Author Julie Stefani shares her technique for making her flower photography pop from the page. - To create a basic page, Stefani enlarges her photo to 8" x 10" and cuts a square in the center of the photograph. Then, she mounts the small photo (cut from the original) on black paper. Dimensional dots are placed on the back of the matted photo, and the photo is adhered directly over the square cut-out to make the center portion of the photo "pop".
- From another flower photograph, Stefani selects foreground flowers to cut from a copy of the original photo. She cuts around them, adds foam dots to the back and places them directly onto the same image on the base photo.
- On a page with the same color throughout, Stefani leaves a little of the background around the edges of the flower (to create a silhouette effect).
- The same effect can be created with people using foam dots. Stefani suggests looking for an element that can be cut out and emphasize. Use two photos the same size. From one, cut the image you want to "pop" and add dimensional foam dots to the back. Place directly over the same area on the second photograph.
