Self Publishing Printed Photo Books Lets You Indulge the “Publishing Bug”

Posted on June 6th, 2008 by Embassy Pro Books

Most photographers who have found themselves caught up looking at photo books at their local bookstore feel the bite of the publishing bug - an urge to create a printed photo book in which they can publish their own work. Fortunately, thanks to printed photo books, you’ll find that you’re able to indulge the publishing bug rather than simply trying to swat it away:

There is a revolution going on in the publishing business today. Even five years ago, publishing a book was a major financial undertaking. The odds of getting a manuscript past an editor are extremely remote. This would be true of text books or books illustrated with photographs. Now however it is possible to write or compile a store-quality book for just a few dollars. The minimum order is often one and print-on-demand makes it possible to print any quantity within days and not have to hold them in stock.

When you’re making the choice to self-publish printed photo books, you’ll find that you’re able to focus on including the shots that you feel great about. You’ll find that you are able to tell the story that you want to share, and you’ll find that you’re able to print off as few or as many copies of your printed photo book as you need (you’ll even be able to get a proof copy to make sure that the book that you’ve created is the book that you wanted to create).

Simply put, printed photo books make it easy for professional photographers to realize their dreams of seeing their work in a stunning coffee table book and of knowing that their work has been published in book form.
