The popularity of photo montage has increased exponentially over the years. What started off as a hobbyist interest has since snowballed into an industry worth US$40 million.
Not only does it present the ideal opportunity to show off a great selection of your favorite photographs but it can also tell the story of a single experience or a series of events. These kind of montages can be used to commemorate a lifetime of togetherness like a marriage but are also well suited to commemorate significant events like birthdays and baptisms. It is not uncommon to see photo montages like this in an office, in a store honoring employees, or even in the home to share the moments spent together.
One good thing about photo montages is its ability to tell a story with the number of pictures there are on a single montage. Many times, a memory or an idea cannot be adequately represented using just one or two photographs. Having a combination of photographs and designs give a well rounded feel to the project and expresses more angles to the story. Besides using more photographs, a story can be told via a photo montage if you use different designs and mediums. For instance, an assortment of prints or designs gives a different feel to the whole project. Using different mediums like canvas or rayon would also portray it in a different angle.
There are certain memories in your life that cannot be told in words. As the saying goes “a picture speaks a thousand words”, the best way to freeze that special moment is through photographs and images. Having a photo montage will remind you of the happy moments elicited by the photographs.
So for grandpa and grandma’s next wedding anniversary, try creating a photo montage narrating the special times in their lives and the wonderful memories coming with it. It is bound to bring many forgotten moments to live.
