One of the things that is interesting for photographers who offer printed photo books as an option to their clients is that it creates the opportunity for those photographers to have a sense of what shots they’re going to need to capture, what order those shots will need to be processed in and a sense of “the story” even before going to the shoot.

In other words, those photographers who are using printed photo books are going to find themselves in a position to establish their workflow and to chart a course even before sitting down with their clients. Because of this, it becomes a lot easier for these photographers to focus on other parts of the transaction - like communicating with their clients about the “story” behind their images.

By talking with your clients who will be ordering a printed photo book up front, you will find that you are in a position in which you are sure that your clients know what they want, what they will be getting and what it is going to take to fully capture their memories. Then, after the shoot, all that will be left is choosing which specific photos are going to be used in the printed photo books.

One of the greatest things about using printed photo books to showcase your work is the fact that there are so many different options. Based on the photo book layout that you choose, you’ll find that there are a number of different ways in which you can showcase your work.

Some photographers will look at using a photo book layout that will showcase a single image on a page with descriptions on the facing page; others will, rather than using descriptions, focus on giving an indication of the prices that they charge for prints. Others are going to layout their printed photo books in such a way as to display the post-processing work that they do, the different sizes of images that they can create.

Regardless of what option you choose when you’re laying out printed photo books, one of the things that you are going to find is that there are plenty of great options. Whether you only create one printed photo book layout to work with or you focus on creating different photo books for different situations or clients, you will find that the most effective thing that you can do is to take advantage of the opportunity - to take advantage of the chance to showcase your work with printed photo books.

(source)Bryan Davies Photography of Creemore is venturing into book publishing by producing its first pictorial coffee table book.

Creemore Classics contains 52 pages of classic and antique automobiles, several from this area.

“With the help of writers like Alex Hargrave and Marion Abbey, we have maintained a local focus on these timeless treasures,” says Bryan Davies, editor and photographer on the project.

Some of the featured vehicles are Murray Stephens’ 1918 Ford Model T Truck (Glencairn) and George Scriver’s 1911 Ford Runabout (Dunedin) and Bill Bendell’s 1933 Frontenac (Creemore).

The book was designed by Corey Finkelstein of Creemore and printed and bound in Creemore by Gary Page and his crew.

Printed photo books allow you to self-publish your work. Printed photo books also allow you to create a customized coffee table book that you’ll be in control of from start to finish - you and the others who you are working with as well as those who will be picking up the book after it has been completed.

Simply put, printed photo books create a number of great opportunities for photographers - especially when they are looking into working together on a project that they share a passion for.

Photographers will find that there are a number of great tools that are available to them - tools like Photoshop that will allow them to take their work and to turn it into something altogether new. With printed photo books, you’ll be able to show off the finished product:

(source)“It used to be that photographs provided documentary evidence, and there was something sacrosanct about that,” said Chris Johnson, a photography professor at California College of the Arts in the Bay Area.

If you wanted to remove an ex from an old snapshot, you had to use a Bic pen or pinking shears. But in the digital age, people treat photos like mash-ups in music, combining various elements to form a more pleasing whole.

“What we’re doing,” Johnson said, “is fulfilling the wish that all of us have to make reality to our liking.”

With printed photo books, you won’t just have to work with samples of photos and images that are pieced together, you will be able to show amalgams of photos and the art that you’ve created.

While just about anyone can make the choice to use Photoshop, there are plenty of professional photographers out there who are doing even more with their work; why not take advantage of printed photo books and other tools that are available to help you share your photo work?
