I was asked a question today and didn't know the answer...so I thought I'd throw it to you guys.
My husband's co-worker was just married in the Dominican and would like to make a nice album of his photo's. (all printed 6x8 by the photographer which I think is odd) Apparently they've looked everywhere!
Does anyone know of a place to get nice albums online?
That's a bit of an odd size. It's normally 7x5 or 10x8.It's a shame that they've got them printed out rather than having the digital images as I do all my photobooks for clients through blurb. Sorry...that's not much help but maybe they could backtrack and email the photographer for the digital images instead. Or maybe scan the images in and make a photobook.
Hey Jenn... Blacks photography is all about 6x8 these days... They have lots of albums for this size... Not sure about wedding albums, but def a place to check... And def chk online for Blacks - better selection...
If they are getting an album to fix the photos into, (as per Bluebell's suggestion), be sure that the pages are acid free. A quality album (often) has black acid free paper to mount the photos and tissue paper that goes over the top. If they are going to scan the photos, and have a photo book printed, they will need to use a good quality scanner - else there could be a colour variation between the original pic and the scanned one.
@stephw I am looking for an album like the one you mentioned...where can i find those types of albums? I have gone to camera shops and craft stores and all i find are album for a scrapbooking. Not quite what im going for.
Not sure where you are located. I bought one many years ago from an 'art supply' store - and have since seen them in good quality stationers. A reputable photo lab - or photographer could also be a source. If you do a search on 'acid free photo album' you may get a hit. I googled 'acid free dry mount photo album' and came up with this website in Australia (one of many 'hits') http://www.photoalbumshop.com.au/category1_1.htm.
Thanks so much guys! I've talked to him and he DOES have a disc. They were given a cheesy frame for their favourtie shot and nothing would fit!
Since he has the disc, I suggested printing his own sizes OR making a photobook. Found this great site.... http://www.photobookcanada.com/pricing
