Well... are you thinking 2-3 enlargements or a larger number of smaller framed photos?

I'm one who believes the art/photos are what's important and not the frames. This. the frames should all be similar, minimal and not compete with the art/photos.

There are at least two commom types of display--museum (artwork aligned in a single row) and gallery (artwork in more than one row and in a more random appearance).

If using museum display, it is recommended that the artwork/photo be installed at eye level.

Until I saw the wall with drywall, I was thinking one large piece, but realized that with an almost-15-foot space, one piece would be huge (right?), and my daughter wasn't sure the photo resolution would allow for enlargement above 36" x 24". I would prefer 2-3 enlargements. Not a gallery, I don't want that look for this space.

I may not have frames at all, maybe stretched canvas. Or minimal frames (and mats).

We could buy a big piece of art, but having one of her photographs would be a lot more meaningful, and I like the colors in them.

"I may not have frames at all, maybe stretched canvas."

Hubs and I loved gallery-wrapped canvas. We have several from Victor Ostrovsky's Metaphors of Espionage series and they are all gallery wrapped. Gallery wrapped art makes a statement as you walk into the room and see it from the side, as well as when viewed from straight on.

The issue with gallery wrapped canvas prints may be sharpness of the image. And the larger the print, the greater the challenge.

Often photographic prints on appropriate paper may give a sharper focus. But these will need to be framed with mats under plexiglass for durability.

Most print in demand printing sources can quickly tell you the maximum prtinable size, based on resolution of the file and file type.

Thus is something your daughter may already know, but at the least you will have to ask her the resolution of the file and file type before contacting a print on demand shop.

Good luck with your project!
