question for a friend

Postby bigsarg7 on Wed Jan 27, 2010 10:34 am

Hi folks, a friend of mine called to ask me some advice on wedding albums etc. She likes the look of photo books, but would like to make an album that she can add to whenever they do something special, eg jumping out of a plane together, rockclimbing mixture of different things they like to do together, they are both love photography and are always taking shots, so they want to compile an album that they can continually add to with the quality found in photobooks, obviously doesn't have to be binded like a book but yeah needs to be presentable as well. Hope that all makes sense, but if you have any suggestions i can pass onto her it would be great.

Depending on how hands-on your friend is there's a number of options available.

The most immediate that springs to mind is going back to the concept of photo albums (remember the things we all used before digital?) - but with a bespoke approach.

Take a look at suppliers such as Zetta Florence http://www.zettaflorence.com.au/ in particular under the archival and presentation areas. Some nice wooden http://www.zettaflorence.com.au/products/products/presentation/pina_zangaro/tera_portfolio_covers and aluminium http://www.zettaflorence.com.au/products/products/presentation/pina_zangaro/machina_portfolio_covers options in there.

The options exist to either mount individual shots on pages, or layout individual pages and have them printed for insertion.

Hope this is of some help?

(p.s. I'm in no way affiliated with Zetta Florence - other than being an occasional customer)
