Knolling is something I have been doing since I was a child, I always enjoyed symmetry and alignment. So in short I have been Knolling since the 80's. Knolling by definition is a process in which you arrange objects so that they are 90 degree angles from each other, then photographing them from above. Basically this a perfectionist dream come true! 

Knolling creates a very crisp aesthetic and symmetry that is pleasing to the eye. Most knolling sets objects on a solid background, which makes the individual object easily visible and allows the objects to "pop". Knolling is used in all types of genres including hardware, fashion and decor to name a few. So you can see knolling from your favorite blogger, mechanic and fashionista. Below you will see the steps to knolling a couple fun facts and some great "KNOLLING" visuals.
