Knolling and Diptych

Knolling is a unique way of taking photos of similar objects in a cool manner. The actual definition of knolling is "the process of arranging like objects in parallel or 90 degree angles as a method of organization". I personally love knolling and have seen some great examples of knolling photography on the web recently.

What's a Diptych?

1 : a 2-leaved hinged tablet folding together to protect writing on its waxed surfaces. 2 : a picture or series of pictures (such as an altarpiece) painted or carved on two hinged tablets. 3 : a work made up of two matching parts.

How to create your Diptych


1. Upload your images into your computer.  Place all the images in one folder in pictures and  Name this folder "10 Objects".
2. Choose your best image to edit.  Edit the image for exposure, tone (get rid of any yellow cast), sharpen a bit, and remove any distraction/blemishes. See if your can crop your composition to a square.
3.  Create your diptych.  Start with an image size of about 13" x 19".
4. The left side of your diptych should be your image while your right side is the text. This should be a list of the contents of your knolled photo
