I am sure you’ve seen regular photo collages where many photos are arranged around each other. They come in many designs and most of them look beautiful. But the trend/rage for this year is this particular style of photo collage that is shown above & below photos – Framed Printed Photo Collage on a Wall. Have a look at the photo closely.

One of my Instagram friends is organizing a photography workshop on the topic, ‘Natural Light Portrait Photography’ at his own studio located in ECR, Chennai (Near toll gate). So I thought why not publish a blog post and spread the word… I had an opportunity to visit his photography studio recently and I was quite impressed with the facilities available there.

Here is a Company Introduction Video we made for WOWSUPER.NET. It gives an overview of what we do, the types of videos we make, and contact details. At 1 minute and 22 seconds, it’s short enough to hold viewers’ attention. The visual effects do a neat job at attracting people to see through the video. We have used the popular parallax effect in this video, along with some animation of the inline elements. The colors are predominantly white, black and green. A video can be used both online and offline and is more effective than paragraphs of text or a...
