To create a really good canvas print from your photographs you first need to think about the type of image you are going to use and what type of shape canvas you are going to produce. Landscape or portrait formats are usually the format digital pictures are produced in so pictures can readily be produced as canvas prints in this format. Little editing is usually needed to prepare a print for printing. Many subjects work well in this style, from landscapes to family groups or intimate portraits, However, often by cropping the image to focus on the key elements and remove unnecessary or distracting elements you can create a more powerful image. This can mean you create a square picture rather than an oblong one. Square formats work particularly well if you have a set of related images to print. Long thin panorama prints work well for cityscapes and landscapes and can be great for more abstract ideas. Another approach is to take a single image and split it into a set of smaller canvases that together make up one complete image. This works well for natural forms and some landscape or sunset shots can look stunning in this format.
