When you make a commitment to using printed photo books, whether they are something that you are using to showcase your work or you are looking for the chance to offer something new to your clients, you'll find that a lot of the advantages are going to come from the photos that you choose. However, you're also going to find that the photo book layout that you choose to go with is going to have an impact.

Simply put, there's a lot that the photo book layout you choose will show:

• Your photo book layout will help you to indicate the subject of the photo book - whether your focus is on the bride getting ready for the wedding or your subject is a child who you have photographed over a period of time, the way that you layout the photo book can help to show your focus
• Your photo book layout will help you to showcase your marketing efforts and your sense of your work
• Your photo book layout is going to indicate which shots you (or your clients) are most satisfied with and which they wanted to have included without having them as focal points

Your photo book layout shows a number of things - and that's part of the reason why you're going to want to be sure that you're choosing the right photos, the right cropping and the best possible arrangement of those photos. You'll want to be sure that you're looking at a number of options and that you're making a choice that feels good to you.
