All About Letter Photography Photo Gifts

Letter photographers have an eye for hidden letters in their surroundings and excel in capturing these on camera. Different photographers have different artistic styles some focus more on the hidden letters found in architecture, others have a more industrial focus finding letters in machinery and building materials and others look to nature for inspiration. Whatever your taste these photographed letters can be strung together to spell your name or a phrase and framed as a unique piece of art, or bought singularly and used as monograms or names on photo gift items such as photo note cards, calendars, posters or mugs.

What you should look out for when buying letter photography

  • The agony of choice! The hardest part about buying letter photography is choosing which letter photographs you like the best and look good together. To make things easier some sites offer an automated process that suggests a variety of harmonious letter compilations.
  • Before buying decide on the look you want to go for: Who are the photos for and where will they be displayed? Some looks include: shabby chic, industrial and clean lined, playful and fun.
  • Decide what you want the letter photographs for: A framed picture, poster, photo gifts or maybe you just want the photographs themselves? Not all suppliers offer these services.
  • Color vs. black and white or sepia toned – not all suppliers offer all color variations.
