​PHOTOGRAPHER’S INFO AND SIGNATURE ON MAT
  • There is no standard convention for signing photographs, framed or not. Typically, the photographer’s signature is placed at the bottom right corner.  The signature may be on the print, or pencilled on the margin between the print and the mat, or on the mat itself. Adding the year that the image was taken is optional. For limited edition prints, this information would be added next to the signature.
