Far from being a casual pastime, amateur photography used to involve a great deal of planning, mostly reserved for special occasions.

There were cameras and films to buy, batteries to insert, a limited number of shots available and rarely an option to preview your image. Not to mention the time and effort employed to get the composition and lighting just right.

Developing your prized pictures meant taking the film to a local photo shop and waiting days for the prints to appear – complete with a set of negatives and inevitably a few unexpected poses and facial expressions.

1. Arrange pictures by theme. Pick holidays, family events or fun days out and create a constantly cheerful corner in your home.

2. Group them by colour and add a dramatic dimension to existing décor and furnishings.

3. Present pictures in a uniform size, shape and frame, arranged in equal rows to create a block which draws the eye to the whole display as well as each component.

4. Pick and mix shapes, sizes and positions to produce an attractive, freestyle grouping.

5. Go rustic and bring the outdoors inside with warm toned images and wood finished frames.
