A traditional photo album is a luxury in the digital age
How many photos and videos do you have on your smartphone or in the cloud? How often do you look at them?
Quality from Quantity
We’ve all been there: A friend wants to show us some photos on their smartphone. First, they spend a long time searching; then two heads are crammed over a small screen; some photos are skipped; they look for better versions of a particular subject; and in the meantime, messages pop up. The overall impression: mediocre—even with expressive photos.
There is a better way, but it takes time and effort.
30 out of 3,000
If you enjoy taking photos frequently but never find the time to select the best shot from among the many versions of a subject and delete the rest, you’ll easily end up with 3,000 photos and videos stored on your smartphone and/or in the cloud by the end of the year.
How about selecting the thirty best shots from these 3,000 photos taken from a specific angle and printing them out?
After that, the photo prints don’t have to end up in a drawer; instead, they could find their way into a classic photo album.

Paper Makes All the Difference
There’s a special charm to bringing the best digital photos into the analog world. Photo albums can be created digitally. This can be done relatively quickly, but it often leads to the digitally created albums becoming overcrowded.
The discipline of selecting and printing just thirty photos, for example, requires a bit more effort, but the result is well worth it: an album that everyone who looks at it will enjoy browsing through with interest and at their leisure.
The feel of a matte photo cardstock with a good basis weight is incomparable to the glossy paper used in online printing. Give it a try.
The ideal gift
There are still two months until Christmas. That leaves plenty of time to pick out a nice photo album and start selecting the photos.
The selection process takes time, but here, too, the journey is the destination.
We’re sure that as you browse through your photo memories, many wonderful moments will come flooding back—moments that had already faded into the background amid the hectic whirlwind of time.
Your photo collection will also benefit from this process, as it’s a unique opportunity to delete photos that aren’t as good.
From Sweden with Love
For this “labor of love,” we wanted an attractive photo album that would also look great on a bookshelf. We have an idea: The Swedish company Printworks offers beautiful photo albums. The company was founded in 2017 by two former advertising executives in Stockholm who capitalized on the appeal of analog nostalgia—and have been successful in doing so.
Selecting Photo Albums at Printworks
In addition to beautiful photo albums, there are also great large boxes that add a touch of style to any room and are perfect for stowing away odds and ends.
Printworks also offers a range of games for children and adults, made of paper and therefore easy to pack in a suitcase for travel.
The ordering process is simple, and each of your photos will look world-class on the black photo cardstock.
Analog Luxury
The joy of flipping through a photo album that showcases the highlights of a trip to Scotland, documents a year in the garden, captures happy days in Switzerland, or brings back memories of Vespa rides through the Taunus Mountains—whatever is dear to your heart: A traditional photo album really brings out the best in those special moments.
The photo album will be 1,000 times better than any Instagram thread, because the content is authentic and you might even look through it together on the couch. An analog photo album like this lets you relive those happy moments.
