We all love traveling because it gives us some much-needed leisure time, lets us explore new places, and gives us a new environment in which to discover ourselves. A vacation with family and friends re-energizes the soul, makes one feel joyful, and provides long-lasting memories. Our users turn their favorite memories turned into travel books: Outdoor adventures in Hawaii; walking across the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco; exploring the streets of New York City; visiting Disneyland with the kids; witnessing the wonder of mesmerizing Niagara Falls, and exploring the culinary wonders of Italy through countryside food tours just to name a few! These types of memories deserve to live forever in printed travel Photo Books by SimplePrints. Plus, you can share these memories by gifting copies to your travel companions.
You can start planning the creation of your travel photo book before your trips. Here are some expert tips from SimplePrints to make this an easy and enjoyable process.
-
Research the ideal photo ops: Research the destinations and places you want to visit. Travel recommendations from different resources (such as travel bloggers and influencers) can give you ideas of fun and unique photo opportunities throughout your travel.
-
Select a photo book theme: We know you want to create a travel photo book, but how would you like to organize it? You may want to go the classic route and upload the picture in chronological order to tell the story of the whole trip. You may have a unique take and separate sections of your custom photo book by telling each traveler's tales. If you are a frequent traveler, you may want to create monthly travel books and showcase them on your coffee table. The sky's the limit to making the perfect travel photo book. Just keep your theme in mind when taking pictures and organizing them before uploading them to your SimplePrints photo book layout.
-
Taking the perfect photo: When taking a picture, take a look around you and make sure to identify the items you want to capture. Take wider shots when including significant landmarks and people. Check where the light is coming from so no one is backlit. Keep still as best as you can while taking the photos to avoid blurry pictures. Last but not least, make sure the person or the attraction is in focus before taking the photo.
-
Take notes of the highlights of your trip: It is easy to forget details such as names, places, and fun moments of your trip. To ensure this doesn't happen, take notes on your phone and save restaurants or spots you visited on google maps. This will help you be more detailed when creating captions and adding location QR codes to your travel photo books.
