Displaying Photos

[nwagirl]

For selling photos at the race track (mostly 4x6, 5x7 and 8x10) for the fans.. anyone have any good ideas on ways to display them at the booth? And by booth I mean a table. :lol:

Last year photo albums were used which worked ok i guess but then only one person can look really at a time at each album. Plus I know someone else who had one stolen that way, so don't want that to happen either!

Looking for any ideas.. thanks!

NWAGirl,

When I set up my tent at sporting events, I use clear plastic acrylic sheets. You can pick them up at Home Depot/Lowe's, etc. They are in the storm door section and are meant to be used as replacements for broken glass windows.

I buy large rectangular ones, 24" x 36". I then collage my prints on them using double sided tape. I then secure these floating collages to the tent legs.

It's a cool effect because the plastic is see-through and where there aren't photos, you can see through the plastic. It makes the photos seem to float in the air. I use rubber insulation inserts meant for windows and doors to cover the sharp corners so no one can bump into them.

You can also try to use panel mounts from TAP. These are the standard cardboard frames you got with your school pictures. They have an easel on that can swing out. They're cheap, ~$20 buys 100.

Other things I've tried in the past are oriental wardrobe dividers. Those 3 fold things that you can get changed behind. I put the pictures in frames and secure the frames to the divider panels just like hanging frames on a wall. You can then position the divider anyway you like.

When you're outdoors your biggest foe is the wind. Make sure anything you use is secured. If not, you'll be chasing your work everywhere.

Good luck.
