To me, photos are everything. No matter where I'm going, I'll always have some form of camera with me. Whether that's a phone camera, a point-and-shoot camera or a bridge camera. There's something special about capturing that important moment, that beautiful memory in a picture for life. So when I was offered the chance to try out a Blurb photobook* for myself, there was no way it was an opportunity I was going to turn down. In case you didn't know, or you haven't heard of Blurb before, the website enables individuals, professionals and amateurs to create their own high quality photobooks online easily. Users can create soft cover books, send eBooks to friends/relative, create a hardcover book and print Instagram images - the options are endless.
I have many photo albums from birth to my current university one (which I've just filled up so I'm going to need another one) but I've never before had a photobook. I've seen them, of course, especially when it comes to wedding photos and I love how beautiful they are. At first, I was going to create a university photobook but I guess in the end, I didn't see the point because of my album so instead, I decided to create a photobook for my sister's upcoming birthday. We've shared many memories together and a lot of these memories have been captured on camera so it just seems right to have them in a beautifully presented book. I ordered this book on the 26th March (quite late at night). I received it on the 4th April. This means that it was printed and sent to me in 9 days which is incredible.
So onto the photobook itself. It was extremely easy to create - I imported my photos, moved them to where I wanted them to be, typed in my text and pressed order. In fact, I loved creating it. It's very high quality. Even the scanned photos that I used from 20 years ago are of an incredible quality. It's glossy, beautiful, professional and I love it. I can tell that my sister is going to love it to when I give it to her for her birthday. This photobook cost me just £27.21 including shipping. I ordered the "small square 18x18cm, 20 pages, premium paper, lustre finish, ProLine white end sheets."
