Just found a pretty interesting article on PhotoCritic.org on why the author prefers a 3:2 proportion for his images.
The argument is that a 3:2 proportion makes for a photo that looks like, well, a photo. To me that’s a reason to stay away from 3:2 whenever possible. Digital imaging makes it easy to print in almost any size, and I like that freedom.
Although I do find myself coming back to certain proportions more than others. Square as always been a popular print proportion for me. And for some reason 12×24″ prints work well for me, but it’s the size not the proportion. A 4×8″ doesn’t have the same effect.
