I am new to photography so I am not very familiar with the paper real photograpers or companies use to print photographs.
I have seen the regular glossy and matte and some other kind but I would like to know if there are more kinds other than that. I am sure there are.
I keep wondering if the use of the kind of paper helps the final goal of the picture taken convey its own message, mood, or realism… Do you guys know anything about that? How can I decide on the paper if I don’t have any idea on how it will look in the end?
Any references on how I can learn about this paper matter? I would appreciate it a lot.
Thank you!

I would go to a Staples and ask them if they have samples of pictures for each kind of photopaper that they have so then you can decide which is the better photopaper to use for your own projects. That is if you don't want to experiment at home with the different kinds of photopaper out there.

There is glossy, semi-glossy and matt and textured. . You can find these all at Walmart. You can even print on Watercolor paper or other artist's paper. But usually photographic paper is best. The colors don't fade,

sorry for the stupid mistake! "... I think" of course, not "I thing ?!" :)
