Quick Links

Bring nature into your home with confidence and clarity.

Purchasing fine art photography should be as exciting and inspiring as the image itself. Whether you're buying your first wildlife print or building a personal gallery, this guide will help you choose the right size, material, and display style to best showcase your favorite piece from Dave Miller.

Choose the Right Size for Your Space

Getting the proportions right makes all the difference. Use these quick tips to decide:

Above Furniture

Recommended size: 30x40" or larger
Choose landscape orientation for horizontal spaces
Visual Tip: The print should span about ⅔ the width of the furniture below it

Gallery Wall or Multi-Print Display

Recommended size: 16x20" or 20x30"
Group 3–5 prints with similar tones, themes, or framing
Visual Tip: Use consistent spacing and align edges for balance

Still Not Sure? Ask These Questions:

Is this space formal or relaxed? → Choose framing and material to match.
Do I want the image to pop or blend in? → Metal/acrylic for bold, canvas/paper for soft.
What’s my lighting like? → Acrylic and metal shine in bright rooms; matte works best in softer light.
