Do You Print Your Photos? How?

in #photofeed5 years ago

A while back (now checking, omg it was 3 months ago) @soyrosa wrote about printing a book. You can check the post clicking HERE. She has an interesting theme of "Through a dirty train window". That got me thinking that it would be interesting to make some kind of photobook, but how to make it thematic and about what?
Few days ago, going through my hard drives i got an idea what the book could be. Everything i photographed in Underground Rock Music Club. 2 years ago few of my friends opened this Club as an idea to make a place where people could well mostly play a lot of music, record some of it, and most important have fun. Why we needed something like this is a story for another time. So i photographed a lot here, from my personal projects to bands playing. And i can say it was fun looking for the photos and picking some. It is only 2 years but people changed, place it selfe changed, and my photography changed. This is not my best work, but it is a documentary work and it shows a period in all our lives.

So here is first part of the wider selection of the photos, hope you like it.

I still don't know what will be the format and type of the book. All i know it will be a gift to the Club.


Do you print your photos? Did any of you make a book, what is the best size, how did you do it? Any advice is highly appreciated.


Liquid part of the reword could be used to print it (i still have no idea what would be the cost) if not all will go to SP. Thanks

PS:Martin if you are reading this, well it will not be a surprise for you :)

Ja bogami svake godine napravim jedan album - svaka čast monitoru, ali osećaj je osećaj

ja ponekad istampam neku fotku A4 - A3 formata, ne tako cesto, albume nisam do sad. koji format otprilike a da ne bude ni suvise malo ni suvise veliko (a i preskupo :) )

Starinski, 15x10. Ono sto mi je zanimljivo je stil, kako se promenio. Ćale što je fotkao pre 30 godina i neka moja logika sada. Pitam se koja im je uopšte logika bila da se vidi ceo čovek, drugih 20 ljudi koji su upali u kadar, mnogo neba, mnogo zemlje i taj bitni objekat ispred koga se pozira.

:) nije tad bilo toliko informacija o fotografiji, sad ako imas volje da ucis sve ti je na netu. mada mozda i sad da uzmes neki prosek svih fotki, verovatno bi tako izgledale

I saw the mention but forgot to comment - I'm so glad you're thinking about creating a book - it is such a fulfilling experience! To hold your photos in your hands :D

My latest hand-bound book I made by getting a more or less 'commercial' printer with good taste in paper to print my photos in landscape on recycled thick paper, 1 photo on A5 format. I folded 1 cm from one side, drilled holes in it, and bound it with thick leather wax thread. I love it :D But this was only meant to have an edition of 20. I know blurb.com does 'order per item' - might be a good idea if you want to give one to the club and then 'fans of the club' are able to order when they want one too.

Good luck - hope you'll find a way to make it into something you want to hold often :-)

A5 could be good size, not too big not too small. not sure if i would have will, patience and knowledge to make it myself, especially bounding, i feel it would fell apart :D, so now i am looking for a decent and not that expensive someone that is making books.
I did print some photos in A3/A4 formats and yes it is better than leaving it digital :)
Also found some people that print on mediapan (not sure is it a good translation, it is some type of press wood) and thinking on doing a test prints (price is not that big, will see how it will look)
And i thing the edition will be 1 or maybe 2 :) one for them and one for me :D not sure about the fans :D

on the other note, wanted to ask for a while, did you had the time to test the camera? is it in working condition?

Ohhh - experimenting is the best! That's never a waste of time and resources, you'll learn so much :-)

Your camera is waiting for me to start shooting with! It has a special place near my couch - I want to start shooting when I have two more tools delivered to me (but since they are Kickstarter it takes a looooooong time) which is a home print developer and a special 'film negative scan app' that works from your iPhone. My idea was to see if I can do the full process of shooting and developing and printing all from home. But it takes way longer than intended so I might bring your camera with me to Kraków and send the film in to a professional developer and share with you the results :D

nice idea, i never got to the part of self developing films.
and you would think that 36 photos is not a lot, but at least for me, it looks that there is no end :D i have half of the role for a year now in the camera.
