Photography Question

Opinion about Signing Photos?


Is it better to sign the matte or is it OK to use a font and put your name on the print? I would like to know what people think about this.

  As an Arts and Crafts show photographer, I can state that it depends on what you are selling. For my note cards and cheaper-priced small prints - which I mass-produce - I have a scanned signature that the computer prints on the image. For the larger, more expensive, "fine art" prints, I hand-sign each one. Hand-signed prints are always preferable, when you can.
Note: If you're going to have the computer print your name, it would be better to scan in your signature rather than just using a type font.
