| Have you ever considered the dramatic, immediate and confident tone that a triptych can bring to a large wall in your home?Yes, large walls require poster-size, photo enlargements and canvases that are to a like scale. Rows of framed 8 X 12 photo frames simply do not make the substantial impact that a major wall in a modern home invites. (Anyway, they become subsumed in all the framing, and consequent dust, let alone blurred resolution).When helping clients to set a personal theme or mood in the entry of their home, so often an exciting void, which can, however, leave the lower level rather meek unless space is re-directed to vertical spans, I often encourage them to select from recent favourite photographs of nature and have them re-sized expertly.The essential, satisfying and creative spark comes in having a photo of your favourite deserted beach, or bush path and undergrowth, or sky and cloud shot taken from an airplane window, accurately enlarged using a full, rich colour gamut. Giantprint Pty.Ltd. offers such services and clients can be assured that only high-end materials and techniques are employed. Indeed, it is possible to choose to have the photograph/s transferred to archival paper or to canvas.The notion of displaying three ‘up and down’ photographs which reveal great depth of field by the use of three panels is a refreshing approach to design. Just ensure that each section of your triptych hung around 10 to 12 cm from the edge of the next and that the two sections on the sides are equidistant from the sides of the wall you are working on. Such a display still allows for the placement of a cantilevered storage unit below which does not detract from the triptych or vice versa.So this technique will enrich and display your appreciation of nature shots while the presentation emphasises fresh spatial relationships. I would suggest, from experience, that triptych treatment is not suitable for photographs which include human forms. Nevertheless use of the elegant poster frames available at giantprint.com.au make the hanging of each element a pleasure and ensures that you can refresh the content of your display seasonally if you wish.Good luck with your project!Alyson Emminshttp://www.giantprint.com.au |
