ORIGAMI

How to make up a composition? What new features to add to a still life? How to decorate a model's clothes? What do we have simple, available and at the same time exquisite on hand?

Japanese art of origami is creating things, toys and pieces of decor made of paper. You can make anything you want - from boxes and pencil clips to flowers, birds and fantastic creatures. Nowadays there are plenty of textbooks and manuals (even video courses), dedicated to origami, that you can easily find in the Internet.

Origami can bring life to any photo composition, even if you're taking photos in a place, where is nothing of interest for the photo session. And having some experience in origami, paper and a few spare minutes, you may make up something using your imagination. It would be quite original to photo natural flowers in combination with paper ones, or a picture of a paper bird with real birds in background...

And don't forget to improvise with color using colored paper for origami. There is another one technique, that cannot be used outdoor, but you can prepare to use it at home. It's a figure print on the paper. Take a green sheet of paper, print black waves on it and make a crane bird. Or take red paper and print black grid on it, make a rose and pin it to your model's clothes. A great object for a photograph, isn't it?

By the way, origami is interesting in itself. Maybe many of you would like this art and would eagerly create new beautiful images.
