Moose,
Museums and galleries display photographs the same way on their walls that
I display them on my website. Its been this way for a century, and I doubt
the art world will change that tradition anytime soon. Showing that way on
my website gives the buyers of my work a true representation of how the
image will look framed and matted.
Magnum’s website displays their members’ work this way, as does the Museum
of Modern Art’s website. The Metropolitan Museum of Art uses a very
slightly subdued white background to display works from their collection
online (level 251 instead of 255).
