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.
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!
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. 😊
Gorgeous!!! And that last pic is stunning!
Thank you very much! I really appreciate it!
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.
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.
Thank you! Ive been wanting to do this for awhile.
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.
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
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.
Those photographs were absolutely beautiful!
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that.
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. 😊
Great work! And nice shots
Beautiful they turn out great..
Thank you!
Very nice good idea, looks beautiful.
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. 😊
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?
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.
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?
Gorgeous!!!
Thank you
Great demonstration, super idea. Thanks for the info, Nolan:)
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??
Looks great I will be giving this a shot.
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!
Love your pictures!!!
Thank you very much!
Thanks for your respond but sanding the dripples that is very annoying process and still you not able to sand all of them without some traces. Did you tried to protect the back from the dripples with some tape, for example?
I havent tried that but Im sure it would work.
WHAT PAPER TYPE USED TO PRINT OUT THE IMAGE
I used the canon pro luster paper.
this is awesome thank you!
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.
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.
wow I love it lovely photo
Thank you!
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.
hi bro, can you show how to frame these photos with the golden frame or silver frame?
Do a bid on how u did the pics snd board
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.
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.
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.
So beautiful 😍
Thank you very much I really appreciate that.
When will you make the video for the box frame you made for the photo ?
Thank you for the info
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.
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.
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.
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.
What is MDF? is that wood?
Yes it is. Its Kind of a really dense particle board. Think of it like an industrial strength cardboard.
can you make video on how did you paste the photo in the mdf?
I certainly can.
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 😊
really nice
Beautiful
Thank you very much!
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.
Great work. Nice video.
Robert Bascelli Thank you sir! I appreciate that.
did you need to seal the photos before putting down the resin?
You used mdf board? I thought only birch could be used, i cam to see if redwood could be used.
Can i use any epoxy resin brand ?
I ordered 2 gallon by a company named Clear Flow. The resin and the hardener.
I cant attest to how that brand compares but I'm sure its good. Most epoxy resins are very chemically similar. I picked the art resin brand because of the low odor so I could do it inside. Best of luck on your project.
@@akin4u Ahhh so relieved to read this. Thank you fir responding. Your photos in art resin look really beautiful. Thank you for answering my question.
@@photograffyc2139 Thank you for the kind words!
Just curious how this video was uploaded on May 20, 2016, yet in one of the pictures, the bride's shoe has a date of June 24th, 2017 (see 6:41). How did that happen?
It was a save the date shoot. That picture was their future wedding date at the time of the shoot.
hello! can we use resin directly on glossy photo paper or will it ruined the photo paper?
You can use it right on the paper. Just make sure the ink dries for at least 24 hours.
@@akin4u thankyouu so much!!
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.
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.
tnx bro❤
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.
How did u get the pictures to stick to the Mdf. Board ?
I used a spray glue from home depot called 3M. Its in the paint section and its a red can.
Can you use a photo if you get it printed off like at Walmart
Can a heat gun be used as well to get the bubbles out?
Yes you can. Ive used this method as well as a hair dryer on high heat and they get the job done just as well.
i like it
Thank you!
Please can you tell me what the mixture? Thanks.
Great job
What can I use in the stead of a torch?
You can use a heat gun or even a hair dryer as long as it can get really hot.
Thank you
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! 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.
Have you ever taken the canvas off the frame to resin over it on a wood base?
I have not but I bet it would come out good.
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.
Which material did you printed your images on?
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.
Did you buy your own frames and what design are those
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
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 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 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.
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.
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.
WOW THIS IS SO COOL
Thank you!
Did you cost the photos first with something? It surprises me it did not soak in. Thanks!
I didnt coat them. Art Resin is formulated to not affect the colors. I did let them dry for at least 24 hours after printing and before I did the art resin.
Artresin costs a little more but after trying several other top brands I’m going back to art resin for clarity, uv protection, ease of pouring nontoxicity and food grade quality. A five star product I can feel totally confident about
@@karenkinsey6144 I agree. I've tried a few others myself. Always come back to Art Resin for photography related projects.
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.
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.
Hello sir ...what kind of print is this?
Are the pictures laminated first?
No. Just the resin over top.
@@akin4u how did the wetness not destroy the pictures?
@@morgancalvi6675 The resin dries relatively quick. Doesn't have time to warp under the weight of the resin.
@@akin4u wait....many resins take days to cure and dry...what kind of resin do you use?
@@morgancalvi6675 Its a brand called art resin. cures in a few hours.
Is this video not available anymore? It won't play at all. Really wanted to see this process on wedding photos.
Gennis Joseph Sorry about that. Can you tell me if its giving an error message. I can see and watch it on my end but it may be different since I created it.

That's what I get when I try to view your video. I have no trouble with other videos on youtube.
I contacted youtube about this. I apologize. I will comment again to this thread when I get an answer. Thank you for letting me know.
You just have bad WiFi
well done!
Thank you!
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.
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??
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.
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.
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.
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. 😊
Which paper use for photo?
I used cannon pro luster photo paper.
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.
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.
I have a quick question. Would it still work if I was to print the photos at a Walmart ? Very interested in trying something like this but I’m not sure if it’ll mess up or not
Im sure it would. I haven't heard or experienced any problems with different inks or papers. To be honest starting out with small inexpensive print is probably the best way to start just in case something goes wrong the first time.
Yes you can get pictures printed at your local Walmart, CVS, Walgreens, office Max hope this helps
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.
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?
