We experimented with boarders around our photographs and I decided against them. I tried a black, a medium gray and a light gray border. If I absolutely had to pick one, I would go with a thin to medium black border because it brings out the rich blacks in the photos. Generally, I think any other type of boarders besides a simple colored line are tacky and distract from the work itself.
I also tried out a few new paper types, printing the same photo on each. I tried a glossy, a matte and a textured paper. I found that with the matte and the textured papers, the blacks did not appear to be black enough. With the glossy paper, the blacks were at their blackest and were very rich. I believe that that type works best for the nature of my work because of the formal quality I am going for.
