Trees, forests and woods – a unique subject for artistic photography

Have you ever wondered what tree photography is all about? It’s a fascinating genre that captures various moods and messages through different styles and techniques. I’d love to show you the unique characteristics of various forests and trees photos in my gallery!

Photo printing materials

The best way to showcase a photograph is to print it, which makes it a true work of art. Different materials can also enhance a tree or photo’s look by affecting colour, contrast, sharpness and texture. Let’s take a look at the characteristics of different printing materials.

• Wood Prints are natural and organic, ideal for a rustic atmosphere. Photos transferred to maple boards are best for warm, earthy photos.
• Canvas Prints: Classic and artistic, adding depth with photos printed on stretched canvas, ideal for soft, light photos.
• Metal prints: Modern and sleek, enhancing brightness and contrast, printed on aluminium, perfect for vibrant photos.
• Acrylic prints: Sophisticated with a glossy, dimensional effect, printed on paper between acrylic sheets, great for clear, crisp tones.
• Paper prints: Simple and versatile, available in a range of finishes and sizes, adaptable to any photo tone or style.

Wood prints

To ensure the longevity of your tree photo prints, keep the following tips in mind:

• Avoid direct sunlight and extreme temperatures: Direct sunlight and high temperatures can cause prints to fade, warp, crack or peel.
• Ideal conditions: Display your prints in areas with moderate, consistent temperatures and humidity. Choose locations with diffused, indirect light.
• Protective measures: If you frame my photos yourself, use UV-resistant glass, frames and matting to protect your prints from harsh conditions.
• Handle prints: Always handle your prints carefully to prevent damage. Avoid bending, folding or directly touching them with your fingers or fingernails.
