Print Sizes & Aspect Ratios
Choosing the Right Print Size:
Most photographs offered by Paul Lindquist Photography are captured using professional cameras that produce images in a 3:2 aspect ratio, the same proportions used by traditional 35mm film and many modern professional camera systems. This ratio provides a balanced, natural composition and allows images to be printed in a variety of standard sizes without cropping.
Common 3:2 print sizes include:
Good For
Desk, Shelf
Small wall
Standard display
Statement piece
Large feature wall
Premium display
Size
8” x 12”
12” x 18”
16” x 24”
20” x 30”
24” x 36”
30” x 45”
These sizes preserve the original composition exactly as it was photographed.
Some Images May Vary:
Panoramic photographs, square compositions, and certain artist crops may require alternative dimensions to best showcase the image. When this occurs, the available print sizes will be adjusted to maintain the integrity of the photograph and avoid unnecessary cropping.
If you have a specific size requirement for your home, office, or display space, please inquire. Custom sizing may be available for many images, and I am happy to help determine the best print dimensions for your intended display location.
