How To Display Images

Contemporary Approach:

The contemporary approach to displaying images is very naturalistic, and is the method used the most often. This is simply displaying images in a frame, window mount or next to each other. The simplistic method of framing allows the imagery to be shown off and the meaning of the photographs to clearly be displayed. This method should be used for more naturalistic photographs and any high quality images which showcase good camera skills and successful editing technique.

Sculpture:

Using sculpture to display our photographs is the opposite to the contemporary approach. This his when we use images to sculpt a bigger image or object. The method is much more hands on and showcases our photographs in a new and different way. This method can be considered more abstract but, showcases imagery in a unique way. Sculpture is most appropriate when wanting to display abstract images, images that work together and photographs which can be used to display the meaning in a different way.

Diptych/ Two Frames:

The diptych method is when you display two images next to each other, which usually work well together or juxtapose one another to convey an overall meaning to the two images. The method of displaying these images is very much taking the contemporary route, so the imagery and framings is more naturalistic.

Triptych/ Three Frames:

The triptych method is when you display three images next to each other, these photographs usually work well together or juxtapose one another to convey an overall meaning to the two images. The method of displaying these images is very much taking the contemporary route, so the imagery and framings is more naturalistic.

Grid:

This method of framing is when we display multiple images together, as these images are apart of a photo series, work well together or juxtapose each other to convey an overall meaning to the two images. The method of displaying these images is very much taking the contemporary route, so the imagery and framings is more naturalistic.

Eclectic:

The Eclectic method of displaying is when we display multiple images of different sizes, shapes (landscape and portrait) in a random (spread out and different locations) manner in order to present a series of images. Usually these images are apart of a photo series, work well together or juxtapose each other to convey an overall meaning to the two images. The method of displaying these images is very much taking more of an abstract route to framing due to distorted and unorganised layout.
