Have you ever heard of the term ‘knolling?’ I hadn’t, but it is apparently one of the hottest Instagram trends out there right now, and even emergency services are getting involved!
So knolling is a type of flat-lay photography, where different objects are arranged at 90-degree angles from each other, then photographed from above. The look is symmetrical and pleasing to the eye and allows people to see a variety of objects in a single picture; perfect for demonstrating equipment or an inventory, for example. The process has been further popularized through LEGO, where builders carefully arranged their bricks by shape, style and color before getting to work on construction.
Various emergency services around the world, from ambulance to police and rescue teams, are showing all the gear that they carry in their vehicles using this technique, and it is both informative and really cool! Scroll down below to check them out in action for yourself, and let us know what you think in the comments!
