Photography Book Industry Standards
PrintNinja recommends keeping the following guidelines in mind when you design a photography book.
A picture is worth a 1,000 words – which means photography books speak the loudest! These books contain full-page photos with very little text other than bylines, the name of the artwork and location. As with any type of art, there are many creative directions you can go in and that holds true with photography books when it comes to finishes and size – a photography book can be just as beautiful as the photos it contains within it. We can help you print the photography book of your wildest dreams! However, if you still want some guidelines, below we’ve assembled the few industry-standard specs that photobooks have.
