Possible Pairings - What do You Think?

Every once in a while, a client will ask me for suggestions on which photographs to pair together. I really enjoy the process of finding just the right pair, trio, or quartet for a specific room or environment. Depending on how the photographs are paired, the overall color tones can go a variety of directions. Sometimes, simply the way the photographs are arranged on a wall can dramatically change how they play off of each other.

When working on photos, I discover that certain ones work together naturally -- usually they were shot around the same period of time or are part of a series. However, one of the most exciting things for me is to see what You pick out, and how you choose to pair or arrange my work. Sometimes You discover a combination that had never occurred to me, and I love it!

Yesterday I started working on a new promotional postcard, which essentially has four photographs on the front, and my contact info on the back -- basically a postcard sized business card. If you've ever purchased photographs from me, one of these postcards might be hanging on your fridge or bulletin board (or shuffled in a stack of papers) at this very moment.

So, here are a couple of versions of the new card-- Before I send one off to the printer, I'd love to know -- Which is your favorite? They're all similar, but different!

Thanks for your input, I hope you've enjoyed being a part of today's creative process...!

Side by Side

You'd think I'd know my photographs pretty well by now, but they still continue to surprise me. Today, in the process of inventorying prints, I discovered a new pairing that's making me really happy. I've probably seen these two together a hundred times, but today's the day their togetherness struck me...

Motel Bel Air + Skycab, no.2 = such the happy couple
