Why I make BIG ASS prints

http://froknowsphoto.com/why-i-make-b...

As of late it seems that people have forgotten how amazing BIG ASS PRINTS can look. A lot of people and businesses have moved away from real photographic prints to LCD TVs that hang on the wall to show images. This is sad, images were mean to be printed big and enjoyed opposed to on a LCD screen where your vertical images are given no justice.

I feel that big prints show a quality to the work that a photographer is doing. They make an impression, a lasting impression that says that your images are strong enough to be printed this large.

I think printing large is a testament to understanding photography and how to process your images. Many people forget how important processing is, photography does not stop when you press the button, it stops after you add your style to the image. Your editing is just as important and sometimes more important than getting your settings right.

If you have never printed large I think you should give it a shot. There are a ton of places that print inexpensive poster prints and as you know AdroamaPix.com is one of those. But like everything else just because its less expensive does not mean its the right fit for you. I personally get my big ass prints done at TaylorPhoto.com and they are dam expensive. The prints I am talking about are the ones larger than 20x30 which most online places do not offer.

The moral of the story is don't forget about printing your work. Your images don't want to be relegated to your iphone, ipad, computer or tv screen in an office. They want to be printed big for the world to see that you create amazing quality work.

What is the biggest print I can make with a 16MP camera?

[JaredPolin]

MP does not matter, quality exposures and images are what matter.

HAI JARED why is Nikon taking OUT a filter on the d800e and charges more for the camera it makes no sense to me.

[JaredPolin]

I know what your saying but the way I look at it is they have to make less and its not like they take them out from the other finished ones. I think they do a different run and because there are less they charge more.

How do you make sure that your work on the computer looks the same on print?

[Cliff Lemar]

I've been makeing big ass prints for years and nothing ever matches the expression I see on people's faces when they see the prints as opposed to seeing it on a monitor! You're 100% correct! Huge Prints Rock!

THANKS FOR THE SUBSCRIBE MR FRO.

We were shooting swimsuit covers back in the day (10+ years ago) with 3 MP first gen digital SLRs, so you will be fine with 16 mp going very big - a spectacle sized print with close up viewing distance. More at the Fotobro channel.

[TheOriginalFotobro]

And people are using A4 / Magazine cover sized prints just like they were 30 years ago, but I guess you would know that Mr Guru Fro.

[TheOriginalFotobro]

EVERYONE IS NOT GOING AROUND WITH AN IPAD, PEOPLE IN THE BIZ ARE USING PRINTS JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS, SEND YOUR CHECK TO THE FOTOBRO THANKS BYE!

BECAUSE YOURE A BIG A55?

[Jack Ren]

But by all means you can go bigger, but your print will start to lose quality after that.

[width in pixels] / [print pixels per inch] = [print width in inches]

[height in pixels] / [print pixels per inch] = [print height in inches]

Hi Jared, What did you pay for one of those big ass prints?
