Your photos are just breathtakingly beautiful!!! I am getting back into photography finally, it's my passion & I just pray that I take photos just half as gorgeous as you! ❤️You are one of the most talented photographers I've seen in a long time!! Great job with the resin as well! I came to watch this because I was thinking of doing some photos myself with resin to give as gifts to my clients, & after seeing how beautiful they turned out, I definitely think I will for sure be doing so! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for the compliments. It means a lot to me. 😊
I am definitely going to try this . Thank you for taking the time to explain the procedure your photos look totally amazing .
Thank you so much. Im glad you like the video and the photos.
This is amazing. I have a ton of pictures from concerts and this gives me an idea to make posters out of them that will last. Thanks so much!!!
Thank you. Glad you liked it. 😊
Gorgeous!!! And that last pic is stunning!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
Amazing video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thx for responding to the comments below. It’s very helpful. For that fact I had to subscribe.
Aww. Thank you so much. I really appreciate the compliment.
Absolutely beautiful! I will be trying this with my own wedding photos. Thanks so much for posting!
Thank you for the kind words! Best of luck!
Just a note for people wanting to do this for life time memory pictures...resin yellows as it ages. Not sure if art resin does as well...but you might want to check first hand.
Thanks for this video Nolan! I've been wanting to try something like this for a long time. This looks very do-able!
Thank you ! Im glad you enjoyed it.
Great demonstration, super idea. Thanks for the info, Nolan:)
I did this a few times. My best results came from putting painters tape around the edge and then pour the epoxy. This give me the ability to pick up the piece and shift it so the epoxy rolls across the whole picture. This was by accident but I noticed the epoxy would build up in the channels of the painters tape but it was perfect. After letting it sit for 5 mins after pouring and shifting I removed the tape and the epoxy was able to evenly go down the sides. I used a butane touch but didn't Ike it. So I tried using map gas. Its the yellow can. Its a higher heat so be careful. Love the video. Great job!
Thats a great suggestion. I will do that for sure the next time I do this. Thank you.
is map gas a product? ty for suggestion about using painters tape!
@@billpence5444 Map gas is a product like propane. Its used to fuel the torches like what I have in the video.
@@akin4uHello sir what kind of print is this
@@emilpkurian6735 It is printed on a Cannon Pro 10 printer.
I LOVE THEM! I'm a Photographer and i'm going to Love hooking up my photos for my people and watching their Eyes Pop!
Very nice good idea, looks beautiful.
So beautiful! Your pictures are so amazing. Great job! I am going to art resin a picture of our children for my husband for Father's Day.
Thank you so much! Hes going to love that!
@@akin4u Thank you! He did. 😊
Looks great I will be giving this a shot.
Love your pictures!!!
Thank you very much!
Simply Gorgeous, I am stepping up my photograpy business. This is a nice added feature. Thank you for sharing.
My pleasure. Thank you for the compliment. :)
Sir I am a photographer. And should I use Cone Cone's Region Chemical for photo lamination in photography? And please tell me where to find them
Thank you! Ive been wanting to do this for awhile.
Beautiful prints. And the finished pieces turned out excellent.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the compliment.
Nolan Akin
You are most welcome.
@@akin4u chemical name plz??
Great explanation. They look amazing. I'm definitely going to try this
Thank you! Im glad you enjoyed it.
Is it a special resin for photos?
Great work! And nice shots
Beautiful they turn out great..
Thank you!
Great concise video. I was thinking about trying this. I feel much better about investing the time and money now.
Thank you! Glad it helped.
Gorgeous!!!
Thank you
very good nice job . your a good teacher slow and articulate most videos you see on you tube to loud music in background.
rmr046 Thank you very much. I️ really appreciate the compliment. I’m glad you enjoyed it.
So beautiful 😍
Thank you very much I really appreciate that.
Those photographs were absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
Great work. Nice video.
Robert Bascelli Thank you sir! I appreciate that.
this is awesome thank you!
Thank you!
The part where you pointed at the photo so the person filming knew what was going on made me laugh ☺️ thanks for the tutorial!
Haha. Thank you. This was my first ever youtube video and my videographer was my 14 year old son. We had a great time making it. Thank you for watching.
@@akin4u that's awesome! Keeping it alive!
wow I love it lovely photo
Thank you!
WOW THIS IS SO COOL
Thank you!
Beautiful
Thank you!
Great video, thank you
Thank you Jax! I appreciate that.
Thank you for the info
Great work. I know this is an old video, but it’s stunning. Can you show us a video on how to transfer a image to wood
I second that request.
Could you post more videos of photoshoots and doing the prints. I really love this video.
I definitely will. Thank you for the compliment.
@@akin4u Thank you. I can't wait. What kind of material did you use for the pictures to print?
Great work ,thank you for this generous information.What other options are available apart from mdf which is a little bit expensive for me as a beginer
You could get any wood thats about .5 inch thick and sand it down. It could be from an old pallet or just scrap from a job site.
This is a SUPERB post. Thank you so much. I don't have as nice of a printer as what you mentioned. When ordering my prints, should I order matte finish, glossy, e-surface, lustre...?
Also, if you happen to have some printer recommendations, I'm all ears!
Thank you, again!
I really liked that printer the Cannon pro 10. It worked great and did great prints. As far as what paper I would just pick an economy print because the resin is going to make whatever you print look super glossy anyway. I did however print those on a Luster paper.
great result,self explanatory video, beautiful photos.how long after using the torch to get the bubbles out?what do you think if i decide to light up the background with LED light?thanks for this video
I used the torch about 10 minutes after applying the resin. I waited until almost all the reaction had occurred to start dealing with them. I think that would be a great idea to light up the background. Let me know how it turns out for you.
well done!
Thank you!
Nice work my friend .. very neat .. I was wondering .. I dont have a torch .. will a heat gun work.. I have never done this before and I am interested in doing it .. thank you for sharing this with us :)
A heat gun also works great. Ive used that on a couple projects. A blow dryer also will suffice as long as it has a high setting.
Great really wanted to know how to do this as I am making a memory of my son and our little pawson who just left to run over the rainbow bridge #artresin lol
Sorry for your loss. Im sure your project will come out amazing. Thank you for watching.
Very beautiful 🤩 If I want to mount these on the wall what would you recommend
Thank you. I went to Hobby Lobby and got the hardware they use to hang picture frames.
Great video. Thanks for the tutorial. It's given me courage to give it a shot. It looks like you did this indoors. If that's correct, then was there not any odor or fumes?
Thank you. My pleasure. Glad you liked it. There is no odor from Art Resin. That's one of the unique offerings of this product.
Nolan Akin Thanks for replying. That's good to know, since I live in a condo with no outside space.
This looks beautiful! Did you wait any amount of time after you put the adhesive spray on the photos or did you just put the resin on right away?
Thank you! I only waited the time it took me to mix up the resin. The spray glue is just to hold so it doesn't move around as you pour.
@@akin4u : Can you explain what you mean "I only waited the time it took me to mix up the resin. The spray glue is just to hold so it doesn't move around as you pour.".
It sounds like you did not glue the image to the MDF.
So the resin holds the image in please?
What spray did you use?
hi bro, can you show how to frame these photos with the golden frame or silver frame?
I've got a gorgeous black and white photo of my daughter taken at her wedding,so i am going to try this on it.Would a heat gun be just as effective on the bubbles.
a heat gun would work fine.. just make sure you are careful and use low setting. it won't hurt the print but it will really thin out the resin, quickly. also make sure your art is level. use a bubble balance.
When will you make the video for the box frame you made for the photo ?
really nice
The look beautiful ! Do you cover your work after applying the resin when drying?
Thank you very much! I did forget to put that in the video but yes I did. I made a cover out of a cardboard box to keep the little dust particles in the air from getting on to the prints.
Thank you......I was pretty sure they should be covered, but I am no expert! Appreciate your getting back to me.
what substrate did you place the photo on
@@ryanthompson8732 mdf
Beautiful 💗💗🙏 great wotk!! What did you print the pictures on??? Like what kind of paper? Thanks so much 🙏
Thank you. It was printed on a cannon pro luster paper.
Excellent job. Those photos look great! Did you ever do that video about cutting or setting up the MDF? I’m wondering if styrene mounts are also a good solution for the back of the photos. Let me know if you did that video!
I didnt get the video done about cutting the MDF. I still plan on it though. I am sure that the styrene would work. The Rein should make it rigid enough. My only suggestion would be to make sure you get coverage on the sides so it doesnt de-laminate.
Nolan Akin - thank you, sir!
I really like your work. I didn't see a video about how you mounted the photos. Is it just the print adhered to the board and then sealed before pouring? I would be worried about the resin causing creasing.
Thank you. I didnt make a video on the application of the spray on glue. Its pretty straight forward. I take the 3M spray glue and put a light coat on the back of the picture as well as the board. Once this has set up then level and pour the resin. The weight of the resin plus the glue is what keeps the picture from moving or creasing. Best of luck on your project.
Do you cover the photographs with anything before applying the resin? I've been watching other videos and they all say to add art potch or mod podge to protect the photo from being destroyed??
these look awesome! What paper did you use? I'm worried I will discolour my photos when I apply the resin.
I used a cannon pro luster paper. Thank you. Sorry for the late response.
tnx bro❤
just beautiful. you google the measurement what was the site name I have photos that I did and put them on wood ty
Artresin.com has the calculator that I used to determine how much to use. Sorry that I missed this question.
Stunning result ♥️
Did you preserve the pictures with any medium before pouring the resin ?
No. There is no need to put anything over the images. Thank you for watching and best of luck on your project.
@@akin4u Thank you for the kind reply. All the best for your future endeavors.
Loved your video, since it’s been a while, how are the images looking from up light reading and mdf discolouration, a previous comment mentioned the mdf with toxins which is true, particularly in framing as there is space between print and glass.... would love to know,?i also use hahnmuenel I’ve spray for canvas so might work on images to prevent reactions as you and some viewers have noticed
They have held up great. The only exception is one of the prints did not get great coverage on the side where it meets the board and it delaminated a bit but I was able to fix it with some superglue as kind of a patch. They have yet to yellow and thats surprising since some of the events I take them to are outside. I have to admit i was totally unaware of the toxins in the MDF. I have since made a couple more and switched to a plywood. Its more expensive but dont run the risk of the toxic particles. I have framed all of these but I used a floating frame type frame and there is no glass. Thank you for watching and thanks for the question.
Nolan Akin I wouldn’t worry about toxins in MDF. That is what everyone uses for countertops.
Thank you
Thanks for your beautiful video! I just have the question: how did you manage to get rid of the dripples on the back of your photograph? That is very important process.
I just sanded them off after the resin had cured.
Can you explain how you mounted the images to the board , did you only apply spray glue to the back of images for mounting ? And do you have to seal the image with a glue or anything ?
Just the glue. I allowed it to dry for about 2 hours before I put the resin on.
Hi, it’s beautiful. Can you tell me if after years the pictures look the same as first day, I mean if the pictures turned yellow or not
Thank you. So far no yellowing has occurred.
i like it
Thank you!
I’m hesitant to try this since I’m not very good at things like this. Do you know if buying a thin acrylic sheet and putting it over my photos will create the same or a close look. I just bought metallic prints and thought it would be a good touch to further enhance the photo without the mess. Thanks
Joe I am sure you would do fine with this. I am not by any sense of the word handy or crafty and I was able to do it with little problems. As far as the acrylic sheets over the photo I cannot speak to that because I haven't done it myself. I do know however that there is a similar process like what you mentioned that does give photos a great deal more depth. Thank you for the question.
Hi, I'm getting ready to start making these and was wondering if I can do it on posters?
Jammie Brian I don't know of any reason why you couldn't. I'm sure it would look great on posters. Good luck on your project. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Thank you! Which adhesive did you use to attach photo to wood panel? Thank you
Its a 3m spray glue. Red can in the paint section at Home Depot.
Do a bid on how u did the pics snd board
Please can you tell me what the mixture? Thanks.
Great job
I have done resin/epoxy projects before with pictures and various media- problem that I’ve encountered is the bleed through of resin through the paper.
Did you prepare the photos with modge podge at all before the pouring?
I do realize watching the video you didn’t mention/perform any preparation.
I didn't do anything to the photos with the exception of spraying the backs to adhere to the board. Art Resin is specifically made to work with projects like this. I do know not all resins are made equal. If you haven't tried this brand give it a shot. Good luck with your next project.
Beautiful Work, Did you need to put anything on the photos to protect them from the resin?
Thank you Carolyn. No there is no need to cover the photos with anything prior to the resin. Just have a torch or heat gun ready to deal with the bubbles. Good luck with you project.
@@akin4u Thank you so much for the information and thank you for your reply. 😊
Hi did you put anything on top of the print before you poured the resin on it. And what was the name of adhesive you used. I've been wanting to do this project for my boyfriend for Father's Day but a bit nervous as I haven't done a photo resin before. Thanks for this video.
No need to put anything on the print. The adhesive is a red can from home depot in the paint section. Its just a spry glue. Good luck on the project.
i have my graduation photos at least i know what to to about them. do i need only mdf wood, and the resin plus hardener or there are other materials i will need too.
All you need are the photos, spray glue to hold them down, the mdf or other wood, and the art resin comes as a kit with the hardener.
Amazing!! What can I use in place of a blow torch?
A heat gun from Home depot will do the same thing. Also if you have a hair dryer that has a super high setting.
@@akin4u Gracias 😊
Nice Video
Thank you very much! Im glad you enjoyed it.
Brilliant. Glad I found this... However the thought of pouring a liquid over my prized pictures does seem daunting but I'm sure I'll get over it.
How long did it take you too perfect this and am I going to have to learn the hard way by sacrificing a few pics ?
Thank you.
Haha. I agree Phil, I was a little reluctant to pour on my prints as well but it really wasn't bad at all. I have done this several times and I have only ever ruined one photo and it was my fault. There was a bubble that I didn't see because I wasn't using good lighting. These that you see in the video was only the second time I had done this. I do however recommend only doing one or two at a time. That just makes it less stressful. Thanks for watching.
Sorry, Nolan , one last question, is this technique the same as Acrylic prints? It looks identical.
I hope it is some of the prices printers charge are pretty stupid amounts of money, which is what has put me off going down that path.
Phil Taylor No problem Phil I am happy to answer questions the best I can. As far as I know acrylic prints are actually pressed onto a sheet of acrylic using a double sided adhesive and then has heat applied so that it sticks. The acrylic is actually a hard sheet and they cut the print to fit the sheet before pressing it on. This method using the Art Resin will give a very similar look at a fraction of the cost. Hope that helps.
Phil just get copies of ur pictures first just in case
Have you put resin on regular 5x7, 6x6 or 8x10 photos or would that be a challenge with the photos warping
I don't think so. So long as you use a little glue to keep them down.
I'm wondering if you can do this with Walmart printed photos? Please reply... Those are beautiful photos by the way 😍
Absolutely. Actually using a Walmart print is a what I did first. I bought several and I made a mistake on the first one but it wasn't a big deal because I had another copy ready. Best of luck on the project! Thank you very much for watching and the compliment.
@@akin4u You're welcome. Also Thank you
I like your video
I want to know is that possible to pour resin into direct photo not frame portrait?
Yes it is possible to do it that way.
Can you use normal paper? Or do you have to do something with the paper? Or is something special, as in material? Could someone answer please, Im so inspired to do this😊
I have never tried normal paper but if you experiment on something small it may be a good idea so as not to waste a huge amount of resin. I have used photo paper with a regular inkjet office printer and they came out good. Hope this helps.
I use a heat gun on low to get rid of the bubbles but I have noticed this can make the color run on the pictures!!! I am amazed that you us a naked flame but you didn't seem to have any problems? Do you put some sort of colour fixer on the photographs before the epoxy or what is your secret?
If the force of your heat gun is causing the color to run you need much thicker layer of Art Resin.
@@akin4u We have since discovered that the culprit was a prints coming from a Kodak printer. Stopped using it and the problem is fixed.
@@Neil-Aspinall Awesome. Glad it worked out for you. Thank you for the update.
Need more info on the MDR board. What size is your photo and what is the thickness of the MDR board and I tried looking up the tutorial on the photo transfer to the board, I could not find it.
Here is a link to the MDF at Home Depot., That is where I got it. Also a link to the 3M adhesive spray. I only used a very light coat of the spray to keep the picture in place until the Art Resin set up. www.homedepot.com/p/MDF-Panel-Common-3-4-in-x-4-ft-x-8-ft-Actual-0-750-in-x-48-in-x-96-in-M11161249097000000A/202332600

Hope that helps. Fee free to ask any other questions.
Wow this looks awesome, I want to do this and make some extra cash on the side. Do you think it will sell? Although I am not a photographer (I know one I could work with but he'll try to split it and I don't want that >.< lol) but I think of just doing the mounting and resin is good enough. What do you think would be some good prices for enough profit taking into account the board and the resin? And for different print sizes? Thanks!
Im sure they would sell. I would definitely price them around the 200-300 dollar range for this size. Price for other sizes would be determined by what you are mounting on and the quantity of the Art Resin you buy. (Buying in bulk cuts the cost of the Art Resin) I might suggest working with artists and photographers in your area and offer this as a service. Its definitely unique and will make anyones work stand out. Plus there are lots of other things that can be done with Art Resin. Thanks for watching the video!
+Nolan Akin I was thinking on mounting them on gatorfoam. I thought about mdf boards but i heard toxic fumes are released when the board is being cut. That being said gator foam is a bit expensive and i was thinking of pricing it about .50 cents per inch. So for instance a 4x6 print would cost 12 bucks is that too cheap?
I didnt know that about the MDF, thanks for the info. Im not familiar with gator board but I'm sure if its solid it will work. I think a little more on the price would ensure you have some room to make a profit. If you raise it a little and offer a small discount then you will still have room to make money on smaller orders. Good luck! Let me know how it turns out.
What kind of paper are your photos on? Do they need to be on photo paper? Thank you!
Thank you for the question. I used a cannon pro luster paper. Its 13 inches by 19 inches.
@@akin4u can you applied resin directly to a inkjet photo without coat ,avoiding soaking or deteriorate the photo
@@andresmashup Yes you can. The Resin reacts to the ink in some cases but not in a destructive way. If it reacts its just in the form of bubbles. It will stop it just may take more time. I have only seen this in off brand inks. I have never coated any of my images and they always turn out great. Hope this helps.
Did you use anything like a roller or similar to press the image firmly to board, so not to have trapped air bubbles or unevenness from tiny imperfections on the wood ?
No. I didn't roll it with anything. However I dont think thats a bad idea. I just made sure the wood and the picture were really clean first. Good luck with your project.
@@akin4u Thanks for replying mate, appreciated.
can you make video on how did you paste the photo in the mdf?
I certainly can.
Are you still using the Canon Pro Luster? If not, what paper are you using now? I used Ilford Galerie Smooth Pearl (310) and am a bit underwhelmed. I'm now looking at some other paper types (and brands). Do you have any suggestions? Please and thanks. ~Will
wewwew667 Yes I am still using the canon pro luster. It seems to look the best under the art resin.
Nolan Akin do you use anything to seal your prints before you resin them? I use the same paper, but am getting reaction issues between the paper and the resin.
Sorry for the late response. I don't seal them with anything. I have found that the reaction tends to be more about the ink than the paper. If you are having high reaction try using a different ink. Hope that helps. You might also go to the Art Resin site and see there FAQ section. They may have some answers there.
What spray adhesive did you use for the photos before you add the epoxy??
I used a 3M spray adhesive in a dark red can that I purchased at Home Depot.
You used mdf board? I thought only birch could be used, i cam to see if redwood could be used.
Is there a specific resin to use on photos? Or do you need to seal the photos first before using the resin? I used a clear casting resin and my photos nearly completely bleached of all colour?
I have only used this brand of resin. It's called Art Resin. I cant speak to any other brands. I have never sealed any of my pictures and they have come out perfect each time. Sorry about your photos. Hope this helps.
I've had the problem of the colour running when you using a heat gun on low is this similar to what you're talking about?
Hi
Will this work on inkjet printed photos or only laser? Do they need to be laminted first?
It will work with photos from any printer. I have done several and never had any issue. Good luck with your project.
You mentioned a digital photo. I want to resin a photograph from a negative on a tray. Does the fact that it from this source make a difference on the picture?
I dont think that would matter at all. Result should be the same.
the resin that you used is the same type that can be used for tumbler cups?
Yes it is. Its a great multi purpose resin.
can I ask what paper you used? I've have some art resin but having terrible experience with it and micro bubbles generating off the papers I've tried.
Sorry for the delayed response. I use the cannon pro luster paper on these particular photos. There was a lot of bubbles for me as well but I think that is more a reaction to the ink than the paper, but I could be wrong. My suggestion is to just be diligent with the torch and keep an eye on the project until there is no more reaction. Best of luck.
Hey, what printer are u used, and size of photo??
Can you recommend one photo printer, not professional one, I want to use at home
I used a Canon pro 10 printer. If you are on a budget but still want good prints I would have photos printed at a print house like WHCC and use those to start. Its much cheaper than buying even an entry level printer and ink. You can get prints this size I used for about 6 dollars U.S.. Hope this helps. If you are in the market for a printer I would search TH-cam for reviews.
Hi is it reg photo paper
Have you had any problems with delamination between the print and MDF? Thanks
I have not. When I pour the Art Resin I make sure to let it run over the sides of the MDF and rub in into the board. Thank you for the question.
Did you buy your own frames and what design are those
did you need to seal the photos before putting down the resin?
What type adhesive did you use to adhere the photos please
It's 3m spray adhesive from Home depot in the paint section. Red can.
Do you know how to do a Matt or textured coating?
You want to do the texture right before the resin hardens all the way. Good thing is if it doesn't turn out how you like it just repour a thin layer of resin and your back to glossy.
Hello, If I make a large photo, how do you estimate the amount of the resin to be used? And how long does it take to harden? Im afraid I run out of time.
If you go to Art Resin website they have a calculator on the site. You just put in the dimensions and it will give you the volume. Dont stress about the time, its very forgiving. Just make sure to use equal parts resin to hardener.
