Photozone at the graduation

Modern graduations differ in their scope from the modest holidays of yesteryear. Now parents are trying to think over everything to the maximum and provide not only entertainment, but also an aesthetic appearance. To get a sufficient number of beautiful photographs from different angles, it is customary to install photo zones. They solve most of the tasks associated with obtaining beautiful memorable photos. If the zone is decorated uniquely, then the pictures will be truly memorable. Someone decides to order photo zones from specialists, someone draws up on their own. This is not only a question of finances, but also of taste and aesthetic perception. Whichever option you choose, you must first study all the current types of photo zones.

The graduation photo zone is often done by hand. And not always such compositions are played by a professional idea and execution. But there are conditions that must be met if you decide to take this path:

• impeccable taste of the performer or performers;

• compliance with the theme of the holiday;

• a competent choice of color that will go well with the overall design of the event;

• responsibility of the person in charge of registration, the ability to bring things to the end;

• knowledge of the basics of creating a photo zone, so that it is strong and completely safe;

• availability of executing assistants.

You can make the design beautiful and harmonious if you have a clear plan of action. Although they seem obvious, it is worthwhile to proceed in stages:

• the general idea is first thought out;

• the appropriate decor is selected in the Internet space;

• a shopping list is drawn up;

• items, various props, balls, materials are being purchased - decorations can be completely different;

• delivery is made out if necessary.

The main thing is to do everything in advance, since it will be more expensive to arrange a photo zone for graduates before the holiday itself. The design of the area for the photo can hardly be limited by some kind of framework, you can show your imagination. However, it is important to keep within the general idea of ​​the holiday, to create a harmonious space. A school or kindergarten area is a rather atmospheric task, it can be realized through the following types of decor.

• Made of paper and cardboard. There are a huge number of options for modern design from these materials. A flat round corrugated part is the basis of the composition. Fan-shaped circles can be purchased ready-made, ordered, made by yourself. The colors and sizes are variable, it looks quite impressive and stylish, usually children are delighted with everything bright.

• From threads. Garlands of this type are even more inexpensive; it is enough to purchase ready-made threads and add decor. Garlands with stars, sequins, and various geometric shapes look very impressive. The threads are hung on the background surface, and the sides can be supplemented with other decor. Elements can be large or small, the length of the threads and their number, as well as the color scheme, vary.

• From balloons. First of all, there are two options for balloons - with and without helium. The latter look great in the form of garlands, installations. It is enough to have a grid, to which simple balls are attached, to get a very effective design. It is worth covering more area with them to increase the expressiveness of the space. The second option is helium balloons, which you can fill by yourself if you have an appropriate device or order. The easiest way is to order several ready-made fountains, columns, bouquets, and install them along the background. The combination of foil, matte, transparent elements looks complicated and impressive.

• With the stars. A very creative idea, which can be called "Star Prom", for this, figures of different sizes are placed in the photo zone. This is a three-dimensional version, the stars can be attached, hung, placed, but so that they are all in the frame. Stars can be bought in the store or ordered, the latter option is more budgetary. Figures with slots in which you can place battery-powered LEDs look expressive. A stunning experience and gorgeous photos are guaranteed.

• Of flowers. Of course, ordering fresh flowers for graduation is not a very practical solution, and artificial ones are not always successful. Plastically made paper flowers, on the other hand, are a brilliant idea. This type of decor is expensive, as it is rather difficult to create such elements. But the result is literally amazing. Bulky flowers, leaves, tropical plants can be made independently by studying the appropriate master classes.

• With books. A very organic, and most importantly, atmospheric idea that will be appropriate for graduates of any age. For kids, you can think of something bright out of colored cardboard. Art collages of this type are quite an interesting idea. The Harry Potter style is also often complemented by decor from books - real or fake.

The size of the photo zone may vary, but the optimal parameters are 3 by 2 meters.You should not adjust to the general photo, because if you put the whole class or the whole group, the decor will still be covered by the children. Therefore, it is worth considering a more practical size.

The pipe structure, which forms the basis of the zone, is purchased in specialized stores. It can be either metal or wood. The main thing is that the area for the photo is very stable, otherwise the solemnity of the moment may be ruined.

Regardless of whether a budget or expensive area is planned for a photo, it is important that the ideas are modern, original, harmonious with the circumstances. A simple area will easily fit into a modest celebration, while a lavish ball should be complemented by appropriate decorations. One of the most important criteria when choosing an idea is the age limit for graduates.

Adult graduates who say goodbye to school are a special category; you can decorate their evening in different ways. Of course, the easiest way is to rent a structure, especially since during the graduation period this product is offered in a wide range. Most often, such options are universal, but impersonal - a banner with the inscription "Graduation of such and such a year" or farewell words to the school. Sometimes areas are complemented by minor decor.

The second option is a custom-made photo zone, and you can find very inexpensive variations. But in this case, you still have to think over the idea. Do not forget about the conditions in which the decor for the photo will be located, there are many options, and they all have their own characteristics. And also competent lighting is important. Banners are popular, but not the only option used on prom night. You can decorate the photo area as follows.

• With huge numbers, letters - when the number corresponding to the year of graduation is effectively presented. This can be done in different ways: volumetric styrofoam options are decorated taking into account the general style. The height must be more than one meter, otherwise it will not work to create the desired impression. But the background for such a zone is not required, the school itself can act in this capacity.

• With sequins. A background of shining elements is a great idea not only for a New Year's party. If you are planning an evening in the style of Hollywood, the Oscars, this option can be considered the most successful. These shimmery photo zones are the easiest to rent as they are versatile.

Give up the idea of ​​putting everything in one composition at once. This is the biggest problem for non-professional decorators. Balls, flowers, glitter, styrofoam in one ensemble look wild and tasteless. Always stick to the rule - simpler and less is better than pretentious and ridiculous. In addition to traditional design options, you can also consider non-trivial ideas for photo zones:

• with coated surface - not a banner imitating a blackboard and chalk inscriptions, but a real background on which you can write congratulations and memorable phrases, dates in chalk;

• in the form of a book - volumetric variation, where you can change pages with text;

• mosaic - is a huge layout that combines a lot of photographs on which the participants of the event can find their image;

• photoballs - a large transparent ball with a banner and a mass of small confetti inside, on which the inscriptions of the year of issue, the name of the city, pictures are located, you can climb inside and take a picture;

• LED option, consisting of three screens, on which there is always a video sequence, is a luxurious choice for posting in accounts;

• selfie spinner - a platform on which those who wish stand up, and a camera with a selfie lamp flies around and takes pictures, the video turns out to be stunningly effective;

• selfie mirror - in such a photo zone, you can see yourself, adjust your outfit and not only take a picture, but also take a selfie.

The graduation photo zone in primary school is most often set up right on the stage where the action takes place, and after the event - a photo session. A children's graduation does not require such difficulties and costs as an adult, the main thing is that everything is harmonious, not clumsy. The following options are perfect for this:

• decor from balls - garlands, bouquets, compositions of a different plan;

• paper decoration is suitable for fans of eco-friendly details - you can create balls in the form of a honeycomb, accordion, lanterns, stars, brushes, almost any shape;

• letters and numbers are also relevant to use - they can be made of cardboard, the optimal height is above 1 meter, white figures look great with usually brightly dressed children.

Ideas that are offered for decorating an adult prom can also be used.

Here you can apply many of the above, but there are a number of ideas that were invented specifically for such celebrations:

• paper flowers on legs - they should be tall, with the height of a person, they look beautiful and bright;

• dimensional flowers on the wall - in paper form, such flowers look very expressive, impressive, children like them;

Decorating a prom of any level will solve most of the problems. But if there is no budget for this, it is quite possible to do it on your own, the main thing is to have imagination, taste and desire.

It is important not only to decorate the photo zone beautifully in the general style and mood of the holiday, but also to correctly arrange it. There are several popular options with their own merits and demerits.

• Street. The best choice if good calm weather is expected. Keep in mind that bright sun will create a problem with highlights and shadows on the face, it is important to choose a place where the light will fall correctly. Natural lighting is ideal if there is no professional photographer and will only be shooting with smartphones. It is important to determine where the sun will be during the celebration, and to place the area so that the rays do not shine from behind the backs of those being photographed. Another defining moment is the stability of the composition itself, otherwise the wind can ruin everything in one moment. It is optimal to fix the zone by placing it against a wall, for example.

• In the lobby. In a club, restaurant or cafe there is almost always a foyer, where a photo area is perfectly located. The so-called "welcom" zone is protected from backlight or wind, but you need to think about additional lighting in order for the shots to be of high quality.

• On the stage. If the event takes place in a hall with a stage, you can place a photo area on it. This is the most budget-friendly option, at the same time decorating the hall during the celebration and allowing you to get great photos at the end of the party.

The easiest and most versatile way to create a photo area is to use garlands of ordinary balls. The main thing is to choose the right colors.

Numbers, letters and decor for the general style of the holiday always look appropriate and expressive.

The combination of flowers, ribbons and corrugated paper circles can be made by hand. Looks pretty catchy.

If the budget allows, and there is a desire, you can combine different decor ideas in one composition. The main thing is that they look organic and form a single ensemble.

Ideas for adult children should be more stylish and concise. Multi-colored diversity, appropriate for preschoolers, will cause confusion among adolescents.

Garlands of balloons, compositions with helium are a great classic solution.

Stars are an actual detail of a prom in a different style. A very effective and expressive composition, against the background of which gorgeous photos will be obtained.

When choosing a color, always focus on the design of the entire hall, its main shades and the theme of the holiday.

Oscar style and red carpets are a very popular idea for an adult prom.
