📝 Pro Tips for an Incredible Holiday Photo Book
1. Gather Your Favourite Pics and Line Up a Group Discount
Swipe through your camera roll and phone gallery – the best candid shots might be hiding there! Contact us for bulk discounts so your friends and family can order copies too. Better still, design your book online and share it so everyone can customise their own version!
2. Tell a Story with Pictures
Every great story has a beginning, middle, and end. Sort your holiday shots to create a visual journey through time that your memory will love following.
3. Get Picky with Your Pics
Blurred or discoloured images won’t do your photo book justice. Check your photos on a larger screen before uploading them to ensure high quality prints.
4. Brighten Up
Keep in mind that printed images often appear darker than they do on a backlit screen. Bright, well-lit shots will look best. Use photo editing software to adjust lighting if needed.
5. Cut, Cut, Cut
If you’re unsure about a picture, leave it out. Quality over quantity! With RapidStudio albums, you can adjust the number of pages to fit your best shots.
6. Take the Bumper Crop
Got a great shot with an annoying tourist in the background? No problem! Use cropping tools to refine the image and perfect your layout.
7. A Fine Pair
Match your image layout for visual balance. Pair similar scenes or emotions side by side. Try panoramic shots for a wow factor and add context for humour – like pairing grumpy faces with a “Closed” sign at an amusement park.
8. Special Effects
Enhance your photos with simple editing tools. Fix red-eye, straighten shots, or experiment with filters like Sepia, Black and White, or colour saturation for bold, artistic statements.
9. Plan Ahead or Fill the Gaps
Pro photographers plan their photo books before shooting. For future trips, create a checklist of shots you need. Forgot a landmark? Fill the gap with stock images (Google is your friend!).
