Photos Of People Can Be Used Creatively
By Cedric B Georges
Photos of people is a common reason to take digital
photographs. You may go to a birthday party or any other
social event and you want to make a recording of the
event by taking a series of digital images.
Digital photography has given us ample ways to preserve
memories and specific moments in time. To photograph
your child from a baby to a full grown teenager and
beyond.
To capture those moments. When a child outgrows her
clothes. She graduates with a University degree. Starts
her own family. Takes her own images.
All can be done with a digital camera and the images
burned to a CD or your hard drive and cherished forever.
Cameras and more cameras
There are digital cameras, disposable cameras, underwater
cameras, traditional film cameras, video cameras and
many more. While each piece of new equipment seems more
complicated than the last and might cost more, the quality
continues to improve. With time, costs are coming down.
Quite honestly, I own a digital camera, a video camera
and always buy disposable film cameras. I tend to take
disposable cameras on vacations with me more often and
have found that they take amazing photos. However, when
it comes to taking photos of people, disposable cameras
don't have the zooming technology that other cameras
have.
Photo Collages
Around my house, I have collages full of photos of
people that have importance in my life. Most of the
collages contain my daughter's pictures, but I have
lots of photos of people all over my house. Many of
them have been turned into black and white photos.
One of my favorite things to do with photos of people
is to turn them into something decorative. I have plenty
of pictures in frames scattered all over the house.
I have collages everywhere. I've been known to give
collages to others with photos already placed in them.
But, I love to do different things with photos. It
is wonderful to take some photos and turn them into
holiday decorations.
Child Portraits on cards and ornaments
One December, I had my daughter get dressed in a white
jacket and pants. I also had found a shimmering gold
halo that fit her perfectly.
I took her outside when the sun was just setting, and
wrapped a string of white Christmas lights around her.
Once they were plugged in, she glowed like an angel.
It made a wonderful photo and I took that photo and
turned it into Christmas cards and ornaments for friends
and family.
Everyone commented on how wonderful of an idea that
had been. Taking creative photos of people and turning
them into other objects or decorations is a great way
to not only cherish them but to share them with others.
Sharing images online
There are several websites that allow you to send photos
of people and get them made into various items. My personal
favorite is Winkflash, but there are many to choose
from. I've gotten photo albums printed through them
for very reasonable prices and there are some other
really unique and creative choices as well.
Doing something creative and out of the ordinary with
various photos of people is such a wonderful way to
carry their smiles with you all day. Having a photo
on a coffee mug allows you to see them all day as well
as on calendars or a mouse pad.
There are so many things to do with your cherished
photos - find them and use them. It will be very worth
your time.
Capture the moment in time
Use these photos to relive the cherished memories of
specific moments in time. You can use photos and video.
Place the photos around the house, share them around
the internet with your relatives and friends. The same
with your videos. Movement and sound in video makes
it all come alive!
