Presenting My Photo Images....

After my time in the studio I have used the blogger to present my final 22 images.  They are all of a similar size/shape and have a nice border around them and seems to be the easiest way to present my images.  They are all either been previewed on the mac and screen printed so you are able to see them all in one go and have also put them on individually so you can see them nice and clear in a row.  I have also put my pictures on a disk to be presented.  Being on a disk they could be presented on a computer or on a big projector for a group of people to see.  Being Fashion images, I would feel they would be suited to many different kinds of presentation such as.....

Media
For my theme I would think the images would fit to be presented in a fashion magazine like below.....



Magazines such as Vogue, Elle or marketing material for designer's to show their work....  That is obviously my target audience ladies and men who like the fashion industry and would be interested in seeing fashion products whether they be clothes or accessories or make up these would all be presented in different kinds of magazines.

Or on a fashion website for a designer or magazine.....




Youtube.....


This is a Louis Vuitton photoshoot with all different kinds of fashion products - I found this on YouTube and is another way to present fashion/images. 


Techniques
If a designer were to present these images in a meeting they could be presented in a portfolio book or mount card where you would decide how to place your images.... I.E 1 picture per mount or 3 and whether placed landscape/portrait. Images look nice in a portfolio book, however this is a little 'old fashioned' these days and most of the time are presented on the web or in a blog such as I have done for my themes.


Mounting.....

I have found this youtube video on how to mount pictures which is quite simple and effective.  From cutting, paste and placing your pictures is quite insightful for any beginner.....  If I were to present my images by mounting, I would probably do them A3 size and use black mount as I feel this would be more effective for the type of Fashion Shots I have done.

Photobook.....


If I could afford to get my pictures printed, I would probably have presented them in a professional photobook which you can get done at any professional printers such as jessops.  Pictures are printed on luxury premium thick paper and finished with a hardcover and a spine.

Presentation/slide show


Another way to present pictures could be using a slideshow method.... Microsoft do a powerpoint package where your pictures will periodically change on the screen - You could do it for a group situation like in the picture above or there are electronic photo frames which are quite nice which do the same thing but in something that could be put in your house.

Printing
You can go to any professional printing shop such as Jessops or Snappy Snaps to get pictures printed.... 
For my shots for each theme, the pictures could be printed on a canvas, photo card or calendar or put together a photo album or put them on a CD. 

There are other materials you can get pictures printed on such as mugs, calendars, t shirts, bags, key rings etc etc

  It's nice to print images and have them to hand or put them in a frame or mount them but this can be quite costly but many professional printers have discounts the more you print the more discount you are able to get.

I think the overall visual impact of my images look good - I feel that my pictures would be shown on a fashion website/magazine/book or TV programme.  I like the fact all of my images are easy to see on the blog and the CD and really hope that they are pleasing to the viewers of them too......
