Collage – many photos, one frame.

Which photos suit a collage

A collage suits the moments one photo cannot hold: the trip, the summer, the first year, the birthday, the dog from puppy to today. Two to sixteen photos in one frame — in a grid with a slim line between them, or scattered like polaroids with a date or a short caption under each.

Choose photos that sit well together — similar light, the same period or the same people — and put the strongest in the largest cell. Portrait and landscape photos can be mixed; each cell is cropped individually and you can move and zoom every photo. The composer warns you if a photo is too small for its cell.

Frame and mat: oak, black, white or walnut, with a white, ivory or black mat. The slim line between the photos and the optional mat at the edges make the collage one quiet piece rather than many framed photos side by side.

Collage, mosaic or a single image?

Five ways onto the wall — each with its own strengths.

Collage

Several photos in one frame, each visible on its own. That is this page.

Photo mosaic

A whole photo set — dozens or hundreds of photos — assembled into one image in which every tile is a photograph. See mosaics.

Framed print

A single photograph in a frame with or without a mat, in the same frame finishes. See framed prints.

Canvas or paper

A single image on canvas — canvas prints — or a photo print on paper cut to measure for a frame of your own.

How the collage is made

The collage is composed at full print resolution the moment you finish arranging it — what you see on screen is what we print, lines, mat and captions included. It is printed on fine-art paper in Reykjavík, set in the frame by hand and shipped well protected with Dropp to a pickup point of your choice, typically 3–6 working days after ordering.
