The gods of the aspect ratio have it in for photographers, but to not mix them in an exhibit is great advice. I’ve started noticing, since you mentioned it, how distracting it can be when I go to exhibits or open a photography book. And I’ve recently noticed that when museums put on photography exhibits, they often keep the portrait and the landscape prints segregated, because the curators understand this.
I follow most of this. iPhone is vertical and a 4x5 ratio. In one of my series with a vertical and others horizontal I used Lightroom to create the horizontal and in fact became a better image. Surprisingly.
But to take 22x17 size for most photos (.77). and then for the pan to be 44x22 is a .5 or square. I think I don’t get it.
Actually the ratio becomes an issue if a series is taken with a Canon (2:3) and also some with Fuji (4/5) so including these is also a problem if one uses a matte board. So I’d love to understand better how to approach multiples when hanging.
Don't all photographers shoot phone pictures horizontally as default? I never considered that a phone camera was naturally vertical. Or maybe it is just old guys who started taking pictures with film cameras who see phone cameras as horizontal.

Hope this makes sense.
