I recently found out about a company called Lulu.com. Lulu is a self publishing and book printing company. They do eBooks, photo books, books and calenders. They said I could make myself any photo book I wanted. I decided to get the small ones. It’s called Compact and comes in a set of 3. The photos are 5.25×3.5 inches. I figured this would make a great size for a portfolio of sorts to keep with me. Since there will be 3 I can keep one in my camera bag, one in my purse and one in my car.
Smart right?
Whenever I am out with my camera people are asking to see some of my photos. I normally have to pull flickr up on my phone so they can see. Having the compact photo book on hand will be so much easier. You can even choose to publish your own book to sell. They’ll give you 80% in creator royalties on each sale. I’ve had a ton of people say they would love to have some of my Texas photos in their homes, so I am considering this as an option.
Ordering was easy! You have a few different options on how to get your photos to your account. I chose to link it up with Flickr. this was extremely simple. I just went through the sets and chose what photos to pull. Easy! You can also upload directly from your computer if you like.
Looking over their services I am considering letting Morgan publish one of her books through here, that is if she ever finishes one of them!
