Imagining my images in a gallery

Once I had my final images I began to think I about the way the series could be displayed, I decided to use my love for Photoshop to do something I had never done before and create some mock gallery exhibitions involving my own work.

First I created mock ups of what the single images would look like in a gallery environment using royalty free images such as the example below.

I then used a mixture of Topaz Labs and Photoshop to create a realistic interpretation of what my series would look like in a gallery.





To create this I duplicated the main image then used a mask to separate the wall from the foreground of the image. I then placed my own images inside the existing frames in the shot.



For my final gallery mock up I wanted the image to have more going on to convince the viewer they are seeing an actual image of my work in a gallery. I think the reflections off the marble floor helps to sell the illusion.




In the future I hope to have my work exhibited in galleries and different spaces. The technique I have used here could be applied to make informed decisions on how my work is displayed, therefore saving crucial time in the lead up to future exhibitions.
