Wall Portrait Templates INSPIRE

Tuesday, July 27th - 2010

We are excited to add a new feature to our multi-media order presentations with wall portrait design templates. Take your portrait photography to a new level.

We love the window pane look with a single striking image. Our new layouts let our clients see what images work best for this design style right before their eyes.

Instead of hanging a single photo on a wall consider a mixed grouping of sizes clustered together.

Believe it or not, ceating wall layouts that inspire and work together is one of the funnest things we do here. We look forward to sharing this service with our future clients as we help them create art arrangements with POW.

Family Portrait Comparison Color vs. Black and White/Sepia

Saturday, July 24th - 2010

Choosing to document a family photography session in color, black and white or sepia is a question that always comes up at our photo studio. Back when we photographed using film that question had to be answered before we put film into our camera. For the last five years, since our conversion to digital photography, we can now answer that question during the order process. This is a huge boon to clients who want to visualize what a monochromatic version looks like as compared to color. We think that each modality has it’s own mood and we are fortunate to be photographers in an age of amazing technological advancement. This family provided some great options for comparison. Here is a sample family portrait taken in our outdoor portrait garden.

Here they are in their in-studio family portrait.

Beautiful family in any tone for sure. Did you find yourself instantly drawn to one of the styles? We are pleased to be able this type of comparison as one of the many unique features about our in-studio, multi-media order presentations that our clients are able to take advantage of.

Hanging Photos in Stairways

Wednesday, August 19th - 2009

Families are often looking for creative ways to hang their portraits around the home. Stairways have traditionally been used throughout the years as a way to enjoy generations of photos as you pass through your home. We are often asked about interesting ways to display photos in a stairwell. One of our favorite layouts is to group random sizes and frames together en masse to create a single work of art. You can see samples here.

We recommend trying your layout on the floor next to where you plan to be working. Then start with the middle photo, hang it and then start butting up the next picture frames to the left and right.

One of our clients, Flavia mounted her daughter Camilla’s first year series in the empty space above their landing. By hanging symetrically she was able to create a dynamic grid-like pattern that treats the multiple photos as a single art piece. It can be viewed from below upon entering the house and then the family can enjoy it on the second level too.
