What background color for a photography book?
Here's what I'm up to. I'm in the processing of making a photography book for myself of some of my favorite photos. I am contemplating which color to use as my background and find reasons to go either way. So rather than spending any more time on this, I thought I would ask here.In your personal opinion, which would make a better background. Black or White?
If you have any suggestions or tips, I'm open for ideas. Thanks
Mock some pages up in Photoshop or something, and see what looks best to you.
edit: I'm probably still reeling from the chastising I took 20 years ago in Photography 101 when I dared mount my photos on black matboard.
