Exhibition Layouts - Presentation DO MORE
I looked at various exhibition layouts to give myself an idea of how I should lay out my images in the space I am given.

This artist made some backgrounds to put there pieces of work on, backgrounds with a theme to match there images as well as displaying work without a themed background.
This themed background was themed around "fall" to match the imagery.
This one was "summer" themed.
I think having a themed background is a good idea but I'm not sure I would like to have a themed background as it might distract from the image itself whereas I want the persons facial expressions in my images to be noticed first.
The images on the boards appear to be centralised making it neat and organised whereas the larger images displayed on the wall are placed randomly with space around each image.
I want my images to be quite spaced out from each other and not put together centralised on a board so that each image doesnt distract another. I want each image to be looked at separately with no distraction, especially distraction of colour as my images will be in black and white.
Another I looked at:

These set of images were put in pre cut out mats/paper frames and then put on a larger piece of white card and put in a frame with a black frame.
They were mounted on the wall in a long row with equal spacing. I like the simplicity of this layout and think that having a big space between the image and the frame itself is a good way of not letting the framing distract from the image itself.
I would like to do something similar to this for my exhibition.
I found these exhibition layouts on pinterest, some of these are not realistically available to use due to funding but I liked the ideas anyway:

I've noticed from a few exhibition photos I have seen that the artist has intentionally set there work up to go with the lines/wall in the space they have been given which I think makes it flow better:
When I see the space I am using I will take this in to consideration and perhaps use this technique.
The images here have been put in to thick black frames which I think personally draws you in to the image as it is a large area of negative space around the image.

I like this simple layout with no frames due to the large size of the images. I also love how they contrast one another. My images will all be similar so won't contrast each other but I do like the large scale prints as they really draw you in rather than having to walk past and view a small print.
I found this image of a set up on pinterest and again, I love the large print. This one has been teamed up with lighting for an added effect. I am not sure if my chosen gallery place will have lighting already and it is not something easily fundable but I shal look in to this. I am not sure if I want my images in glass frames, if I do I will not use any lighting due to the reflections.
