Wedding Album Design/Artwork

A wedding album is the final product of pre-wedding photography. In previous post, we discussed about "Wedding Album Sizes". Here in this post, lets see how we present the album's design/artwork.

Color Adjustment & Special Effects


In this artwork, both contrast were arrange together. For underwater images, rays, flares and vignette were added to demonstrate mystery as enriching underwater atmosphere.


In this artwork, blue rays were to added to create a calm & cool indoor atmosphere.


In this artwork, images were converted black & white and smoke effect was implemented to demonstrates emotions.


In this artwork, high pass are implemented to strengthen the contrast of shadow, increasing solidity of objects, presenting sharper and stronger dimensional imaging. 


In this artwork, flares and color filter were added to strengthen sun flare and sunset atmosphere.

Artwork Composition


In this artwork, demonstrates a sample of picture combination. This requires carefully planning during photography. 


In this artwork, to present sceneries, a simple layout is always implemented. 



Similar to previous artwork, with a busy background, it is best presented using clean layout to demonstrate details of the image. 

Considerations of Designers
1. Designs should fit well, avoiding the middle/folding line and cropping line.
2. Using correct composition to draw focus on the subject.
3. Choosing the correct effect/adjustments to enrich/enhance photo.
4. Carefully plan layout to hide weaknesses of the photo and strengthen its presentation.
5. Avoid repetition of subject (same view, sceneries, object) in the same artwork. 
6. Must preserve originality of the photo. 

Why simple layout were always implemented?
We think that proper presentation of the picture is important. A simple layout is always good for large printing, like a photo album, viewers easily finds the focus. A good layout encourage people to view picture in a planned sequence.
When do we need special effects?
Depends on photos taken. Also depends on designers creativity but mostly needed to strengthen the photo's yet preserves it's originality.
Do you have other creatives/artwork?
Yes, sometimes we do use floral, textures, patterns or other sceneries images to decorate the artwork if it happens to be empty. It is a trend years ago and somehow everyone is still using it now. However, we are working more on lively effects. 
Can I ask you to design what I like?
Yes! We understand that most customer has different preference and we like to fulfill those desires. Show us some samples or reference you find and we will work around it to deliver new things. Overall it helps to invent new designs right?
What other things that we need to know about designs?
Selection of photo is important. Select photos that are similar color/same scene/a story line in a page. It looks neat together in a page and somehow, it is easier for the designer to plan their designs. 
Photo may be cropped in the design to avoid repetition of other object/sceneries/repeated elements. 
Cannot avoid photo presentation in square/box (thumbnails). Photos will be merge if they are suitable.

We hope that information we provide above are useful. If you have any enquiries, you may always consult us or simply drop us an email via admin@eminentfrancetaipei.com.my.

Concept Photography

We ran into many people, telling people about concept photography. However, how much can you understand from "Concept Photography"? 

In some way, concept shooting involves some intense analysing of a “message” we want to strongly convey. So, not just simply posing in front of the camera but we are trying to deliver an abstractly idea that impresses people.



Concept shooting also involves careful consideration of our audience and how the message will touch them most powerfully. We think artistically and capturing people naturally.


Lastly, concept shooting is centered on emotions, and the telling of a story in its message. When people say romantic, we define romantic like this:


It's been a passion taking photos of great people either locally or going overseas. Its been absolutely fun being with different people, working with them nor having fun with them. As we met different couple, each helps us deliver many great photos. Its from their stories and their personality that builds the unique Concept behind great photos.
