no answers??

i guess it has to do with picture size ..viewing distance...for spacing
and for height....eyelevel

i went to a local photo exhibition in the lowry...the photos were all over the place...so i guess it really warrants some experimenting...

height - I would suggest eye level if hanging "one-up". If two up, perhaps the gap between the frames should be at eye level?

distance apart - it depends how much wall space you have and how many frames!

1. Measure the length of the wall. = A
2. add the width of all your pictures together. =B
3. the difference is your spaces. =C

If you say have 10 pictures then you need 11 spaces =D

D / C = the space between each picture.

As for the height. Choose a height that is a suitable eyeline. Each gallery will have a different take on this. I allways use a slightly different height each time when i hang an exhibition.

If you are hanging pictures one above the other then use the same method but height wise instead of width.

I know this may seem confusing but it will come together.

If you have any further questions or need help then please let me know.
