Do I select glossy or matte for my exhibition?

The finish you choose depends primarily on your personal preference: what will bring the image’s subject more to the fore? But, where your work will end up on the wall is also an important factor to take into account! In museums and galleries the (lighting) conditions are, of course, optimally controlled, but a large window, in e.g. an industrial space, may influence your choice. For instance, the last thing you want is for your image to get lost in the reflection of the trees outside. So, make sure you head to the venue to get a better idea of the lighting conditions.
