Some say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but we’d argue an artful photography print—shot with the perfect aperture and light exposure or edited to perfection—is worth a lot more. But just because photo prints elicit plenty of compliments from your family and friends doesn’t mean you have to spend a small fortune on ’em.

Whether you’re in the midst of decorating your first home or eager to spruce up a stale selection with some digital prints, there are plenty of chic (and affordable!) photography prints that will give your space the refreshment that it needs. Go ahead, have a look at some of our favorite prints around. Best of all, they’re all available for $50 or less.
