Assembly and Use of Shadowbox Frames for 3D Display of Fine Art Photographs
Written on February 24, 2010A procedure is described for assembling a shadowbox-mounted print. This is a way of displaying photographic fine art prints that seem to jump out of the box as if one were looking at it in 3D. The print is mounted on black foamboard, which is edge cut at a 45 degree angle, creating the impression that the print is floating above the black background. The print seems to gather light and project it into the room. Several examples of these shadowbox-mounted prints are shown on the Allinda Photography website at http://www.allindaphoto.com/Fine-Art-Store/Shadowbox-Images/11327655.
