Some of the reasons why professional photographers turn to printed photo books is the inspiration of others:

In an effort to promote photography, the release of his new book, and, indirectly, the release of the latest release of Adobe Lightroom, author, publisher, and all around nice guy Scott Kelby is hosting the first ever Worldwide Photo Walk.

Scott Kelby’s Worldwide Photo Walk will take place in two weeks on August 23, 2008 and is happening in over 200 cities around the globe. Covering six continents and twenty-four time zones, photographers will be hooking up for a free, social photography event to take pictures, meet new people, get a little exercise, and have an excuse to do what they like doing best.

If you’re looking to get involved in a similar projects, you’ll find that there are a number of photo book design tips that you will want to keep in mind:

• When you’re designing a printed photo book, you’ll find that you are able to look at all of the photos from the event to choose the ones that fit the best.
• When you know that you are going to be designing a printed photo book, you’ll want to think about the shots that you take well before you start sorting through, editing and doing post production work
• When you are going to be designing printed photo books after an event with other photographers, you may want to think about using some of the other shots taken by the group - and, of course, if you do, there will be additional design elements that you’ll want to consider

Simply put, when you are going to be designing printed photo books - whether or not the shots your taking have been taken in an organized function, an event or even just a chance to get out with your camera to explore the world.
