Every photographer and scrapper is looking for a way of doing more with their photos and layouts. But they may not be sure what that “more” might be. Here are some ideas on how you can use photo books to extend your creativity:
- Tell a story. If, for example, you’ve taken a series of photos – from your summer vacation, from protest rallies or a series about conservation – a printed photo book can put those shots into a collection that captures the emotion or helps to move the viewer in some way.
- Capture an event. Concert photographers and wedding photographers don’t just snap a single picture – they take a number of photos that really show the completeness of an event. Photo books display the whole experience, not just a single moment in time.
- Preserve memories. An amazing vacation. Your child’s first year of school. Your family tree. With a printed photo book, you can keep your memories fresh.
- Create unique gifts. A collection of your layouts is a gift that a digiscrapper can give that no one else can.
- Share a part of yourself. When you capture moments or things that you are passionate about, gathering them in a printed photo book gives you the opportunity to share the world as you see it.
There are a lot of photo book companies out there, and I’ve tired many of them. To date my personal favorite is Viovio. They offer a quality product at a very affordable price, plus great customer service!
