We now live in a digital world where the latest technology lies at our fingertips and we save all pictures on our mobile phone, computer, or on the cloud. This way, it can seem useless to go back to such an old tradition like printing photos and saving them in a physical album. That couldn’t be farther from the truth though, as there are various reasons why you should consider designing a photo book: Read More…

MILK Books vs Artifact Uprising Comparison
When making a photo book, sometimes we’re in a rush and need the quickest and most convenient thing we can get; other times we’re aiming for quality and are willing to invest the time and money to get an exceptional product.

How to Save Old Photos to Photo Books With Digitization
To this day many professionals think that film photography – also known as traditional photography – is the only true form of capturing moments. However, not only is this harder to share physical photos with others, but without an album available it isn’t easy to store them either. Not to mention that if a photo is damaged and there are no copies of it, that picture is gone for good.
While many people have realized that digitization can save old photographs from being destroyed, those photos usually end up sharing the same fate as their contemporary counterparts: namely, being forgotten in a folder hidden away on the computer. It doesn’t have to be that way, though. In fact, by organizing scanned photos into a photo book in much the same way our older relatives did when placing physical photographs into those good old photo albums, those older memories can finally be given the dignity they always deserved.

Thankfully, there are more dignified ways of expressing your passion for cars – and a photo book will do just that. Read More…
