Why Choose a Printed Photo Book Rather than Digital Samples of Your Work?
There comes a time when every photographer needs to present his or her work to others. Whether your goals include being featured in an exclusive gallery or in a local coffeeshop, whether you take photos of pets or scenic landscapes, weddings or children, showing your work to someone in a position to make a decision is the key to getting your foot in the door.
When gallery owners call for submissions, they may have rigid criteria for submissions, but when you go into a coffeeshop, what’s going to set you apart more: using a printed photo book or handing over a CD of your work? Printed photo books, in these situations just make sense - if only because musicians drop off CDs of their music.
Similarly, when you want to have an impact and show off your portraiture skills, printed photo books give you a chance to give parents, engaged couples and families more than just a demonstration of your best work, but also a sense of how their own photos could be organized - something that will also help to market your services and set you apart from other photographers in your area.
Setting yourself apart and showcasing your work are the keys to promoting your career as a photographer. Why not choose a tool that lets you do both at the same time?
