From every trip we bring back hundreds of photos. They end up on the phone or computer drive, and after a few weeks they blend in with other files and slowly fade into oblivion. Yet all it takes is a bit of time to turn those photographs into something lasting - a photobook that lets you relive the journey every time you open it.
Selecting photos and their order
The key to a successful travel photobook is selection. It is not about fitting in every single photo, but about choosing the ones that best capture the atmosphere of the place and the emotions of the trip. It is worth arranging them in chronological order - from departure, through the following days, to the return home. This kind of narrative makes browsing the photobook feel like telling a story. It is also good to leave room for detail shots: local dishes, street name signs, admission tickets, or fragments of architecture. It is precisely these small things that, years later, bring back memories just as powerfully as views from scenic overlooks.
Format and page layout
When preparing a photobook, it is worth thinking about the format. Travel landscape photographs look best in a horizontal format, which allows the panorama to be shown in its full glory. On the other hand, if portraits and vertical shots dominate, a vertical or square format will work better. On each page, it is best to place one to three photos to avoid a cluttered impression. You can also add short captions with the place name and date, which makes it easier to return in memory to specific moments.
A travel photobook has one more advantage that is rarely considered - it works perfectly as a gift. If you travelled with family or friends, such a photo book becomes a shared keepsake that everyone gladly flips through. All you need to do is select the best shots, arrange them on the pages, and order the print. The entire process takes just a few hours, and the result lasts forever.
