For one with an experienced eye it is quite easy to spot a body of work on
display, which is done with different cameras, as the subtle aspects of the
photographs which bind the collection together are not unified. The worst
thing to do in my opinion is to try to edit the ratio of the photograph's
either with the enlarger of a knife.
If you prefer to work with images one at a time, that's good for you.
I do tend to think in terms of large bodies of photographs and how they will
fit together, but I'm not a commercial photographer I am coming from a fine
art background.

Marvin.

I try to take each picture one at a time. I had a bunch of stuff on a wall
recently, and I was pleased with myself for having matching frames and
matting. But they were all basically 16x20 cut to either 4:5 or 2:3, and
frankly, it was a little boring. I want to do 20X24 based prints, but I
think I should probably start making 11x14's again too. I will continue to
try to make each picture look as good as I can, regardless of which camera
I'm using, and let the catalog take care of itself

One of the motivations for getting the "correct" ratio, is that if you
continually change cameras (like me), you end up with a catalogue of work
that doesn't fit together very well. You perhaps will have beautiful 6 X 6
portraits and then 2.4 x 3.6 portraits done with a nice lens such as a
summicron 90.
Though I have been unable to live up to my own ideal, it is good to use as
few cameras as possible, so I would argue against the many ratio's are good
hypothesis.
