Make Your Own: Photo Print Montage Inspired by Hana’works and want to make a photo montage of your own? Let us show you how! For this project, you”l be learning how to make a simple 4-shot photo montage of a person. So get your “Model” ready and follow these easy steps.

WHAT YOU NEED

Any Canon digital camera
A PIXMA photo printer
Photo paper
A willing model
Sticky tape

SHOOTING

Get your subject into position. Try to keep his/her movement to a minimum.
Get into your shooting position. Ensure your distance from the subject is the same with every shot.
Start shooting from the head down, or above the head if you want to include some background.

TIPS: Ensure each subsuequent shot overlaps the previous one by about one third. This may seem hard at first, but practice makes perfect!

HANA’S TIPS

Change the angle of the camera every now and then to give each shot a different effect.
Add contrast to some shots by using a higher or lower exposure setting than the one set by the camera.
Don’t worry about lining up the photo prints perfectly. A little disorder makes for an edgy feel.

PRINTING & ASSEMBLING

Transfer your images to your computer.
Start the Canon PhotoPrint EX program software* and choose Photo Print.
Installed during PIXMA printer setup
Select the images to be printed and the type of paper you’re printing on. (We recommend Canon Photo Paper Plus Glossy II)
Under the layout/print section, select Bordered (full) to give your images an artistic-looking white border.
Once done, align your photo prints to form your image. Use sticky tape to keep them in place.

TAADAA! You’re just made
your very first photo print montage!
