Current technologies greatly enhance this pleasure. Now, everyone can order professionally printed illustrated paper books through a website.

We'll explain here how to create your photo book.

Life's Big Moments

Certain moments in life are a source of emotion and great photo opportunities.

A photo album always enjoys great success. It's even becoming easier and easier to create.

We remind you here why it's so essential to make a photo book.

Essential Instances

Here are some ideas to vary the shots: panoramic, medium, or close-up. You'll flip through the pages of your photo book with even more pleasure.

Vacations and Travels

Your landscape shots will be more impressive with a sense of depth. Photograph an element in the foreground, such as a tree, a plant, a person, or an object (beautiful streetlamp, wall, door...).

Adjust the focus on this foreground or conversely on the background. The contrast between the blurred part and the sharp part will create an original atmosphere.

The key is to control these effects. Take the time to view all the elements that will be represented. The rule is to devote at most 1/3 to the sky and 2/3 to the landscape.

We recommend alternating these shots with original viewpoints. They'll highlight patterns that caught your attention: close-up on cobblestones, façades, market stalls... This way, your album will be personalized. It'll reflect your tastes.

Friendship and Love

How to take successful selfies in pairs using a smartphone?

Hold it high to create a downward angle. Slightly move your smartphone to the side. You'll distort faces less. The portrait will be more harmonious than if you were directly in front of the lens.

Imagine someone is in front of you. Don't hesitate to create movement, talk, and laugh. The importance lies less in the image quality than in the expressiveness of the subject. A selfie is a kind of photo-confidence about a shared moment of intimacy.

If you want to improve the quality of the selfie and capture the background, consider getting a selfie stick. Don't hesitate to ask someone around you to take your photo. The result is successful when there's good humor in the exchange.

The Birth

Make sure to take a good photo of an infant.

Apply a filter if the skin color is unflattering. Our creation software offers a simple retouch when you drag your snapshot towards your photo book. You'll be able to select the most favorable brightness at this time.

So as not to distort the baby's body, it's advisable to place yourself at the same height. If you're photographing from above, position yourself very slightly on an angle. Direct face shots sometimes create unintended effects.

The Ages of Childhood

Note this tip pinched from professional photographers: to enhance a portrait, place a white sheet near the subject. It must be a lighter shade than the skin tone. This will highlight the subject. It's a great way to naturally reduce redness, for example.

Family Life

Think about capturing images of everyday life. You'll be able to show your children later on the atmosphere they grew up in. We usually tend to remember from our childhood the moments captured on paper photos.

A photo book that retraces the ordinary is precious for your family. It will be more spontaneous and unusual, for example, than a wedding album. Enjoy yourself, regularly order affordable softcover books in a small format.

Wedding and Celebrations

If you're organizing a party with friends or a family gathering, you'll probably be quite busy. Think about assigning one or two guests for coverage. This is essential on a wedding day.

It's then preferable for two or three people to take care of it. You'll have a wider choice of shots. This way you avoid any risk of loss or forgetfulness and enrich your future photo album keepsake.

Create Your Series of Albums

A series of albums helps to plan ahead. They are very affordable. Many customers now create series of illustrated books.

Once the first design is created, following ones can be made in just a few clicks. Just incorporate new shots while maintaining the same format, cover, and design. Your library will be well stocked.

To sophisticate the series concept, you can offer a photomontage on the cover with recurring images. Assemble, for example, the same image for each album, around which new snapshots will be added.

Determine the number of pages that suit you for the first copy. Indeed, we offer a minimum of 17 to 24 pages depending on the cover and the format of your books. You can add as many as you'd like. The maximum allowed ranges from 220 to 400.

analog Photos

Do you have analog photos that are dear to you? The creation of a traditional paper album becomes a must.

For security or reading convenience, you can also integrate them into an illustrated and printed book.

You must scan them to convert to Word. It's possible to integrate all your photos into a single Word, PDF, or Powerpoint file. This way, you'll enjoy your analog photos in an album printed on high-quality satin paper.

A Themed Photo Book

Your snapshots come from various sources. You can't sort them, or you don't have the time? Use your imagination. You can create an original work. Go for a themed book.

The themed photo book is divided into several parts based on themes. It could involve grouping photos related to a place, an activity, a color. Each page will appear as a mishmash.
