How is best to present photos on a budget for a small exhibition?

Our take

Presenting photos on a budget for a small exhibition can be a rewarding and creative endeavor, especially when showcasing historical images like the glass slides from the 1940s. To balance cost and aesthetic appeal, consider using foam board mounts or simple frames, which offer a polished look without straining the budget. Additionally, explore alternatives such as hanging images with clips or using string lights for a dynamic display.

Hi!

I run a small business where I digitise film, slides etc.

I have a recent client where I scanned glass slides from we think around the 1940’s that show how where we live used to look.

It was a really cool project and he now wants to do an exhibition of the scans I did and he wants me to put together the pieces for him, but its not like an exhibition to sell the images, just a non-profit display for the public.

I was wondering what the best way to present them would be in your opinion? He’s not got the largest budget (he is getting funding hopefully but a large amount will be from his pocket from the sounds of it- although that could change)

He discussed getting them on canvases but these can be expensive, I have experience mounting images on foam boards etc and framing images, but I just want an opinion on what people think is best!

Thank you!
