Somewhere in the Parliament Building, London.
In reviewing the photographs in one of my folios, a friend said my “landscape” oriented images looked smaller than the “portrait” oriented images. (That’s horizontal and vertical for you folks that haven’t made the transition to the computer reference to image orientation.) It’s quite true. The vertical images do look larger than their horizontally oriented brethren.
It took me a while to come to terms with that comment. I finally remembered the images are the same size. When I process images for use in a folio, I standardize my image size because it makes creating the folio so much easier. Standardization facilitates automating many processes and reduces the amount of repetitive work I have to do. As a result, the images all have the same long side dimension. (That’s a preset option when exporting images from LightRoom). My InDesign folio template (another time saving process) has identically sized frames for the images. The only thing that changes on each page is the placement of the image/project title. Even though they occupy the same amount of space on the sheet, the vertical image “looks” larger.
