend. They originally came from Frame Plus in NZ. Most framing suppliers should be able to supply them to you.

    so i was going to purchase the Avery A2 trimmer... but i dont think its capable of that nice bevel feature for matt board.. it's just a really nice trimmer for large stuff (big prints I assume) you think it would be a better decision to buy this trimmer instead? seems like it could do both jobs fine... Thanks! great video

    • @StephenMilner
      @StephenMilner  Před 2 lety

      Thanks 🙏 This trimmer comes with two cutting tools. One for matt board and one for backing board. The backing board cutter can be used to cut prints. Protection of the print will be required when cutting it. ✌️

      Hi, I was gifted them. They are a aluminium poster frame style. Most framing suppliers sell them.

  • @glennhunt4945
    @glennhunt4945 Před 2 lety

    How cost effective is it to mount and frame your photos compared to having it done professionally? One thing you don't mention is the cost of the glass and the type you used for your frames. I prefer using Clear glass UV70 which is somewhat non-reflective, though this adds to the cost of the frame. If you buy the frame and glass, you are really only saving money by cutting your own mats. Really liked the video as this is one of the more expensive parts of selling fine art prints.

    • @StephenMilner
      @StephenMilner  Před 2 lety

      Professional framing has a wide cost range because of the different types of glass and the many options for frames.
