Tall and wide
Because travel photos come in all shapes and sizes, as you look up and look around.
Girona, created with the “Perfectly Photobooked” set
There is a story behind the name of this template album, and it’s not just that it’s an arrogant name for really useful set for creating travel photobooks… ;-)
After returning from a stint in France and Spain, I realised I had a lot of tall photos after hours spent wandering the streets looking up at towers and tall old buildings. So I made a set of templates to create with, and later packaged it up as “Perfectly Tall” (a small nod as well to the daughter I was travelling with)
But soon after travel album-maker said they loved using it, but could they have a set with some panoramic/wide photos? So ‘Perfectly Panoramic” was made, and bundled together with the others as “Perfectly Photobooked”.
Those tall buildings can make the narrow alleyways and streets of old cities pretty dark and grim, so on the page at the top, I had some fun lightening and enlivening them (and helping them work together) with some colourful overlays.
One of the best things about this method of making photobooks is that you are very much creating each page as one whole thing (rather than dragging and dropping individual photos into premade photobook provider software), so you can tweak the pics and the page to work as a cohesive whole (them upload it as a jpeg as ‘one large photo’).
Here’s a few other examples of the pages from that photobook of mine:
And another where I had fun finding historical images of the town we were living in, and mixed them in with my own photos:
And a few pages from another very different trip:
