Would love to know what people have found is the better way to go. Would love to find a short cut by not having to mat but also don't want it to negatively impact sales. Any experience or thoughts on the subject would be helpful. One artist I noticed offered both and claimed some people liked the lower price of the unmatted work but others saw dollar signs having to add the mat and frame later so had no preference.</p></div>Is it taboo to photograph my small collage work in its mat or frame?https://www.artfairinsiders.com/forum/topics/is-it-taboo-to-photograph-my-small-collage-work-in-its-mat-or2012-01-18T02:38:59.000Z2012-01-18T02:38:59.000ZSusan Hohmanhttps://www.artfairinsiders.com/members/SusanHohman<div><p>I kind of make my collages with the mat being the crucial element that crops just what I want to see. But, the window of some of my small pieces is a mere 5' x 7', hard to zero in on just that and crop it just right. Sometimes, the art extends onto the mats and sometimes the frame, to me, is just as much part of the piece. Is it OK for those elements to be seen. Back in the day, when I had done all this before with slides and such we had to silver tape out all hints of any frame or matting elements.... What are the rules now on those elements in jury photos? ( I looked but didn't see this specifically in any other posts- forgive me if it was!)</p></div>
