Digital BW, The Print

It's sort of "light to taste" more or less. 50-75W spots from about a 
meter away would be plenty I suspect. Of more importance will be the 
angle. Need to keep the lights at relatively steep angles (30 degrees or 
so) so you don't reflect into people's eyes, while not making the 
shadows the frame throws too big.

Frames will be up to 30" x 20" or 750 x 500mm. I'm thnking there is a sweet spot from 45" to 80" or 1m10cm to 2m.
