A PHOTOBOOK IS AN IDEAL GIFT FOR….

Christmas

Birthday

Wedding Anniversary

Special Occasion

Photographs really are one of the very few things that are both precious and truly irreplaceable. We usually store them away in a cupboard, drawer or the attic and never look at or appreciate them as often as we should.

A collection of your favourite photographs, beautifully presented in one of our high quality lay-flat photobooks makes looking at them a pleasure every time.

As well as considering old family photographs, don’t forget that you probably have thousands of photographs on your mobile phone that may never see the light of day!
Choose the best ones and fully enjoy them in a photobook.

We can help you at every stage of the process, including scanning and collating your photographs, optimising them to reduce fading and correct the colours, putting the photobook together with titles and captions and even sending you an online virtual proof of the book, for you to approve before it’s printed. 

Our new lay-flat VIP photobook offers a truly professional finish. The photographs in it are photographically printed on heavy weight 440gsm photographic lustre paper and then sewn bound for added permanence. The outer cover can also be printed. This is a substantial book that is far superior to many other photobooks you may have seen. 
The seamless lay-flat albums use a unique stitched binding which allows for the continuous flow of images over a spread, with no central image loss.  See further details HERE

This is a testimonial we received as a result of a photobook we produced recently:

“We had the idea of a family history photobook and turned to Photographs Forever for help and advice. Over the last year we have worked with Richard and his daughter Amy to restore and edit around 175 photographs and create an illustrated family history. The photo restoration work was never in doubt but what really struck us this time was the quality of the design and layout of the album, combining very old sepia toned photos with modern, colour digital prints together with a significant amount of explanatory text. One friend described the finished product as “a work of art” and the whole family is mightily impressed. We now have a wonderful photographic record for posterity and are very grateful to Richard and team for making this possible and for the never-ending patience throughout the project – Many thanks Richard”

Why a Photobook is Brilliant Value…

I had some family and household expenses recently and thought them worth sharing as it illustrates what great everlasting value a photobook is in comparison.

Customer Reaction to The Photobook Provided by Photographs Forever

LayFlat-Album-2-web

We are increasingly asked to provide our new lay-flat photobooks by people who have a collection of photographs that they want to both preserve and also share with others. Here is the feedback we received from Harry W when he received his photobook.

“I had been waiting for a long time to get my photographs of a wonderful trip to the Middle East put into a photobook but, as there were some 100 photographs, I really had no idea how best to deal with it.

I then had some photographs restored by Richard and they were so impressive that I asked him if he could make the book for me. He went to as great deal of trouble to send me miniature sheets of the photographs so that I could choose what to use and what to leave out, what I wanted to print as large copies and those that could be best fitted in as smaller ones.

When I received the final book, I was delighted and described the whole exercise as a masterpiece. It will be a family heirloom and a joy to continue to look at.”

One of the Best Ways to Enjoy Your Precious Photographs

I can help you at every stage of the process, including scanning your photographs, optimising them to reduce fading and correct the colours, putting the photo book together with titles and captions if required and even sending you an online virtual proof of the book, for you to approve before it’s printed.

Family Photobooks Are So Worthwhile

Colette first contacted me in October 2012 and since then I have scanned many of her family photographs. I asked Colette to tell her story…..

“I think it all started with me seeing your advert in a local magazine and being sad at seeing my son Fabrice’s photos, taken in the 1970s, deteriorating rapidly. I had made an album for him for his 30th birthday in Dec 2002. I more or less stuck the original photos in chronological order in the album and wrote a line of text underneath each photo with the date and the place it was taken. Fabrice was absolutely thrilled with that first album. For him, it was like going back to his roots, if you see what I mean. I had the impression of having given him his childhood back and he was very moved that I had spent quite a bit of time making that album.
After I saw your advert, I thought you were the person who could save Fabrice’s photos. I gave you a small job and I was very pleased with the work you did, so I unstuck all the photos which were in Fabrice’s handmade album and gave them to you to scan and optimize in a view to make a new album. You showed me the albums you’d made for your children and I thought they were brilliant.That’s when I thought I had to do the same for my other children, Marianne and Hugo, not just Fabrice. While the work was in progress for the first albums which I gave to my children for Christmas 2014, you gave me plenty of advice and you showed limitless patience as I changed my mind time and time again.

My three children got their second album for Christmas 2015 and to see their reaction when they first look at it is priceless and worth all the efforts. They look at each other’s album and exchange memories and ask each other questions. As a parent, it is really wonderful to see. Albums number 3 are in the pipeline for Christmas 2016, for the three of them as their pictorial history continues.”
