The BEST Way To Print Your Photos

[@BeckiandChris]

Do you guys ever print your photos? I feel like it’s a bit of a lost art but DAMN it’s fun to do.

[@kevin_tosh]

i love doing it ...

[@mynameisneb]

I've always had my favs printed through Mpix

[@JohanLundberg]

I keep pushing it to the future, but this video was a great inspiration to get it done. This fall. Probably.

[@DEZADOG11]

Currently planning on making prints to fill out some spaces in my new home. This will be the first time I'll be printing my own work , although I've spent way to much on gear instead 😅

[@captainxbengex007]

I just started my channel going over my journey learning about printing photos. The ink is ridiculous but I love getting to see them printed off in person that large. The settings and paper selection is killing me and I wish I had your eye for detail. I'll try to recommend a certain paper or setting to people but I leave it up to them. I think you are right about some photos needing to go on a matte but every now and then I do enjoy a glossy or higher. I've been printing my photos, clients photos and even photos for my other photographer friends. I really enjoyed this video thank you! Keep it going!!!

This makes me want to take more pictures😊

Yessss capture alllll the photons

[@amitsemwal1572]

Can we have a full version of this, everything from scratch.

[@roguetrail]

Right! I want to know that font... although I am guessing it's Bebas?

[@amitsemwal1572]

@@roguetrail It's definitely some cinematic bold font type, though I'm more interested in her InDesign work!!

[@mattpowell6975]

This may be my favorite video I’ve seen of yours. You can tell you didn’t make it because it’s what the people wanted, you made it because it means something to you. These are the videos I want to see.

[@exdroidz]

The mood in this video is UNREAL! We're currently undergoing a storm and the weather outside is cloudy and cold which has me in such a relaxed state of mind and watching this video makes the vibe feel just right.

[@CreativeRyan]

This was tight!! Been looking into blurb myself, now I’m confident in pulling the trigger! 🙌🏼 The aesthetic & colors on this video looks SOO good too!! 🖤

[@TheAccidentalPhotographer]

This was really helpful, a follow-up showing the way you do it in indesign would be awesome

[@klintk215]

That would be cool! An InDesgin video!!!!!

[@benhammedia9940]

That would be nice

[@DingleDays]

I second this recommendation. Thumbs up for follow-up #beckiandchris

[@NickFaulkner]

Would love to see that as know I want to make some books.

[@benzpascual8568]

Yesss

[@rickmarquez]

Love how clean your designs look. Also I love that you touch on for Instagram vs personal memories and the value in each of those.

[@GeeketcFr]

We took the habit to always make an album when we come back from a trip. Having the photos on paper is such a different feel and is so satisfying

[@clayd333]

Me: How do u make these look so good? Becki: I'm a wizard with InDesign, color and page layout.. Me: Son of a..

[@AndrewTran]

i just started recently doing this. I had the epiphany one day that with digital photos they always just live on people's phone and hard drives now. Printing them out really has a special feel and sentimental value to them

[@andrewstewart6689]

I have made a couple magazines through blurb. If you are just starting out with printing or on a budget this is a great way to go. What I have learned so far is that colours/tones don’t always print the same way they look on screen.

[@MultiJt1234]

The color grading quality of these videos are top notch. I can only dream of watching them in ultra wide

[@UncleJessy]

Perfect perfect timing! I was just thinking about making a photo book as a wedding anniversary gift

[@BeckiandChris]

Hell yes!!

[@DamienSousadeGouveia]

I still love the NY shot of Chris getting into the cab with a long shutter! A golden oldie that has pushed me to try long exposures on moving subjects. Thank you Becki for teaching and inspiring us oh and Chris for his 'the more you know' comments 😂. The best of which was the Pepsi vs Coke challenge 😂.

[@jerryespinosa7198]

This is awesome! I'm taking a summer road trip with my son to visit my daughter in San Francisco. I wanted to document our adventure to see my daughter/his sister. Thanks!

[@AnthonyQuintano]

OMG now I have to go through ten years of photos and start creating photobooks because ALL my work lives online and hard drives. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@anonymoususer8924]

I wish there was a way to see more of your photos like these! Sometimes the less-than-bangers of photographers are really fun to look at.

[@BeckiandChris]

I got a personal IG account for that! Mostly memories and random mobile photos

[@grahambrown5874]

I like photo-books and created my first one to record my holiday to the Maldives. It was worth the expense, because the photos from this part of the world were unique and a great way record a timeline and share with friends and family. I made another when I came to the US to build hours, island hoping, flying around the Bahamas. More recently I captured the work I did decorating my home whilst applying new skills that made the end result more memorable. You mentioned printing, I bought a used Epson Stylus Pro 7880, to make big prints that I have taken or downloaded from a photo bank then framed then, and created themes in different rooms around the house. When we bought our Ducati Scrambler motorbikes we used of these bikes to create a theme in our snug. Next year we will change them to something else. To get the best results and limit workflow we hire the RIP software as it allows me to drop a number of images on the virtual roll of paper and quickly play with the layout and image sizes. Spending some money on a tool to create profiles for the third-party ink and paper gives me great results and save a lot of money on not buying the OEM inks. I like your videos and photo tutorials. They have given me some new ideas to play with. Everything on your channel is of a standard and looks so natural, but I guess a lot time goes into each video. Great job and thanks fir sharing!

[@AlexSpiess]

“I dunno... nobody asked for this video...” While that might be true, you can bet that I’ll be doing this soon! Thanks for the video i didn’t know i needed!!!

[@BeckiandChris]

Glad it was helpful!

[@TAKUMISEGI]

the whole World: A7S III!!!! R555555!!!! R6!!!!! Becki: BOOKS!!!!! love it. I am a design student. I had the opportunity to design and curate a portfolio book. super fun.

[@alisinclair8529]

I have family prints in my hallway but apart from that everything else goes into photobooks, I love building the layouts and putting together images as a story!

[@BeckiandChris]

It’s so enjoyable!

[@BrianSellers]

We've been using Blurb for 10 years now! Our wedding album, kids' albums, etc. - they're great. And while it's not "cheap," it's TOTALLY worth it. Our photos BECOME our memories, and that's what life is really about. And Becki, your design... everything... is just awesome.

[@BrianSellers]

Oh, also - we always get 2 copies of each album... just because with kids, pets, and... life... it's huge peace of mind knowing that we have a backup. Do you do that, or just life life on the edge with a solo album? 😂

[@EliasDelvasto]

I know you said that no one asked for this video but I am SO happy you made this. I have my first book on the way and I am psyched!

[@joedavis9842]

I'm in the process of printing some photos for Christmas presents and this is going to be my project for next year, so this is SUPER helpful.

[@ashleatherman5033]

I'm a librarian with a degree in graphic design. I hope you know what this video just did to my little heart!! LOVE this!!!!

[@canorousdesign]

Not the video I asked for, but the video i needed. Have around a couple of TBs worth of shots in my backup storage. And the only time I see them is when i'm looking for some old project and then its like a memory blast. Would be nice to make them into physical copies. "See, I can do colour"- Becki *shows the shot of the sea* I sea what you did there xD

[@AaronMello]

I don't print enough for myself. As a wedding photographer, I'm constantly designing and printing books for clients, always exciting to hold the final project. Maybe this will give me a kick to make some books for myself, finally!

[@dianjnorton5759]

Talk about reading my mind!! I've wanted to do a book for ages and keep putting it off. Thanks for the reminder! And the iphone memories a great tip.

[@Neature.nut.]

My favourite part of this is the commentary on the paper scent 😂 I feel you Becky, good book smells are THE BEST

[@goncalocaseiro4649]

Your awesome memories and tips will help me to create mine. for sure!! Thank you Becki

[@macavera]

We have been using blurb (soft cover) for 10 years documenting our daughters life. It's great for gifts to everyone especially the grandparents.

[@koalafudge]

I did this recently so that my father who can't use the internet would be able to see some of my photography and I will definitely be ordering more books as time goes by! Such a great experience compared to just seeing your photos on a screen and also makes you go through your photos again a bit more critically which is great for learning.

[@BeckiandChris]

Absolutely!! I love sitting down screen free and flipping through

[@timothyandabigail]

Thanks for the inspiration Becki. We need to print our wedding photos!

[@wadejinright3952]

Thank you for sharing how you share your memories.

[@00DM4]

i love watching this video because of how i can connect as a designer and who love photography. How i wish to do it like you as well!

[@chevy2die]

This is such a good idea. And it seems like it would give you some inspiration for taking more photos on trips.

[@aidanjanzen]

Leave it to becki and Chris to take getting prints to a whole new artsy level. And what great coffee table books, hell fuckin yeah.

[@BeckiandChris]

Haha the whole process is so fun especially seeing them in person!

[@tony_cgivfx]

I absolutely love this idea and am going to start a photo book library starting with my next trip!

[@PureHeartdP]

cool video for my final for undergrad (6yrs ago) OMG i am getting old lol we made books with blurb. the quality was pretty good! I need to get back into making my books!

[@TonyLey]

LOVE the tips. I love using Blurb. I always make photo books for Christmas gifts for people. When people hire me or have me help with projects I always shoot a lot of photos of the project (and try not to let them see me getting those photos) to surprise them later with a good-looking photo book of their project to keep on their shelf and show people their work! Love the tips in this video!

[@kristinaj9362]

I fell in love with photography because my mother has hundreds of photo albums. I find now we barely print our photos so I definitely want to implement this. Thanks Becki!!!

[@ChakraWielder]

Love this! I've never printed photo's into a book before but I love the idea of having a matching collection of trips. Might give this a go. Thanks for Sharing Becki.

[@masonbrown1979]

I loved the video! This is such a great idea and your books look fantastic. I am definitely going to start making books for all of my trips!

[@miniteddy5555]

Love this content. Thank you for reminding the little things we take granted for 🤩 Love too the uniformity in your photobooks looks. I do compile travel, special events photos and those from phones in @photobook, just like you did-according to when it started, so that it tells a story when i look at them later. I tend to appreciate tangible photos now after the passing on of my loved ones. Photos they left are gems and it is such a touching moment to relive the memories, with the kids. Printing photos may not be a big deal now but it is gold to those who look back at them. Priceless!

[@FeerSer]

now I wanna travel so I do this. Very inspiring video, thanks!

[@tyler_lauu]

Those look so cool. What a great idea and perfectly executed

[@Brando256]

Oooo! Spectacular. This video is a god send. I've never considered a book. Thanks you soooooo much for this idea!

When 0:00 Becki say hello and smile, my heart just went OooPs. So cute!! Great video :)

[@TimChuon]

I've been a huge fan of your style and to see that projected into these photobooks-omg. This is such a unique and interesting idea and i definitely want to start doing this for my photos now too! thanks for the tips Becki! (p.s. love how each book is organized, in order, and stylistically consistent. THIS IS SO SATISFYING)

I just saw your channel and this is fire good quality. Also, my favorite thing is how you decorated a room that's so classy. Thx for the video

This is such a great idea! I have to do this

[@dannyspasov]

Love the idea of printing photos. Thank you for this video. I've just recently printed my first bigger prints and it is awesome! Before that (3-4 years in photography) never printed anything and now I'm rediscovering photography around printing. Great design and layout in your photo books!

So many times I "planned" on creating a photo book of my travels and memorable time with friends but between work and study (all music related) and moving back to the US from Japan, waiting to get a better understanding and solid skills of post production which I now have and the whole cycle again of traveling.... Never completed it.. Gotta get it done this year! Thanks for the inspiration

[@TheJacksonsMichael89]

I would love to see your process of creating your photo book. I do photo books myself but I feel it is very difficult to come up with a well designed photo book that contains all the photos you would like to print. Sometimes I have photos from a specific event which don’t fit together in terms of colour matching. Your pages look very even and pleasant to look at. I would like to see another video with more details and tips for creating a photo book.

[@westleywood1553]
