Photo placing and groupings

My sister was visiting me here in Salina over the weekend, and she was walking around my house and said "This photo isn't in the right place." And she was right. I've been moving photos around in hopes of making a few examples for our faithful blog readers.

First, let's start with a simulation of a possible photo grouping.


The size of the photo in the middle is a 20x30, then it's framed. I know what you're thinking out there: "Yikes! Did Karen REALLY say 20x30? That's GINORMOUS!"

Yes, it IS a big photo, but check out how well it fills the space up. The photos that flank it on the right and left are 8x10s, and they accent it nicely, but can't carry the wall by themselves.

Here are a few quick snaps of examples from my living room wall.


This photo is 16x24(honestly, it needs to be a bit bigger because of the length of the couch!), and then it's framed. It normally hangs in my dining room, but I wanted to show this in comparison to a full-sized couch.


If you don't want to get crazy with photos quite *that* big, you can opt for a 10x15 (basically an 11x14), but you gotta use at least TWO of them!

I'm continuing to work on the "back" side of our *new* web site. It has these sorts of examples, plus additional ideas for photo groupings and album ideas. Some of our clients are using it and loving it. Having a "back" side of the site works well for our clients who don't live in the same city, but allows them to view our product offerings without being in the same room. :) I also take beauty shots of the albums our clients order, and having a virtual showroom allows us to have fewer samples, being a more "green" photography studio.
