Exhibition Curation, Prints & Frames

Every detail, from the layout of the frames to the final print quality, is carefully considered to deliver a seamless viewing experience for visitors and to do justice to the photographers’ work.
Key Aspects of the Curation:
International Standards in Layout: The arrangement of the photographs follows global norms for exhibitions, with a strong focus on proper spacing. This ensures that each piece is given the space it deserves, allowing viewers to fully appreciate the intricacies of every photograph without visual clutter.
Test Prints for Perfection: Several rounds of test prints are conducted before the final prints are produced. This process guarantees that every detail, colour, and texture in the photographer’s work is accurately represented, ensuring the final prints are of the highest quality.
Framing Excellence: Special attention is given to the framing process, which plays a vital role in enhancing the visual appeal of the photographs. The framing not only complements the artwork but also adds to the overall aesthetic of the exhibition.
Larger Prints and Frames: This year, the exhibition will feature a standard print and frame size that is significantly larger than previous years, offering a more immersive experience. The larger format enhances the impact of each photograph, allowing viewers to engage with the finer details and the emotion behind each image.
Through this detailed and thoughtful curation, the JPC Annual Photo Exhibition aims to create an environment where every photograph shines, providing both the artists and viewers with a memorable and visually stunning experience.
