TRIPTYCH PHOTOGRAPHY
Triptych art is made up of 3 panels that are intended to be displayed together. A triptych is from the Greek Adjective meaing "Three-Fold." The first triptychs were from early Christian art, which were a popular format for altar paintings from the Middle Ages on wards.
When the triptych art form is applied to photography or fine art, there are no steadfast rules to a triptych display. One method consists of three mounted artworks in a frame, the 3 images are closely associated in subject matter and are displayed near each other.
Triptychs are a popular story telling method, showing different aspects of your subject, contrast or juxtaposition, conveying emotions, and displaying a common theme.
