Jazz vocal portraiture splits cleanly along that line. Stage shots are mid-song, microphone in frame, eyes closed, light coming from a single overhead source, and they carry noise and movement. Studio and off-stage portraits are quiet, composed, often shot in soft window light, and they carry stillness. Both are sold under the same heading, and buyers who have not decided which they are after tend to order the one with the better thumbnail and find it does not fit the room. The answer usually depends on the room's job. A living room where people talk takes the quiet portrait better, because a picture of somebody mid-note competes with the conversation happening under it. A music room, a bar corner, a hallway, a room with a record player in it — those take the stage shot, and the noise in the image becomes part of the point. Second question: monochrome, or one of the colourised and painted treatments. Original black and white sits with almost any palette and looks like a document. Colourised versions are warmer and easier to live with, but they belong to now rather than to then, and they date faster. Third, and least glamorous: how much wall is actually free. Portraits need margin. A face pushed close to a door frame or a shelf edge reads as an accident, however good the photograph is. Once those are settled, do one physical check. Mark the top corners of the intended piece on the wall with low-tack tape and open every door in the room. If a door swings into the tape, move the picture before you order rather than after.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/www.photo4sure.com\/collections\/billie-holiday-wall-art.oembed","provider":"photo4sure","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
