Choosing your portrait poster

Which portrait poster should you choose?

The face comes in several registers, and each tells a different thing:

  • Black and white portrait: bare features, marked contrast, timeless.
  • Portrait of a woman: elegance, a gaze, light settled on the features.
  • Family portrait: generations gathered, period dress or a classic pose.
  • Self-portrait: artists looking at themselves, often in black and white.
  • Portrait from the cinema: figures and scenes taken from film posters.
  • Face in close-up: a tight frame, the matter of skin, expression alone.

The filters on the left narrow things down by dominant colour, by style and by mood.

Where should you hang a portrait poster?

  • Living room: a face in a large size, alone, above the sofa.
  • Bedroom: a black and white portrait, settling, facing the bed.
  • Entrance: a family portrait that welcomes as you come up the stairs.
  • Office: a self-portrait or a film figure, at eye level.
  • Hallway: a series of three faces by the same artist, in the same size.

Tip: a gaze turned towards the inside of the room makes the space live better than a gaze that escapes towards the wall.

Portrait in colour or in black and white?

  • Black and white isolates the line and the expression, without the wall colour competing.
  • Colour brings the portrait closer to photography and goes with a room that already has colour.
  • On a pale wall both hold; on a dark wall, black and white stands out more.
  • The 30x40 suits a single face, the 50x70 a family portrait or a wider scene.

Poster, print or picture: what is the difference?

All three words mean the same thing here: a printed image that you hang on the wall. We say poster because we print on photo paper, never on canvas. The same image is also available on a metal plate, in several sizes.

  • With frame: black, white or light oak, assembled and ready to hang.
  • Without frame: the sheet alone, to slide into the frame you already have.
