Exploring Photo Artistry Through<br />
Creative Collages<br />
by Fairlie Atkinson<br />
If you’re a closet photo hoarder unable to decide<br />
what to keep and what to discard, maybe trying a<br />
photo collage is the way to go. You might want to try<br />
a few different collage methods, which I outline in this<br />
article, along with the software to help you achieve<br />
this.<br />
Why collages? I often use them to display a series of<br />
related events or a collection of work to avoid posting<br />
multiple images on social media. I also find that<br />
collages are a nice way to explore mixed media, and<br />
you might decide to go the extra step in printing your<br />
photos and exploring ways of using them with paint,<br />
dye or other mediums.<br />
So how do you determine what goes into a collage<br />
and what doesn’t? Start with a theme or a related<br />
set of images. A simple collage will show a series<br />
of images, usually of the same subject, taken from<br />
different angles, but you might opt to start with<br />
something more creative like a colour themed<br />
collage.<br />
