Why Create Photo Montages


Using multiple views taken with the camera, the photos are combined into one composition to create a photo montage. Creating photo montages is a great way to not only store memories for eternity, but also helps people develop skills in designing, organizing and turning photos into professional artworks.

There are plenty of ideas online on what kinds of collages to create and many software provide materials to facilitate the creation of artistic compilations.

There are many occasions we can commemorate using a this method. For instance, images from weddings, birthdays, holidays and anniversaries can be put together in one single image.

Apart from choosing from the templates available, users can also custom-make their photo montage. Using the image editing tools that are available in the software, a user will be able to crop, cut, sharpen, and brighten a photograph. For example, they can apply tilting and shadow effects to literally bring their images 'off the page'.

For aspiring photographers, creating montages helps them in thinking of what the final composition will be like while shooting, developing their sense of composition, and learning to appreciate the visual aspects of one's surroundings. Artists interested in making 2-dimensional artworks look 3-dimensional can make use of digital versions to achieve the look they want. The good thing about creating a montage with digital photos are that they can be easily edited - no need for glue, scissors, and mess! Being online also means that a masterpiece created in one part of the world can be easily sent and shared with family and friends residing at the other end of the world.
