HOW TO SELECT THE BEST PHOTOS FOR YOUR MOBILE
TIPS
01
Tell a story
Think of your album as a visual narrative. Select photos that, when viewed together, tell the full story of your trip. Include images that represent the beginning, middle, and end of your adventure, from setting off to your destination to returning home.
02
Remove duplicates and blurry photos
It's easy to end up with several similar or duplicate photos when you're trying to capture perfection. Before choosing photos for your album, remove those that are out of focus, blurry, or don't add anything new. This will make the selection much more manageable.
03
Consider the quality of the image
Make sure the photos you select are of adequate resolution, especially if you plan to print them. Pixelated or low-quality images may look acceptable on your phone, but they won't have the same impact in a printed album. Keep in mind that photos sent via WhatsApp often lose quality, so it's best to use shared folders so that everyone on the trip can upload their photos without compromising resolution. Options like iCloud and WeCollect are great for this purpose. Opt for clear, well-lit images with an attractive composition.
04
Look for variety
A good photo book should have a mix of different types of images: landscapes, portraits, details, and candid shots. Be sure to include a variety of angles and perspectives to maintain visual interest. Don't limit yourself to just posed photos; sometimes the most authentic images are those that capture unexpected moments.
05
Select according to album size
Consider how many photos will fit into your planned album. If it's a small album of up to 100 photos, select only the most striking and representative images. If you have up to 200 photos, you can include a wider selection of images, but make sure each photo adds something to the whole.
06
Organize your photos by day or event
Before you start selecting, organize your photos into folders based on the days of your trip or the important events you experienced. This will allow you to more clearly see which moments you want to highlight and will help you maintain a coherent narrative in your album.
07
Take your time
You don't need to select all of your photos at once. Review your selection at various times to make sure you're picking the best ones. Sometimes taking a break and coming back to your images with a fresh perspective will help you make a better final selection.
Creating a photo album of your trip is a wonderful way to relive those special moments. By following these tips, you'll be able to select the best photos from your phone and create an album that's not only beautiful, but also captures the essence of your adventure. Enjoy the process and create a memory you'll cherish forever!
