What is a photo mosaic canvas?

One large image built out of hundreds of small photographs. From across the room you see the main picture; up close you see the individual photos it is made from. It is printed on the same 285 g/m² canvas as any other canvas print.

What size do I need for a photo mosaic?

60x40cm at minimum, and larger is better. Below that the individual tiles become too small to read and the effect is lost. If your budget is under that size, a standard canvas print will look better than a small mosaic.

How many photographs do I need to supply?

A few hundred, across a range of colours and brightness. Too few and the tiles repeat visibly, which is the main thing that makes a mosaic look cheap. A full wedding gallery or a year of phone photos is usually enough.

What kind of main image works best?

One with strong contrast and clear shapes — a portrait against a plain background, a silhouette, a simple subject. Low-contrast or evenly lit images reconstruct poorly, because the mosaic works by matching the average colour of each tile.

Is this the same as a collage canvas?

No. A collage arranges your photographs in a visible grid or layout, each one readable in its own right. A mosaic uses them as pixels to build a different, larger image. The Canvas Collage Print is the product if you want the photographs themselves to be the point.

What is the canvas made of?

285 g/m² canvas, 100% polyester with a matte coating, hand-stretched over a wooden frame in either 2cm or 4cm depth.

How long does it take to arrive?

4 to 7 working days in total — 1 working day production plus 3 to 6 working days delivery.
