Gallery Wraps ~ Portraits with a Unique “Edge.”

Harmann Studios — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 19:52:07 +0000

Have you ever found yourself staring at an amazing portrait, mesmerized and intrigued? Maybe it’s the richness in color, or perhaps it evokes an intense emotion…it’s when you know there is something about that portrait which resonates and jumps out at you, but you cannot quite put your finger on it? To you it is a “work of art.”

Today it’s easier than ever to create those same looks in your own home.

Gallery wraps can truly make your image(s) a “work of art,” and can turn any room in your home into a gallery! Gallery wraps are a modern style of displaying your favorite images(s.) Whether it’s one fantastic image or a collection or series of images telling a story, gallery wraps have become increasingly popular and bring a contemporary edge to your photographs.

A gallery wrap is a canvas that is stretched on a wooden frame and stapled in the back so the image is also printed and shown on the sides of the frame, making it somewhat three dimensional. Basically, the image continues around the sides of the canvas making any image stand out (literally) and be noticed.

Both our Luxemburg and De Pere Studios have numerous samples of gallery wraps adorning both the lobby areas and halls. I often times see clients stop in their tracks and stare at the samples of our artwork. Clearly, they are something special to the eye! Not only can a client choose to have their Harmann portrait printed in a gallery wrap, we also have dozens of layouts for the client who wants to create a collection. Harmann Studios can also customize a layout to suit your needs and any space in your home.

We can even assist you in creating a gallery wrap using your personal images from your own digital media files. The ideas and options are endless.

We encourage you to stop by our De Pere or Luxemburg location and see for yourself what all the buzz is about. After seeing our collections and samples, I’d bet you just might want one for yourself!

2012 ~ A Year Filled With Great Happenings

Harmann Studios — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 18:42:30 +0000

Here we are…sitting amidst a Wisconsin winter. I suppose one could say that it has been relatively mild in general (if you exclude what is predicted in tomorrows forecast, lol!) But really, you all know what I mean. The cold gray skies seem to be a daily view from your window. With every day that passes you anxiously await the first signs of spring. And who doesn’t love spring, right? Well, who doesn’t love WINTER??? (no, that was not a joke.)

Okay, before you start to bash winter, and all the lovely “white stuff” we’ve learned to contend with, look at it this way:

Winter is a great time to regroup! That is right, I said regroup. So what does that exactly mean? It means now that the craziness of the holidays have passed, the next few months offer us all time to focus on things perhaps we did not have the chance to earlier. Yet winter seems to get a bad rap.

For instance, this winter we did a little remodeling of our Luxemburg Harmann Studio location. For those that came to visit us after the holidays, they were greeted to a new floor plan, paint color and reconfiguration of our studio! You would be surprised how many faces perked up as they walked into the “new look!” Funny what getting out of the cold and stepping into a little “wow” can do to a persons attitude! Something so simple as COLOR can change a persons mood! We’ve received many wonderful comments on the new look… and guess what?…WINTER was exactly the right time to work on the update! We are excited about our new look in Luxemburg and encourage you to stop by and take a look for yourself.

Here’s another example…so how about that session you have been thinking of, but just could not seem to fit into your schedule during the holidays? Perhaps now is the time to schedule it! Winter! Indoor, OR outdoors! Yes, I said OUTDOORS! Our photographers at Harmann Studios thrive on creativeness! If you have a vision, we’ll bring it to life, even if your vision is outside during the winter! Some of the most beautiful imagery happens when you look at photography from a whole new and exciting angle. Instead of looking at winter a being long, dreary and frigid, look at it as a new canvas for your next session! Get out of your bubble and try something unique!

2012 is already off to an exciting start, and Harmann Studios wants you to be a part of it all! If you haven’t already seen our 2012 Event Booklet, stop by either our DePere or Luxemburg location, or get your copy at the Bay Park Square Mall. Our display is located near the Younkers entrance and it’s not only filled with spectacular images, but also our informative booklets. The 2012 Event Booklet is a great way to plan your session ahead. We know you are busy and planning is key! We’ve listed over a dozen special dates and sessions throughout the year that are perfect for just about anyone! Children, families, pets, on location, indoor and outdoor! The booklet will give you a taste of what 2012 has in store, and let me just say…2012 has never looked so good.

So brush off your winter blues. After all, life IS what you make of it, and we hope to make yours better than ever with a fantastic portrait in 2012! Stop by or give us a call today.
