WORDS BY WILL CHEUNG
YOU PUT LOTS of time and money into producing wonderful images, and while they look good on screen, it’s worth getting your best shots into print. We appreciate that not every photo is worth printing – and wall space is often at a premium – but on occasion, it’s worth treating yourself to a big print or two, or perhaps getting your best shots into a book. Large, framed prints are great for special pictures, but prints and photo books are worth producing more often. Getting your favourite shots in a book after a trip makes a lovely memento, and something to enjoy in the future. And with the easy-to- use design software offered by photo book services, it’s easy to conjure up a unique product. We’ve pulled together the UK’s finest printing and presentation services. Whatever your budget or tastes, there’s something here for you.

Film never really went away, and it’s now enjoying a resurgence of interest, especially with younger photographers who are only now discovering the joys of silver halide.
