If you’re starting out with photography as a hobby, you’ll want to chronicle your progress with each step. Instead of just uploading images to a computer and forgetting about them, consider photo printing. Below, you’ll find this and other options to bring your work to life and share it with loved ones.

Show Your Photography at Home or in Galleries With These 4 Options

1. Frames

Take the shots you really love, like beautifully composed landscapes or candids of friends and family, and give them a special place in your home. Use a professional photo printing shop to create high-gloss or matte versions of the images. Then, place them in frames to create a gallery to rotate as you create new work.

2. Scrapbooks

If you just can't choose what photos to print, you may want to print them all and turn them into a scrapbook. Make mixed media collages with newspapers, magazine clippings, and stickers to really get creative. This can be a fun way to relive and share these memories later on. 

3. Printed Albums

Many budding photographers focus their work on friends and family. Turn your new hobby into treasured keepsakes by working with a photo printing company to create albums for everyone you love. These books make ideal gifts for holidays like Christmas, Mother’s Day, and Valentine’s Day.

4. Digital Slideshows

Do you want to share your work with faraway fans or create a portfolio for potential clients? Make digital slideshows to showcase different styles of photography. Create one for portraits and one for landscape shots or organize the images by date to tell a story over time. Also, make a best hits slideshow with all your most impressive images to show versatility.
