Photographic sequences collage No.2

This is the second post about Photographic sequences inspirated by Eadweard Muybridge. Today step by step we will go through  a process of creating an another collage with a new technique called passe-partout.

Passe-partout is a french method of framing in which a picture, a mat, a glass, and a back (as of cardboard) are held together by strips of paper or cloth pasted over the edges.

1. The idea - the first step to create a masterpiece. 

Idea is a heart of every creation. Now, some ideas are better than others, but the essence of the idea drives everything forward. Without an inspiration the creative process cannot begin. It is crucial to prepare a solid foundation to build a big house the same as you should be brainwashed to find an ideal concept.


My idea came to my mind suddenly when I was walking down the street on Monday morning. I stopped for a moment looking at commuters driving to work. 

I took a few pictures with my phone ... as you can see down below:

2. Preparation - create something out of nothing

My photos did not seem to be anything special at first. They are bleached, blurry and as sad as every Monday when you have to come back to work after chillin during the weekend ;)

The next tool I used to improve the images was a phone app  Photoshop Express. I chose Charm4 filter and colored every photo.

 3. The realisation - how to do it?

Choose the photos with a theme to make use of the collage's storytelling power. 

Select a layout, then arrange your photos to bring your story to life.

Exibit the potential

Customise borders by Adding color, texture, and patterns to enhance the theme of your collage. 

Complete your collage with a caption, description, title, and more.
