Making A Unique Travel Photo Album

By Kerri Stout


One accessory that you never leave behind when you are going out or travelling is your camera to take photos. A travel photo album is necessary to keep those memorable occasions with you in an organized manner. Making a terrific photo album can be as simple as counting one to ten.

How to choose the perfect album cover. There is a proverb that says that do not judge a book by its cover, this is totally different in photos.The cover of the album will totally say a lot of what is inside. If you head for a trip to the Paris, you may want to buy a cover there that has French landmark prints, this will make a person know almost immediately without looking that there are amazing photos from an equally amazing place and certainly will want to look at them. If you have Egyptian photos, a cover from Egypt will fit well or better yet some pyramids or some of the ancient Egyptian artifacts.

Carefully choose the photos to put in the album. Not all the pictures you take will fit in your albums. You will have to select the best among the best shots you took. This can be stressing especially when you have incredibly many great shots but it is a pain you have to deal with. Choosing can be hard so you can ask a friend to pick for you if you find it impossible to choose although they will choose according to their preferences which might not be same as yours.

Write your captions carefully. A photo speaks for itself and a caption is just but an addition to the message. You will only mess up the whole photo of you first write a caption then go ahead and change it. You can save the mess by using a pre-written caption. You have to think carefully and note it down then make corrections until you have the correct wordings. Write it using your free hand for both originality and craftiness

Arrange your photos in orderly manner. The correct order in which your photos should appear in the collection is the one you want and not any other "rule" given out there. It is your album so make it look good as per you. A tip on this however it would be great to have the photos with sweetest memories on top to remind you of those heavenly moments you had each time you open it

You may wonder why you need to do this when there're many digital albums. But think of it as an activity you will remember. Each time you look at your album you see your creativity in it. You perfect it the way you want it to be. This should be fun.

Take your time, because you should not be in a hurry to make it. Take your time and be patient. You can sweat and curse when you are making it but at a later date when you look at it and you are amazed at how good it looks you will laugh at the curses you said.

These are only a few of the tips of your incredible travel photo collection. Just use the next time on your album and be thoroughly amazed when it is done. Be more creative and add twists here and there to these tips.
