Light, humidity, glass cleaning and storage guidance for keeping a portrait beautiful over time. This studio guide is written to help you make a considered decision before ordering, using the same questions we apply during photograph review and artwork preparation.
Control light and moisture
Keep framed art away from prolonged direct sunlight, condensation and rooms with large humidity changes.
Clean carefully
Dust the frame with a dry soft cloth. Apply glass cleaner to the cloth rather than spraying near the frame or artwork.
Keep the digital master
Store the original high-resolution file in two locations so a future replacement print remains possible.
A simple next step
Collect two or three photographs and view them at full size. Note the image with the clearest eyes, most familiar expression and fewest hidden features. If you are still uncertain, our studio can review the options before payment.
