Creating a Photo Collage

By Naomi Weinstein

Completing a photo shoot with Dini is just the beginning. The next step in the process of documenting your family is selecting which shots to print, in what sizes, and where to hang them in your home. I’m often asked to assist my interior design clients in mapping out their photos in a way which showcases the pictures as well as complements their homes.

Stacey had done several photo shoots with Dini over the past few years but had yet to hang anything on the wall. With a stack of prints we set out to create an eclectic collage which would best capture her family.

We began by mapping out an arrangement of photos using different size prints with space to add non-photo decorative elements. With our prints and layout in hand we headed to the store to choose frames.

Using a combination of custom and off-the-shelf frames we assembled a scheme with a variety of styles in unifying color tones.

Recreating the sketched layout on the wall took some effort but the results were worthwhile

To add to the sense of whimsy, we placed two 8×10 photos in “frameless” frames and hung them within a larger frame. The celery wall color peaks through in place of a matte.

Decorative accents add a personal touch to the scheme.

Layering frames, matte, and fillets creates a bridge between the photo and the wall.

Thank you Naomi for sharing your insight on this.

Please help support Ohr V’Daas by coming to the event, Tuesday, November 8, you will not be disappointed (hint: come hungry).

If you can’t make it you can order tickets online.

Ohr V’daas is a Special Ed school in Rockland County that services children with special needs.  They are incredibly devoted to each and every child and they would like to be able to accept more students but their building is too small.  They are desparately in need of a new building and since they are a religious school they can only get minimal funding so proceeds from events like the Chinese Auction directly impact each child.

With facebook updates, I don’t get to update the blog much until I get some anxious emails and phone calls – but I will try to be present here more often!!!

I’m so excited to share a new way to enjoy, remember and cherish your photo session.

PHOTOCINEMA

Taking the portrait session to a whole new level.

I’ve partnered with Detti Siklos of BSD Films once again.  Some of you might remember the video of me at work.
Now we are ready to offer you a modern, fresh version of your photo session.

This PHOTOCINEMA will bring alive what is captured by photo.  Set to music, it’s a great way to record your child taking her first steps or record your 3 year old son before he gets his haircut or chronicle your children’s interaction.

To celebrate the launch of this new exciting product we are offering a complimentary photo and photocinema session to one of you!

It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.

1 – ‘Like’ – Dini Groner Photography on Facebook

2 – ‘Like’ BSD Films on Facebook

3 – Share this link on your Facebook wall (option is on the bottom).

It’s that easy!

Deadline is July 31.  Winner will be chosen at random using a lottery method – everyone has a chance!

There is nothing like the gorgeous outdoors as a background for the family portraits.

There are some terrific locations that I love to use and I’m always looking for new exciting places.

Here we are at a train station.

Tamar & Daniel are ready to see the world.

I can feel the winds change, ‘the times they are a-changing’, to quote Bob Dylan

And since the song is in my head, here are the words, but whatever you want to say about Dylan, he is a poet first.

Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don’t criticize
What you can’t understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is
Rapidly agin’
Please get out of the new one
If you can’t lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin’.

Denial will not help me with this one, it’s happening whether I like it or not.

I scheduled a photo session for my family, to record us as we are NOW, before the shifting of the family unit as we know it today.

That is what photography mean to me, preserving the today for tomorrow.

Here is a share from the session with Stephanie Badini.

It was a great experience being on the other side of the lens
